Sydney Grace Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches (“A Cool, Smoky Gray Look”)
Bailey's Bliss
Sydney Grace Bailey’s Bliss Pressed Pigment Shadow ($6.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a bright, pale beige with warmer, yellow undertones and a metallic sheen. It seemed like a more subtle, shimmery shade in the pan, but it was much brighter/starker applied to my skin. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer that blended out easily. The texture was smooth to the touch, dense without being too firmly pressed in the pan. It lasted well for eight hours on me before fading slightly.

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).

Polished Silver
Sydney Grace Polished Silver Pressed Pigment Shadow ($6.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium-dark silver with neutral-to-warm undertones and a frosted finish. It had a chunkier consistency with larger particles of shimmer/sparkle, which I found required a bit more effort to press and even out on my lid for a smooth application of product. It had good pigmentation but had to be built up or applied wet for full coverage, and there was slight fallout during application. It stayed on well eight hours on me before I noticed signs of wear.

Moon Landing
Sydney Grace Moon Landing Matte Shadow ($5.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a pale taupe with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, velvety consistency that was almost cream-like as it was so finely-milled. There was a touch of powderiness in the pan but did not prove to be an issue during application as there wasn’t fallout or when I blended it out. This shade wore well for eight hours on me before I noticed any 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.

Slayed

The eyeshadow had opaque color payoff in a single layer, which adhered evenly and smoothly to bare skin. The consistency was lightly creamy, dense without being thick or too firmly pressed in the pan, and blendable along the edges. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before there was any noticeable fading.

Dusk
Sydney Grace Dusk Matte Shadow ($5.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a dark gray with cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. It performed and functioned largely as a matte finish in practice, but there were noticeable, very fine shimmers strewn throughout it. The consistency was soft, velvety, and blendable without being too powdery in the pan. The color payoff was opaque and stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading a touch.
