Formula Overview

-

The majority of the brand's eyeshadows are quite pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing. The eyeshadows have improved over time, particularly with respect to longevity (without a primer). The original formula often creased on me within seven to eight hours, whereas the more current formula wears eight to nine hours with fading (instead of full-on creasing). The more matte finishes tend to be a bit more velvety, substantial, and less dry/powdery compared to prior iterations.

The metallic finish is often the creamiest, slightly denser in feel, but has excellent pigmentation, adhesion, and blendability. The sparkling shades can have some fallout, depending on how they're applied and how sparkly they are, so they sometimes work better with fingertips or a dampened brush; they can also run sheerer compared to other finishes.

Cream-Powders are the more unique formulation and tend to have firmer, almost stiff, consistencies and more semi-opaque, watercolor-esque coverage. They are longer-wearing, but they can take a few uses to learn how to use. This formula has also improved compared to when it first debuted--it is a bit more yielding now.

Formula Overview

$30.00/0.17 oz. - $176.47 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "sheer" coverage with a "dewy finish." Sheer coverage was accurate, as the shades were quite emollient, lightly tacky but smooth, and sheered out as they were applied. If you're someone who wants to be able to build up your cream blush, you may find this lacking--you may be able to get semi-sheer coverage by just barely diffusing the edges, but it will feel and look quite dewy and be more prone to sliding around while worn.

Despite being a very emollient formula, it didn't seem to lift up my base products as much, including higher coverage, more satin to semi-matte ones. Due to just how slippery it was, I preferred a brush over fingertips to ensure a more even and precise application.

The main trouble I had with this formula was that--as one might have guessed--the longevity was lacking due to all that dewiness and emollience. It had a tendency to break down any products worn under it, so even if layered on top of another blush, it had limited longevity (often halving the powder blush itself). When set with powder, it added a couple of hours but may take some troubleshooting to find the right loose/pressed powder that combines well.

On their own, they lasted three to four hours before sliding/migrating noticeably. Since they are quite sheer, the sliding is less apparent than some formulas might be, especially to someone not looking at it.

Formula Overview

$28.00/0.13 oz. - $215.38 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "pigment-rich" and have a "soft-matte finish" that "lasts" and "doesn't crack or flake." The consistency was more of an airy, mousse consistency--not like a tradition liquid lipstick but thicker (physically) while maintaining its more lightweight feel applied.

Some shades were fully opaque in one layer, while others were more medium to semi-opaque in coverage and could be built up to full opacity with a second layer. Similarly, I experienced some shades that were more of a soft matte finish from the get-go while abouut half required blotting or about an hour of wear before they wore down to a soft matte finish.

The darker and richer shades tended to look the best applied, as the lighter shades were more prone to emphasizing lip texture, settling noticeably into lip lines, and the like.

Most shades lasted four to six hours on me with the darker/richer shades (like reds) lasting longer than others, but the formula was non-drying rather than noticeably hydrating over time. They did not wear down as evenly as ideal, though, as they tended to settle into lip lines over time.

$29.00/0.24 oz. - $120.83 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "soft, buildable color" with a "dewy, luminous finish" that has a "lightweight, non-sticky feel." The consistency was lightweight, lightly creamy--balmy with good spreadability and not overly emollient; definitely not sticky either. The pigmentation was sheer to semi-sheer, somewhat buildable, but if you're looking for a more medium to semi-opaque level of pigmentation, these might leave you wanting.

All of the shades I tested applied evenly on both bare skin as well as on top of foundation, as they were not prone to lifting base products. They never dried down and had a moderately dewy sheen that still had decent longevity. Most shades lasted around seven hours on me before fading, but they didn't seem to visibly slide around over time.

Formula Overview

$25.00/0.04 oz. - $625.00 Per Ounce

Pat McGrath's eyeshadows are, generally, supposed to be "super-saturated" with "creamy, soft textures" and "extreme blendability and adherence without creasing." A lot of how well they perform (and to some degree, how they are supposed to be applied and marketed) depends on the type of shades, but by and large, the eyeshadows perform very much as they are described.

The brand released single eyeshadows in March 2019, and the shades have been consistent in quality, look, and feel. They are not removable, unfortunately, so one would have to depot like any other single eyeshadow--I tried using tweezers and lifting on several shades to no avail. The lids are held closed by a weak magnet, so I'm not sure they're as secure as most single eyeshadow compacts in my stash--I wish it really locked in, but there's definitely a magnet that pulls the lid down if it's within 2mm of the base.

The mattes are velvety, blendable, and dense without being thick or too heavy, and they have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation where a little can go a long way with some of the deeper and richer hues. The satin and pearl finishes are smooth, lightly creamy, and firmer but not dense or thick with good pigmentation, blendability, and easy application. The more metallic finishes tend to be softer, creamy, and smooth with a bit more denseness and no powderiness. The sparkly/glittery shades are often designed to be applied wet for richer coverage or intensity, which has largely been my experience. Most of the shades last between eight and nine hours.

Formula Overview

$25.00/0.04 oz. - $625.00 Per Ounce

Pat McGrath's eyeshadows are, generally, supposed to be "super-saturated" with "creamy, soft textures" and "extreme blendability and adherence without creasing." A lot of how well they perform (and to some degree, how they are supposed to be applied and marketed) depends on the type of shades, but by and large, the eyeshadows perform very much as they are described.

The brand released single eyeshadows in March 2019, and the shades have been consistent in quality, look, and feel. They are not removable, unfortunately, so one would have to depot like any other single eyeshadow--I tried using tweezers and lifting on several shades to no avail.

Formula Overview

$25.00/0.11 oz. - $227.27 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "buildable coverage from sheer to medium" with a "gliding balmy application" that keeps lips soft. It has a stiffer, balm-like feel; and I say stiff without being a negative, just that while there's a lightly emollient, moderately shiny finish that one might associate with a lip balm, it had more substance to it and adhered well to lips without feeling like the product melted instantly on the lips.

The coverage ranged from sheer to semi-sheer and was buildable to medium coverage, as marketed, which was nice to see. Despite the sheerness and the shinier finish, most shades applied evenly without settling into lip lines and were fairly forgiving of lip texture/imperfections. The formula was moderately hydrating, comfortable to wear, and most shades lasted three to four hours on me.
