In the Stars
In the Stars is a darker, pinky-beige with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had mostly opaque, buildable coverage that was lightly tacky, thin, and quick to dry down. It wasn’t the easiest to maneuver on the lid, so I preferred a fingertip as the warmth helped to keep it more manageable. It lasted for eight hours before creasing.

Formula Overview
$4.50/0.05 oz. – $90.00 Per Ounce
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing” and “adheres easily to the eyes.” Most of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applies well to bare skin, blends out without issue, and lasts for seven to eight hours.
The matte eyeshadows tend to be a little more powdery, though soft and finely-milled, in the pan, while the shimmers have a creamier, dense consistency. Occasionally, the more sparkly or metallic shades apply better with fingertips or a dampened brush.
