There has been a heat wave in Germany and other parts of Western Europe, so I have admittedly had very little motivation to do makeup testing while cooped up at home with no AC with back-to-back days of 90-101 degree weather. Plus, there have been family matters to deal with.

Instead of skipping this week’s post, I decided to at least show the swatches and eye looks of this palette. I am in love with the color story. It’s the purple-green palette of my dreams! The depths of the shades, tones of colors, saturation level, and pigmentation are all just how I like.

I believe this is Singe’s first eyeshadow palette that is talc-free. I haven’t used this palette that much yet, but I’ve been happy with the performance. These swatch amazingly and the shimmers are great. They don’t crease on me or fade. I don’t even need to apply the shimmers damp, except the ones that I want to stick to a smaller area and not have too much of a scattered look.
The mattes are pigmented, but only so much adheres to my eye area with the Lisa Eldridge Liquid Silk Canvas as a base. So, it looks like I can build up the mattes, but a lot of it gets knocked back off my eyes. Essentially, some of the deepest smokiest shades can look less intense on me because of this. It ends up being a soft type of smokey, which works out because that has been my style lately. Ironically, Entrance and Secret build up quite well! I sometimes have issues with yellows and the white type of shades from Singe (and even Angie’s Odens Eye collabs) have always given me trouble in the past from either not adhering as well or being too sheer. So, I’m happy that wasn’t an issue this time.

Huldra is the star shade in this palette. It doesn’t look as shifty in my eye demo photos, but in person, it’s very easy to tell that it’s a multichrome.

I’ve been spoiled by my high end and luxury eyeshadows that are super quick to blend. By comparison, the mattes take some extra time, but I think it’s still a reasonable amount of blending considering the pigment level. I’ve used mattes from other indie brands that were harder to blend than this.

That’s all I am able to say based on the short amount of time I’ve spent using this palette.

Thanks for reading!
