Sydney Grace Autumn’s Reign Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Autumn's Reign
Sydney Grace Autumn’s Reign Eyeshadow Palette ($52.00 for 0.95 oz.) is a new, permanent palette featuring a mix of mattes and shimmers across neutrals and various jewel-toned hues. Most of the eyeshadows were opaque, though a few were more semi-opaque (often buildable). The matte eyeshadows having a soft, velvety (lightly dusty to lightly powdery) consistency that applied well and blended out without much work. The shimmers had a creamier, denser consistency, but they weren’t too thick or heavy, so I was able to use them with brushes to achieve rich coverage and smooth application. They lasted between eight and eight and a half hours on me across the board.

Queen of the North
Queen of the North is a pale beige with warmer, yellowish undertones and a matte finish. It had rich pigmentation with a soft, lightly powdery texture that seemed more loosely pressed compared to other shades in the palette. There was a bit of fallout during application if I was not very careful with my placement. It stayed on well for eight hours before it started to fade to my eye.

Formula Overview
$5.00/0.06 oz. - $83.33 Per Ounce
The matte eyeshadows tend to be pigmented (typically semi-opaque or opaque, often buildable if they aren't opaque) with a soft, more velvety texture that has slight slip but isn't so thick that it gets difficult to use, applies unevenly, or has a lot of fallout. I've found that most of the matte eyeshadows apply and blend out without much effort but a few may take a bit more effort to diffuse along the edges. The matte formula tends to wear between eight and eight and a half hours on me.

Formula Overview
$6.00/0.06 oz. - $100.00 Per Ounce
The shimmer eyeshadows are more consistent in pigmentation with the majority of shades having opaque color coverage. The more metallic/sparkly the shade is, the creamier and more emollient the eyeshadow felt in the pan, which often yielded really smooth application and good adherence to the lid, though a few worked better with a fingertip or a dampened brush for true-to-pan color or to get a truer finish/sheen. Most shades, however, worked well with brushes, and I didn't have trouble applying or blending out most of the shimmer shades. The more satin to pearl like finishes tend to feel a little thinner but blend out well. These shades wore between eight and nine hours on me with some of the more foiled-like shades creasing noticeably at the end (and the less foiled-like ones fading).

Majestic Breeze
Majestic Breeze is a deep, blue-leaning teal with a mostly matte finish. There was a smattering of micro-shimmer in it, but it wasn’t noticeable to my eye in person. The texture was soft, velvety, and substantial enough to yield opaque pigmentation and not sheer out too easily. It blended out without too much effort and stayed on well for eight and a half hours

Formula Overview
$5.00/0.06 oz. - $83.33 Per Ounce
The matte eyeshadows tend to be pigmented (typically semi-opaque or opaque, often buildable if they aren't opaque) with a soft, more velvety texture that has slight slip but isn't so thick that it gets difficult to use, applies unevenly, or has a lot of fallout. I've found that most of the matte eyeshadows apply and blend out without much effort but a few may take a bit more effort to diffuse along the edges. The matte formula tends to wear between eight and eight and a half hours on me.

Countess
Countess is a light mauve with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had good color coverage that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out easily, though it was better with a primer underneath if full coverage was intended as it sheered out a bit on my bare lid. The texture was soft, a little powdery but did not have much fallout during application. The eyeshadow lasted well for eight hours on me before it started to show signs of wear.

Formula Overview
$5.00/0.06 oz. - $83.33 Per Ounce
The matte eyeshadows tend to be pigmented (typically semi-opaque or opaque, often buildable if they aren't opaque) with a soft, more velvety texture that has slight slip but isn't so thick that it gets difficult to use, applies unevenly, or has a lot of fallout. I've found that most of the matte eyeshadows apply and blend out without much effort but a few may take a bit more effort to diffuse along the edges. The matte formula tends to wear between eight and eight and a half hours on me.

Brilliant Realm
Brilliant Realm is a deep burgundy with cool undertones and a mostly matte finish. The pigmentation was good and easily built up to full coverage with less than half of a layer on top. The consistency was soft, lightly powdery in the pan, and blendable on my skin. It wore nicely for eight and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Sovereign Rain
Sovereign Rain is a deep purple with warmer undertones and a satiny sheen. The eyeshadow had rich color payoff that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out easily along the edges. The consistency was lightly creamy, dense and smooth to the touch, but it wasn’t too thick, so it sat well on my lid. It stayed on beautifully for eight and a half hours before creasing faintly.

Formula Overview
$6.00/0.06 oz. - $100.00 Per Ounce
The shimmer eyeshadows are more consistent in pigmentation with the majority of shades having opaque color coverage. The more metallic/sparkly the shade is, the creamier and more emollient the eyeshadow felt in the pan, which often yielded really smooth application and good adherence to the lid, though a few worked better with a fingertip or a dampened brush for true-to-pan color or to get a truer finish/sheen. Most shades, however, worked well with brushes, and I didn't have trouble applying or blending out most of the shimmer shades. The more satin to pearl like finishes tend to feel a little thinner but blend out well. These shades wore between eight and nine hours on me with some of the more foiled-like shades creasing noticeably at the end (and the less foiled-like ones fading).

Fallen Splendor
Fallen Splendor is a medium-dark green with warmer undertones and a metallic sheen. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, creamy consistency that was denser but not too thick or firmly-pressed in the pan, so it picked up well with a brush. The eyeshadow lasted well for eight and a half hours on me before I noticed faint creasing.
