Viseart Soleil Petit Pro Palette Review & Swatches
Soleil
Viseart Soleil Petit Pro Palette ($30.00 for 0.28 oz.) is new to the Petit Pro family with a mix of warmer neutrals with pops of bolder hues, like rich lavender, purple, and pinkky-reds. It felt less like a palette with a pop of color and more like one with a mix of more colorful hues and paired with neutrals to “ground” the scheme. I liked how this Petit Pro felt more versatile and varied, as there was a mix in depth, color, and finish across the eight shades. It launches March 1st exclusively at Beautylish!

Pastille
Pastille is a soft, peachy beige with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had a smooth, velvety texture that was denser without being too powdery, so it held its pigmentation better on bare skin and had only a little bit of fallout if I wasn’t careful. The color coverage was nearly opaque in a single layer and lasted well for eight hours on me 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.

Taffy
Taffy is a light-medium, pinky-red with warmer undertones and cooler violet and pink shimmer. It had good color payoff, and it seemed a little faded compared to the pan–just slightly. The texture was slightly dusty in the pan, though it didn’t seem to result in fallout during application. The eyeshadow applied best with pressing and patting motions, which yielded the most even, smoothest application. It blended out nicely along the edges, and I didn’t see any fading until after eight hours of wear.

Watermelon
Watermelon is a medium, pinky-red with subtle, cool undertones and faint, violet pearl. It was more shimmery than it appeared in the pan but not as shimmery as Taffy. The consistency was soft, smooth, and blendable without being too firmly nor too softly pressed in the pan. It had opaque pigmentation that lasted well for eight and a half hours, though it seemed to stain my skin slightly.

Pastis
Pastis is a bright, medium-dark yellow with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff that adhered evenly to my lid and blended out nicely, though it seemed to sheer out a bit but was able to be built back up. The color appeared a bit darker applied to my skin than it did in the pan. The texture felt firmer in the pan, and I had to use a bit of a heavier hand to pick up product evenly, though the color wasn’t difficult to use in practice. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before it started to fade on me.

Bonbon is a bright, medium pinky lavender with warm undertones and cooler blue-to-violet shifting sparkle and shimmer. It had good color coverage that was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer or applied with a dampened brush. The consistency was soft without being dusty, blendable, and easy to work with on bare skin. It stayed on well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Lavender
Lavender is a medium-dark purple with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had buildable color payoff from semi-opaque (one layer) to opaque (two layers), and while it didn’t feel as finely-milled or as soft as other Viseart mattes have, it was one of the smoother takes I’ve encountered in this family (the more vibrant purples and reds tend to be grainier). The eyeshadow applied evenly and diffused along the edge with slight effort; again, for this type of hue, quite nice, but compared to a soft brown, a little more effort was required. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading a bit, and there was very faint staining.

Marmalade
Marmalade is a medium coral with strong, warm copper sparkle and shimmer over a reddish-coral base. It had rich color coverage that adhered well to bare skin with a smooth, even application that looked “melted” against my skin after a couple of minutes. The texture was soft, a little dusty in the pan but wasn’t present during the application. This shade lasted nicely for eight and a half hours before I noticed any fading.

Soleil
Soleil is a medium gold with strong, warm undertones and a slight, metallic finish. The eyeshadow felt more loosely-pressed in the pan, which made it more prone to sheering out and felt on the drier side compared to other shades in the palette. It built up to opaque coverage with two layers (or if I went in with a dampened brush), and the color applied best by patting and pressing it on or else there was some fallout. It stayed on well for eight hours before I saw signs of fading.

What a look! Gorgeous! It looks like a really nice palette, but I will be skipping this. I have dupes and I find myself reaching for cool-tones now instead of warm tones.
It is just brilliant and crazy beautiful the eye look you were able to get out of this mini palette! Pure Arizona sunset vibes. SOLD!
I wasn’t expecting to like this one so much, but I do. The look you have created has a really great tropical vibe, but weirdly very wearable.
What a vibrant little palette! It’s a shame that the shade on which the palette is named was so average, but the rest of the colours were pretty good. Not for me, but I can see this being really popular over summer.
I really like this a lot but if I’m being honest with myself I just can’t imagine getting enough use out of it to make it worth it. It’s really fun though.
Your review seals the deal for me. I said yesterday that if this palette performs as well as Apricotine, I might abandon the idea of getting the new ABH palette in favor of Soleil. I love the colors. This palette as a whole is so cheerful, luminous and full of life! And I love the size. Yes, it is a small palette, but with this kind of vibrant shades, I don’t need a large palette. Thank you so much Christine!
This is such a gorgeous palette! Complete side note, but at .28 oz., it strikes me how it packs a punch for packaging that teeny. In comparison, standard ABH palettes are all also .28 oz. I adore ABH, it’s my dearly beloved, and absolute fave formula, but this is always that one thorn in my side. 🙁
Cute palette– and your look is gorgeous. They’re not my colors– but we haven’t seen this palette coming and going and those who can were them should find it fun.
Ordered this palette today and am excited to try it! Love your eye look with the palette, will you be breaking down each color you used? I look forward to that every time you do it. Thanks Christine!
Oops! Just found it! So excited to try this on my own ??♀️
I pre-ordered mine on Wednesday from Beautylish!
LOVE this! Love the colors and the yellow packaging! But I have dupes for all the colors, and most are depotable, so I’m going to make my own palette this time.
I feel excited about the color story! Though for me these are strong colors that I won’t wear every day — so for that I especially appreciate the compact size of the palette. Definitely one I’m interested in!
This just screams, “Summer!” I’m glad it reviewed well. Your eye look is gorgeous!
Hello,
Older post, but as I was checking it out during the sales (wish it was on sale), this is the only one that catches my eye. i’l going through a “look at old palettes you didn’t buy” moment and so this could join ND’s Lila (that I’m enjoying 😉 ).
