Play It Jewel

Crystalline

Crystalline is a pale gold with warmer undertones and a frosted finish. The texture felt a little drier and more loosely-pressed into the pan, which resulted in some fallout during application and a tendency for the product to sheer out to more medium coverage from mostly opaque initially. It wore nicely for seven hours before fading a bit.

Rocker

Rocker is a medium, yellowy-peach with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color payoff paired with a soft, blendable texture that was somewhat powdery but not too prone to sheering out. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Luster

Luster is a bright, light-medium copper with warmer undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The eyeshadow felt almost cream-like as it was dense, emollient, and smooth but managed to apply beautifully to bare skin with only a touch of fallout as it was so pigmented. It lasted well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Agate You

Agate You is a bright, light coral-orange with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was soft, lightly powdery with a velvety feel, which helped it keep its opacity when applied to bare skin. It wore well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Reflect On

Reflect On is a medium gold with warmer undertones and a metallic sheen. It had medium pigmentation in a single pass, which was only buildable if applied with a dampened brush. The consistency was moderately powdery, drier, and just felt quite loosely-pressed. It stayed on decently for seven hours.

Graded

Graded is a light brown with warmer undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was somewhat powdery, but it maintained its opacity when applied to bare skin and blended out. There were signs of fading visible after eight hours of wear.

Optical

Optical is a bright, medium-dark orange-gold with strong, warm undertones and a frosted finish. The eyeshadow was more loosely-pressed in the pan, which resulted in light fallout and some powderiness that made the shimmer less seamless on bare skin. It had opaque pigmentation that wore nicely for eight hours before fading visibly.

Sparkle

Sparkle is a bright, chartreuse green with warmer undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The pigmentation was opaque in a single layer where a little went a long way as the texture was lightly creamy, denser, and smooth. I’d recommend using a lighter hand when picking up product initially to avoid light fallout. This shade stayed on well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Purity

Purity is a light, rosy brown with muted, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was smooth, more velvety but still somewhat powdery, so take care to tap off excess product to avoid fallout. It had rich pigmentation that lasted well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Rare Earth

Rare Earth is a light, coral-red with warm undertones and a frosted finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage that adhered decently but had some fallout as the texture was drier and more loosely-pressed. It showed signs of fading after seven hours of wear.

Uncut

Uncut is a brighter, peachy orange with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in one layer, which was easily built up to full coverage with less than a second layer. The texture was slightly firmer compared to most of the brand’s mattes but definitely not stiff to work with. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading visibly.

So Polished

So Polished is a light-medium golden brown with warmer undertones and a pearl sheen. It had mostly opaque, buildable color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin. The texture was moderately dense, not too thick, and was yielding enough to be used with a dry brush. It wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Faceted

Faceted is a bright, lighter orange with strong, warm yellow undertones and a matte finish. The texture was soft, smooth, and blendable without being too powdery nor too firmly-pressed into the pan. It had opaque color coverage that lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Carats

Carats is a light, peachy brown with warm, orange undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque, buildable color payoff paired with a soft, somewhat powdery texture that blended out well and wasn’t prone to sheering out, though there was a smidgen of fallout if I wasn’t careful. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading a bit.

Fractal

Fractal is a light-medium, reddish-plum base with contrasting blue-to-violet shifting shimmer. It had opaque color coverage that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out well, as the consistency was smooth, lightly emollient but not too thick. It lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Treasure Box

Treasure Box is a medium-dark berry with subtle, cool undertones and a frosted finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation, but the texture was quite powdery and drier, which resulted in a fair amount of fallout during application. This shade showed signs of fading after seven hours of wear.

Mirror

Mirror is a bright, medium-dark copper with strong, warm orange undertones and a metallic finish. The consistency was smooth, almost cream-like, without being overly dense or too thick in the pan. It had opaque color payoff that stayed on well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Craft

Craft is a light-medium, yellowy brown with muted, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented with soft, lightly powdery texture that was blendable and not prone to fallout. It lasted well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Piece Out

Piece Out is a medium-dark brown with warmer, more orange-leaning undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well. The texture was soft, a little powdery but manageable as it had minimal fallout. This shade wore well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Crown

Crown is a medium-dark forest green with subtle, cool undertones and a frosted finish. The consistency was firmer, a little stiffer and more challenging to pick up evenly with a dry brush so I’d recommend using it with a dampened brush or fingertip for a more even application of product. It had mostly opaque coverage that stayed on decently for seven hours before fading visibly.

Tiara

Tiara is a medium blue with moderate, cool undertones and a frosted finish. The texture was more emollient and thicker, which resulted in a somewhat uneven, more semi-opaque laydown of product that did not build up. I’d recommend using it with a dampened brush, but it was never as blended as desired. It lasted decently for seven and a half hours on me.

Geode Life

Geode Life is a bright, medium-dark fuchsia pink with strong, cool blue undertones and a matte finish. It had rich color coverage that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out fairly well, though it was a slightly drier, thinner formula that wasn’t the easiest matte to work with. This shade showed signs of fading after eight and a half hours of wear and left a stain behind.

Moving Colours

Moving Colours is a bright, medium-dark red-copper with warm undertones and a pearly sheen with flecks of pink and gold micro-sparkle. It had mostly opaque color coverage, but the texture was more emollient, which resulted in a less even application of color that was hard to correct as it just wanted to slide around. This shade stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Relic

Relic is a rich, coppery brown with warmer undertones and a metallic finish. The eyeshadow had rich pigmentation paired with a soft, smooth consistency that was a smidgen powdery in the pan but had good adhesion to bare skin. It wore well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Bangle

Bangle is a rich, medium-dark orange with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was smooth, velvety, and blendable without being too powdery nor too firmly-pressed into the pan. It had opaque color coverage that lasted nicely for eight hours before fading visibly.

Wavelike

Wavelike is a medium-dark blue-teal with strong, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was somewhat buildable, but it was drier and thinner, which made it best applied over a primer to aid in blending and intensity. It stayed on decently for seven and a half hours before fading a bit.

Majesty

Majesty is a medium-dark purple with warmer, pink undertones and a pearly sheen. It had opaque color payoff paired with a slightly firmer, drier texture that picked up decently with a dry brush but was best applied with a dampened brush, which minimized fallout and yielded a more even laydown of product. It wore nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Surreal

Surreal is a deep berry with strong, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that adhered fairly evenly to bare skin but could have been a little more blendable as the texture was slightly drier and thinner overall. This shade lasted well for eight and a half hours but stained my lids after removal.

Mosaic

Mosaic is a deep red with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, velvety texture that wasn’t too powdery nor too firmly-pressed into the pan, which made it easier to control and blend out on bare skin. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit, though it left a stain after removal.

Finest

Finest is a medium-dark, richer brown with warm, red undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque, buildable color payoff that was paired with a slightly firmer consistency that seemed more prone to reacting to any natural oils in the skin, so it wasn’t as blendable as it could have been. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.
