Viseart Amethyst #1 Eyeshadow

Amethyst #1

Amethyst #1 is a pale, muted pink with a matte finish. It had medium pigmentation, which was somewhat buildable to semi-opaque coverage, with a soft, lightly dusty texture (which made it prone to sheering out, and I suspect that was why I couldn’t get full coverage out of it). It seemed thinner than other Viseart mattes I’ve tried. This shade lasted for seven hours before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview

-

The eyeshadow formula is supposed to be "pigment[ed]" with "smooth and even application" that is "long-lasting." The matte shades are typically semi-opaque to opaque but buildable with soft, velvety textures that can sometimes be a little powdery or slightly firm, depending on the shade. I find that the mattes are often best suited to someone who likes control over pigmentation and may prefer to build up color; they regularly perform better in practice than just swatched on the arm as well.

The shimmer shades range from satin to metallic, and the more metallic shades tend to feel creamier to the touch, while the satin ones have a fine pearl to them that looks almost melted on the lid once blended out. Both the mattes and shimmers are blendable and easy to work with. Most of Viseart's eyeshadows wear between seven and nine hours on me.

Viseart Grenache Eyeshadow

Grenache

Amethyst #2 is a dusty, medium mauve with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-sheer pigmentation in one layer, though it was buildable to mostly opaque coverage with two to three layers (better over a primer). The consistency was drier and more loosely packed in the pan, and I found it messier to work with in the pan (a lot of excess powder kicked up, even when I used very soft brushes) and more prone to fallout on the lid as well. The color started to fade after seven hours of wear.

Viseart Mulberry (Amethyst #3) Eyeshadow

Mulberry (Amethyst #3)

Amethyst #3 is a medium-dark eggplant purple with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. The texture was drier, though it was not as loosely packed as the other shades, so it didn’t kickup as much powder in the pan when I used it. I also felt like it built up better and was easier to work with. This was a shade where it applied better in practice (on the lid) than just swatched, perhaps the smaller area or the more gradual building helped. It had medium coverage, which was buildable to opaque pigmentation with two to three layers. It wore well for eight hours before fading on me.

Viseart Pink Quartz (Amethyst #4) Eyeshadow

Pink Quartz (Amethyst #4)

Amethyst #4 is a soft pink with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It was richly pigmented and had a smooth, soft but not dusty texture. The eyeshadow was easy to apply to the lid and blend out without losing intensity or coverage. This shade lasted for eight and a half hours on me.

Viseart Sterling (Amethyst #5) Eyeshadow

Sterling (Amethyst #5)

Amethyst #5 is a medium-dark mauve with warm, brown undertones and a metallic sheen paired with a bit of sparkle. The eyeshadow seemed slightly looser in the press, so it was applied best by patting and pressing the eyeshadow onto the lid rather than sweeping. Once it was pressed into place, I had no issues blending out the edges. It had opaque, true-to-pan coverage that lasted nicely for eight hours on me.

Viseart Amethyst #6 Eyeshadow

Amethyst #6

Amethyst #6 is a medium-dark purple with subtle, cooler undertones and a metallic sheen. It had good pigmentation–just a smidgen shy of full coverage–that was easily bolstered to opaque coverage with a touch more product layered on top. The eyeshadow was slightly firmer in the pan but not difficult to use or blend out. This shade wore well for eight and a half hours before fading.
