Green Goblin
Terra Moons Green Goblin Shimmer Eyeshadow ($6.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a deep teal with subtle, cooler undertones and a metallic sheen. The texture was slightly thicker and not quite as emollient as other shades in the range, but it was still a very good eyeshadow… just didn’t quite reach the highest highs that most of the shimmers did in this formula! It had opaque pigmentation that lasted nicely for eight hours before fading visibly.

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).

Illusion
Terra Moons Illusion Shimmer Eyeshadow ($6.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a medium, reddish-brown base with duochrome shimmer that shifted from blue to green. The texture was more emollient with a looser press, so I had to be careful to use a softer touch when picking up product to avoid fallout or excess kicked up in the pan.
It had nearly opaque color payoff that had good adhesion to bare skin and blended out well along the edges. There were signs of fading present after eight hours of wear.
