Glaminatrix Gleam, Bonnet, Truffle, Sparks Fly, Temptation Foiled Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches

Gleam

Glaminatrix Gleam Duochrome Eyeshadow ($13.21 for 0.06 oz.) has a medium-dark pink base with multichromatic shimmer that shifted from gold to chartreuse to pink. The finish was more sparkly, and the more loosely-pressed texture made it more prone to light fallout during the initial application, but the formula seemed to have a good amount of slip and binder so that fallout during application wasn’t an issue. The pigmentation was mostly opaque and buildable, and it wore well for eight hours on me before fading visibly.

Bonnet

Glaminatrix Bonnet Duochrome Eyeshadow ($8.77 for 0.06 oz.) has a light-medium cooler lavender base with gold shimmer and micro-sparkle throughout. It had mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin and wasn’t prone to fallout.

The texture was lightly emollient, though more loosely-pressed so I’d recommend using a lighter hand when initially working with it. This shade stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Truffle

Glaminatrix Truffle Foiled Eyeshadow ($8.04 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium-dark brown with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had opaque color payoff paired with a soft, lightly creamy texture that was dense without being too firmly-pressed into the pan nor too thick, so it sat flatteringly on bare skin. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.
