Formula Overview
$6.00/0.05 oz. - $120.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "blendable" and "pigmented" with "a bit of kick up" when used due to being "pressed by hand." Some shades come with "additional information" such as being sheerer on the brand's website (for that particular shade) or to use a "glitter primer" due to the finish.
I found that some matte shades were more noticeably powdery than others, but whether there was just a little bit of powderiness or more noticeable powderiness really depended on a shade. The neon shades were the most powdery and hardest to work with on their own; some had more specific tips/guidance on how to work with them, which I felt was great for disclosure, but it could get hard to remember what shade needs to be applied in such and such fashion since it really did vary a lot shade by shade.
The darker and less neon matte shades tended to perform the best for me--more pigmentation, better blendability, and were easier to work with and were more consistent.
Most shades--matte and more shimmery--were pigmented, easy to blend, and applied well to bare skin. They lasted between seven and eight hours with most closer to eight hours before fading (more of the mattes) or creasing (some of the more intense metallics).

A lovely, colourful array of shades here – I though Rigel was quite an interesting, muted shade of purple and Mocha Twilight a perfect neutral dark brown shade.
These are beautiful! Terra Moons’ blues and greys really appeal to me
All of these are splendid looking and solid performing eyeshadows!
My favorite ones are: Rigal, Moonshine, and Deimos. These are ones that I may buy, yet I have nothing bad to say concerning the remainder!
I absolutely love Rigel and Cardinal. I wonder if I, an unskilled, only-does-makeup-twice-a-month-if-that person, could pull off creating a look that combines them both. 🤔
Four of these went to the WL. Phobus, Rigel, Mocha Twilight and Moonshine. I can easily see the two matte ones working well with all the grey eyeshadows I own, as would Moonshine. As for Mocha Twilight, it’s just so gorgeous and not a hard colour to pair with just about anything,
Moonshine looks divine – oh, that rhymes!!
A look with Rigel and Moonshine! Yes!!! Just those two would work.
