Zoeva Cocoa Blend Eyeshadow Palette ($21.50 / €17.50 for 0.50 oz.) features ten eyeshadows in various warm-toned hues ranging from beige to plum to copper. Zoeva is a German brand, though they ship worldwide (but U.S. readers, there’s a $16 flat rate shipping fee) — the brand caught my eye with those rose gold brush sets they have, and a friend shared swatches of another one of their palettes (not this one) that made me particularly curious to try the brand when they sent their newest palette for possible review. The palette has a good mix of finishes, so you can play with shimmers or add depth with more matte shades. Most of the eyeshadows had good color payoff and were blendable on bare skin with good longevity (seven to nine hours). There were a few of shades that could have been better in texture (one was too soft and a little crumbly, two were firmer). The palette’s biggest downfall is that it is dupable, which is also an upside if you’ve been looking for dupes of higher-end warm-toned eyeshadows.

If you’ve tried Zoeva before, do let me know what you think I should try and add to my ever-growing order! I definitely want to try out some of their other palettes after trying this one.

Bitter Start is a light beige with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had semi-opaque coverage with a soft, silky texture that was blendable on the skin without looking chalky. It lasted for seven and a half hours on me. By no means unique, this is a fairly typical beige, so there are plenty of dupes for this one! MAC Vanilla (P, $16.00) is brighter.

Sweeter End is a heavily gold-shimmered peach with a hint of pink. The texture was so soft that it was powdery, almost crumbly, so I would recommend applying it in sheerer layers or with a flatter, firm synthetic brush, which will give you more control. It’s quite pigmented, and in practice, after tapping off the excess, it was fairly easy to work with. The color started to fade after eight hours of wear. MAC Naked Lunch (P, $16.00) is less shimmery, lighter, brighter. Too Faced Cheers! (LE, $16.00) is less shimmery. MAC Jest (P, $16.00) is less shimmery, brighter.

Warm Notes is a rich, brightened cranberry red with warm, copper brown undertones and a metallic finish. It was intensely pigmented with a really dense, almost thick-feeling, consistency that adhered well to the skin (lasted for nine hours!). Use less than you’d think, as over-application can cause it to thicken a little on the lid. MAC Cranberry (P, $16.00) is less shimmery, darker. Inglot #452 (P, $6.00) is less shimmery, darker. NARS Desdemona (P, $29.00) is less shimmery, more muted, cooler. Make Up For Ever D826 Fig (P, $21.00) is darker, cooler. Urban Decay Alchemy (LE, $18.00) is brighter, cooler.

Subtle Blend is a medium-dark, golden bronze brown with warm, yellow undertones and a pearly sheen. It was intensely pigmented with a soft, smooth, buttery consistency that was so easy to apply and blend out on the skin. This shade wore well for eight and a half hours before creasing slightly. MAC A Harvest of Greens #2 (P, $21.00) is less shimmery, more muted, less pigmented. LORAC Nude #6 (LE, ) is less shimmery. Make Up For Ever ME644 Iced Brown (P, $21.00) is less shimmery.

Beans are White is a blackened brown with neutral-to-cool undertones and a mostly matte finish. This was the biggest miss in the palette, as it had a much firmer press and was harder to get color payoff out of it. I also found it harder to blend on bare skin, but if you use primer, it will be less noticeable. It lasted for eight hours before fading. Inglot #329 (P, $6.00) is lighter, warmer. MAC Dance in the Dark (LE, $16.00) is darker. MAC Midnight Flurry (LE, $16.00) is darker. NARS Coconut Grove (P, $24.00) is warmer. theBalm Matt Ramirez (LE, $16.00) is warmer. bareMinerals Boardroom (LE, ) is warmer. Tom Ford Beauty She Wolf #1 (LE, ) is warmer. Charlotte Tilbury The Rock Chick #4 (P, ) is lighter. Laura Mercier Espresso (LE, $23.00) is brighter, warmer. LORAC Espresso (Mega Pro) (LE, ) is more muted.

Pure Ganache is a light-medium, golden copper with warm, orange undertones and a metallic sheen. It had fantastic color payoff with a really smooth, soft-to-the-touch feel that translated to easy-to-apply, blendable color on the skin. This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours. Sleek MakeUP Sunset #10 (P, $9.99) is lighter. MAC Exquisite Ego #2 (LE, $21.00) is more shimmery, lighter. theBalm #21 (P, $6.50) is less shimmery, lighter.

Substitute for Love is a medium-dark, orange-brown with a mostly matte finish and a dusting of what appears to be gold shimmer that really seems to be invisible whether swatched on the arm or applied to the eye. The texture was soft, silky, and blendable without being powdery on the skin. It wore well for eight hours on me. bareMinerals Fire (P, ) is more shimmery. MAC Saddle (P, $16.00) is darker, warmer. Inglot #122R Middle (P, $6.00) is brighter. Wet ‘n’ Wild To Muse and Carouse #2 (LE, $2.29) is darker. Makeup Geek Creme Brulee (P, $5.99) is lighter, more muted.

Anastasia Caramel (P, $12.00) is lighter. Too Faced Peanut Butter (P, $16.00) is lighter. Urban Decay Riff (P, $18.00) is lighter. Sephora + Pantone Universe Chutney (LE, ) is brighter.

Freshly Toasted is a muted, medium-dark reddish brown with warm, orange-red undertones and a matte finish. It had fairly good pigmentation with a soft, silky texture that was a smidgen on the powdery side, but it was very blendable on the skin and still adhered well to bare lids evenly. It started to fade after eight hours of wear. MAC Brown Script (P, $16.00) is darker, warmer. MAC Soft Brown (P, $16.00) is lighter, warmer. Sleek MakeUP Propose in Prague (LE, $9.99) is lighter.

Sephora + Pantone Universe Hot Chocolate (LE, ) is lighter, brighter. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.

Infusion is a blackened brown with subtle, warm undertones and a golden satin finish. There were little bits of gold shimmer that were visible on the lid (they weren’t quite large enough to be sparkles, so I think that’s why they combined better). The texture was a little firm in the pan, but it wasn’t too difficult to blend on the lid. MAC Rising Passions (LE, $16.00) is more shimmery, lighter. MAC Night Whisper (LE, $16.00) is less shimmery. MAC Amberluxe #5 (P, ) is more shimmery, lighter. MAC Pepper, Please (P, $16.00) is less shimmery. Anastasia Black Diamond (P, $12.00) is darker. MAC Well Put Together (LE, $16.00) is warmer. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.

Anastasia Custom (P, $12.00) is warmer. Make Up For Ever I544 Pink Granite (P, $21.00) is lighter, more muted. Illamasqua Mystify (P, ) is less shimmery, darker.
