Terra Moons Solar Cosmic Chameleons Reviews & Swatches (Part 2 of 2)
Artemis
Terra Moons Artemis Cosmic Chameleon Shadow ($13.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a brighter, bluish-teal base with shimmer that shifted from cooler aqua to green to warmer green paired with a sparkling, metallic finish. It was richly pigmented with a brighter, more intense finish that was particularly shiny.
The consistency was moderately emollient, dense but not thick, and picked up well with a dry brush for good, even adhesion to bare skin. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
$15.00/0.05 oz. - $300.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be a cross between "vivid metallic and iridescent chameleon," so they have a stronger color base but a multichrome shift. The brand recommended applying over an eyeshadow primer and in a thin layer to "intensify the shift," though I did not personally find that primer necessarily impacted the shift as they were readily apparent used on their own.
They were richly pigmented with a soft, smooth consistency that was lightly emollient but not too thick or too densely-packed into the pan, so it was easy to pick up product with a dry brush as well as fingertips/dampened brushes if preferred. The eyeshadow applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well along the edges.
The vivid, more colored base helped make these easier to incorporate with other eyeshadows, too, so those who find multichromes daunting may like to start with this type of multichrome. They lasted between seven and eight hours on me before creasing visibly.

Ceres
Terra Moons Ceres Cosmic Chameleon Shadow ($13.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a very light blue base with gold to warmer gold shift. Per the brand, there was also supposed to be a shift to lavender and a hint of green, but I found that lavender was very, very subtle and harder to tell, even in person, and the green even more so.
The texture was smooth, lightly emollient without being overly thick, which helped it apply evenly to bare skin and still have full color payoff in one layer. There were signs of fading present after eight hours of wear.

Supernova
Terra Moons Supernova Cosmic Chameleon Shadow ($13.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a medium blue base with shimmer that shifted between yellowy-gold to peachy-gold paired with a metallic finish. The eyeshadow had rich color payoff in a single pass, which adhered well to bare skin with a smooth, even lay down of product.
It had a soft, smooth, and blendable texture that wasn’t too thick or too firmly-pressed, but it wasn’t powdery nor was it prone to fallout. This shade lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

These are stunning blue shades – not in your face, but beautifully shimmery shades. I think I like Artemis and Supernova the best.
I’ve got a tough call to make here. Artemis vs Supernova. Both look amazing, and pull colors from my irises. I think Artemis does it more so.
And Ceres is amazeballs! It makes me think of a star.
All of these are stunning. Ceres would be a beautiful inner corner highlight.
