Nightfall
Terra Moons Nightfall Shimmer Eyeshadow ($6.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a medium blue with cooler undertones and a frosted finish. The texture was thicker and almost chunky, which made it harder to apply in an even layer on my skin. I’d recommend using a dampened brush or a fingertip when working with this shade, which also helped to minimize fallout. It lasted decently for seven and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
$6.00/0.05 oz. – $120.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be “blendable” and “pigmented” with “a bit of kick up” when used due to being “pressed by hand.” Some shades come with “additional information” such as being sheerer on the brand’s website (for that particular shade) or to use a “glitter primer” due to the finish.
I found that some matte shades were more noticeably powdery than others, but whether there was just a little bit of powderiness or more noticeable powderiness really depended on a shade. The neon shades were the most powdery and hardest to work with on their own; some had more specific tips/guidance on how to work with them, which I felt was great for disclosure, but it could get hard to remember what shade needs to be applied in such and such fashion since it really did vary a lot shade by shade. The darker and less neon matte shades tended to perform the best for me–more pigmentation, better blendability, and were easier to work with and were more consistent.
Most shades–matte and more shimmery–were pigmented, easy to blend, and applied well to bare skin. They lasted between seven and eight hours with most closer to eight hours before fading (more of the mattes) or creasing (some of the more intense metallics).

Cinnamon Sugar
Terra Moons Cinnamon Sugar Shimmer Eyeshadow ($6.00 for 0.05 oz.) has a medium-dark pink base that seemed barely warm-toned while the shimmer was green-gold in its shift, which made it appear warmer-toned overall. The finish was metallic but didn’t emphasize lid texture. The consistency was soft, smooth, and a smidgen powdery in the pan, but it adhered evenly and lasted nicely for eight hours on me.

Crushed Velvet
Terra Moons Crushed Velvet Shimmer Eyeshadow ($6.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a deep plum with a blackened base and a soft, pearly sheen. It had nearly opaque color coverage but had a tendency to lose its intensity when blended as the black base came through more noticeably.
The texture was soft, smooth, and lightly powdery with a thinner feel, which I found worked better over an eyeshadow primer (whereas most shades in the range were nice over bare skin). There was fading visible after seven and a half hours of wear.
