Those do hold up easily, but I believe they’re not made for eyeryday life. I also realised that all youtubers and bloggers who raved about Pat McGrath Labs ALSO have a specific light setup to shoot, while I want an eyeshadow I can apply in the morning and wear the whole day. I realised that these shadows are designed to be used in artificial light. Give me Shale any day over Lilac Dust! But after my first attempts I realised that these are eyeshadows designed by a makeup artist, for runway shows. I own a travel palette with MAC’s Kid and Shale that I looked at and thought ‘they can do it better’. When I used the Mothership I for the first time, I went for a simple little taupe/neutral look and was incredibly disappointed.

GlittersĪnd never loose the little leaflet, because the eyeshadow names aren’t anywhere else. Astonishingly, there’s no fallout when I use them, and they’re easy to apply and blend. In artificial light, though, this (no pun intended) shines. In daylight, this is a disappointing look, no matter what, and I remember the bad old days of 1990s eyeshadow formulas. I also find that the shimmer particles are too big, and instead of that gorgeous shimmery eye you end up with a rather matte base with sprinkles of shimmer on top. Even with primer, it’s impossible for me to get a similarly smooth effect.įor me, the ratio of shimmer to base colour is wrong.

While on the smooth skin on my inner arm and wrist these twinkle alluringly, on the textured skin of my eyelids, they loose their magic. Rich and shimmery, my initial fingerswatches in the store were a dream. And it were these I was most disappointed about. I’ve to admit that I was most excited for the three shimmer shades in the palette: Skinshow Nude, Lilac Dust and Substance.
