The Ultrasuede Brownish Pigment was my favorite detail out of the kit. It'due south a shimmery neutral bronze eyeshadow in a pressed format. It wasn't glittery and was moderately pigmented. I had no issues with it's lasting capabilities. Over primer it wore well for a mean solar day. It was smooth and applied evenly.

The Pigment in Astral White is a shimmery irised white beige that has a bluish teal shift. This is consequentially glittery. The glitter was likewise much for me for a twenty-four hours look. I tin run into this working well for night or if you love glitter. If you lot don't similar glitter this shade is not for you lot. This has a slightly thicker chunkier texture to it.

The Pigment in Mercury is a shimmery calorie-free taupe khaki gold. Information technology's neutral to cool in tone. This one is very shimmery and has a hint of very fine glitter, but it'due south much less than Astral White. Information technology's sheer in coverage. You tin can layer it over Ultrasuede Brown for an intensified sparkle and it brightens the middle. The texture of this one is thinner and more shine than Astral White.

The Pigment in Dark Matter is a soft black thin textured powder with a very tiny hint of sheen. It's polish and applies medium to sheer, yous need to build upward the intensity.

The Heart Gloss in Cyber is a clear sticky gloss with a blueish teal glitter sparkle to it. It's fun for an issue, but too glittery and sticky for me to use on my optics for an everyday look. This is the art and special occasion simply function of the kit.

The Black Smudgeliner Eye Khol is a thick black pencil. It'south really smooth and applies really well. It'due south blends like a dream to smudge easily. Then it sets like iron. It'due south pretty pigmented only can be smudged out softly.

The Blender Brush is a synthetic fluffy medium sized brush. Its very much the same size as the MAC 217 and Hakuhodo J5523 just constructed. Information technology'south OK. I practical the products with my preferred brushes versus this i.

Overall I find my opinions virtually this kit like to other Pat McGrath Labs releases. Same inexpensive packaging at a loftier retail cost, $130 for this kit. It contains a bunch of items that crave lots of fourth dimension to apply, precision and gives a look that's very artistic but not really suitable for an everyday await. It'due south very Instagram in it's style, non for the average working person unless yous but want to use a few items out of the kit that are more subtle. If the items were sold separately and non as a kit I would exist happy to grab ane or ii items, like Ultrasuede Brown, and keep as items I can apply a lot.

I would love to exist able to cherry pick the items I can use versus having to buy them all. In that location are just also many items in her kits that I can't employ on a daily or weekly footing. They're more special occasion items. I think afterwards this kit I'm washed with grabbing the Pat McGrath Labs kits. I loved the highlighter i but the concluding few have been so over the height in their effect I but can't use them on a daily basis to wear to work. I can see why some volition honey the kits, they're fun but only non for me.
