Sydney Grace Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches (An Assortment, Part 1)
Coral Reef
Sydney Grace Coral Reef Pressed Pigment Shadow ($6.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a bright, medium orange with a pearly, pink shift. It had opaque pigmentation but it was denser and somewhat stiff in the pan, so it had to be used with a firmer hand–I preferred a synthetic brush and pushing against the surface. It blended out better than anticipated on my skin, though it wasn’t as blendable as the majority of the brand’s shimmer shades have been. It stayed on well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

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).

Princess
Sydney Grace Princess Matte Shadow ($5.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium-dark, slightly muted red with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had rich pigmentation that adhered well to bare skin with a smooth, even application. The eyeshadow had a soft, velvety consistency that blended out easily but did not lose its intensity. This shade lasted well for eight and a half hours before I noticed fading.

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.

Regal
Sydney Grace Regal Matte Shadow ($5.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium lavender with cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The texture was soft, blendable, and not too firmly nor too softly pressed in the pan, which made it easy to work with. It wore well for eight hours before fading slightly.

Redeemed
Sydney Grace Redeemed Matte Shadow ($5.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium-dark purple with soft, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was drier and difficult to apply evenly to my skin, as it looked patchy, didn’t build up too well, and had fallout as I tried to build up the coverage. It had more medium pigmentation, which improved to semi-opaque coverage (and was at least workable in terms of blendability) over an eyeshadow primer. It stayed on well for seven hours on me before fading noticeably.

Predictable
Sydney Grace Predictable Matte Shadow ($5.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a soft, medium lavender with warm, pink undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had a thinner consistency that felt drier to the touch, which seemed to result in more medium coverage that was somewhat buildable but difficult to get full coverage out of it. It blended out without too much effort but was still a let-down. This shade lasted well for seven and a half hours on me before fading a bit.

Berry Fizz
Sydney Grace Berry Fizz Matte Shadow ($5.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a muted, brick red with warm undertones and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, velvety consistency that had a smidgen of powderiness in the pan but wasn’t prone to fallout. I found it so pigmented that I highly recommend using a lighter hand with this shade to ensure it doesn’t take over one’s look! It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading slightly.

Haystack
Sydney Grace Haystack Matte Shadow ($5.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a darker mustard with warm, yellowy-brown undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation with a soft, lightly powdery consistency that had a little bit of excess product that kicked up in the pan. It blended out nicely along the edges but did seem to darken slightly on my skin, even to a small degree over primer. It stayed on nicely for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.
