Green (Deep) (2021)

Sydney Grace Green (Deep) (2021) Mystery Bag (2021) ($30.00) includes five new eyeshadows and one new highlighter across all variations of the Deep bags, along with two to three additional products, which may vary between bags (my bag included Comforting Light, a loose pigment that’s part of the permanent range, and Footprints, another new eyeshadow).

The pressed eyeshadows and highlighter were excellent–pigmented, blendable, long-wearing and had beautiful textures. The loose pigment I’ve previously reviewed, and it seemed consistent with that as far as pigmentation/texture went.

The following shades are in both the Light and Deep variations of the Green bags: Mint Chocolate Chip, Emerald Eyes, Kiss Me I’m Irish, Rainforest.

Emerald Eyes

Emerald Eyes is a blackened green with cooler undertones and a smooth, metallic sheen. It was richly pigmented with a moderately dense, lightly creamy texture that wasn’t too dense or too firmly-pressed into the pan. It wore well for nine hours before fading visibly.

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).

Kiss Me I’m Irish

Kiss Me I’m Irish is a medium green with warm, slightly more olive undertones and a matte finish. The texture was soft, a smidgen powdery in the pan, but it was blendable without losing its full color payoff when applied to bare skin. It lasted nicely for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

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.

Mint Chocolate Chip

Mint Chocolate Chip is a bright, sage green with more of a golden, metallic sheen. The eyeshadow had opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly to bare skin and blended out beautifully along the edges. The texture was almost like a cream eyeshadow it was so smooth and emollient, but it wore well for eight and a half hours before showing signs of wear.

Footprints

Footprints is a medium orange with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage that was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer. The texture was soft, smooth, and blendable with a touch of powderiness in the pan but not enough to impact application. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading a bit.

Comforting Light

Comforting Light has a warm, reddish-plum base with green-to-gold shifting sparkle and shimmer. The loose pigment was fairly finely-milled and had good adhesion to bare skin as there seemed to be a good amount of binder in it that gave it nice slip. There was a touch of fallout during application if I wasn’t careful to initially press/pat the product into place. It had opaque color coverage in a single layer and lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview

$6.00/0.14 oz. – $42.86 Per Ounce

It’s designed to be worn alone, though the brand recommends a “mixing medium or a glitter glue” to avoid fallout. The loose consistency was denser and more weighed down, which made it less messy to work with than some more finely-milled (but very powdery) loose eyeshadow formulas available. They were very pigmented without much product, and they had similar coverage applied dry as well as wet.

The wet application typically yielded smoother, more metallic finishes and less fallout compared to dry application. Dry application required a bit more finesse as the product applied best by patting and pressing it on and then gently smoothing it into place, otherwise it had some fallout during application. A few shades that were more sparkly looked a bit chunkier applied to my skin when I used it dry (but were smoother and more forgiving when used wet). They lasted between seven and eight hours on me before creasing.

Sequoia

Sequoia is a rich, golden copper with strong, warm undertones and an intense, metallic finish. It was richly pigmented where a little went a long way, so you’ll want to use a very light hand to get more buildable coverage. The texture was smooth, almost cream-like as it was dense without being too thick or too firmly-pressed into the pan. It applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well, though it emphasized my skin’s natural texture slightly at higher coverage. It wore well for nine hours before fading noticeably.

$9.00/0.25 oz. – $36.00 Per Ounce

The highlighters are supposed to be “smooth and pigmented” that “blend like a dream” and “last all day long.” The majority of the shades in the range are incredibly pigmented with a creaminess to the texture that makes them a cinch to apply and blend out on my skin.

I was most impressed by how soft, almost cream-like the powders were, yet they weren’t too loosely-pressed nor were they prone to powderiness. Some of the finishes are very metallic or frosted, so when worn at semi-opaque or higher coverage levels, they can emphasize my skin’s natural texture slightly. They have worn between eight and nine hours on me.
