Viseart Single Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches (Part 3 of 4)
Shoreline (Cool Mattes 2 #5)
Viseart Shoreline (Cool Mattes 2 #5) Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium taupe with subtle, neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a soft, blendable texture that was a little powdery in the pan but didn’t sheer out too readily on my skin, and I didn’t have issues with fallout. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading visibly.

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 Ghiradelli (Cool Mattes 2 #9) Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium-dark, taupe-brown with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good color coverage in a single layer, but it needed half of a layer or so to build up to full coverage (if desired). The texture was soft, a little powdery in the pan, but it had good adhesion and blended out nicely on my skin (without sheering out instantly). It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before it showed signs of fading.

Sterling (Amethyst #5)
Viseart Sterling (Amethyst #5) Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a light, rosy mauve with warmer undertones and a metallic finish. It had opaque color coverage, but it seemed to have more reflective qualities and was also lighter than the original version (in the Amethyst palette); there was a noticeable difference in person, but the difference seems even greater in photos (hence why I think some of it is reflection of light in particular making it appear even lighter and brighter!). The consistency was smooth to the touch, thin without being too thin, and blendable but did feel less cream-like compared to the original. It lasted for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Now that was a little scary…when one has so many neutral palettes and even singles that they have dupes of every shade! ?
The upside? I can now keep using Sterling aka Amethyst #5 with wild abandon!
Me: oooh that Platinum Cashmere is pretty, I wonder if I have any dupes.
Me five seconds later: ….I already have the Cashmere palette.
Welp! I know what I like I guess!
Sterling and Platinum are my favourite shades, but they are all good.
Is sand really that color? I don’t think sand is that color. 🙂
