Sydney Grace Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches (“A Smoky, Faded Look”)
Marine Waters
Sydney Grace Marine Waters Pressed Pigment Shadow ($6.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a brighter, pop of light blue-leaning teal with a frosted sheen. The texture was denser and a little thicker, which made it harder to apply evenly with a dry brush (fingertips or a dampened brush achieved more even, richer coverage faster). It had good pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer on top (or used with a dampened brush). It stayed on well for eight hours on me before creasing very 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).

Eastern Rise
Sydney Grace Eastern Rise Matte Shadow ($5.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium brown with cool, rosy undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color coverage with a soft, slightly dusty texture that felt drier to the touch but applied evenly and blended out easily along the edges without sheering out. It didn’t appear dry on my skin, and there was a smidgen of fallout during application while I blended it out. This shade wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably on my lid.

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.

Concrete Road
Sydney Grace Concrete Road Matte Shadow ($5.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium, purple-leaning taupe with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had good color coverage that was buildable to opaque coverage with two layers. The texture was dustier, a little thinner, but I didn’t have any issues blending it out, and there was, surprisingly, very minimal fallout when working with it. The eyeshadow stayed on well for seven and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Peace
Sydney Grace Peace Pressed Pigment Shadow ($6.00 for 0.06 oz.) is medium, plummy bronze with warm undertones and a bright, metallic sheen. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that was dense without being too stiff or too thick in consistency. This shade applied well to bare skin and blended otu effortlessly. It wore beautifully for eight and a half hours before I noticed faint creasing.
