Floral Coral

Give Me Glow Floral Coral Matte Pressed Pigment ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a bright, medium pink-leaning coral with a matte finish. It had rich color payoff in a single layer, while the texture was soft, blendable, and not too firmly nor too softly pressed into the pan. This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview

$7.00/0.105 oz. – $66.67 Per Ounce

The brand offers matte and foiled finish eyeshadows, though the descriptions are largely the same: “highly pigmented,” “blendable,” and “finely milled.” The difference is with the foiled finish eyeshadows, the brand cautions to use less because they’re that pigmented and going in with a heavier hand could cause flaking.

The matte eyeshadows are very pigmented with textures that ranged from soft, velvety, and blendable to soft, more substantial but not as silky or as finely-milled that had true-to-pan pigmentation but were not as blendable. The deeper shades tended to be a little harder to diffuse, especially along the edges, for a seamless blend. Ideally, one would use a mid-tone and lighter shade to soften the edge of a darker matte shade rather than counting on the matte to diffuse perfectly on its own.

The upside is that the deepest mattes are really intense–they’re rich with lots of depth and have opaque, even coverage; it’s just that edge can be harder to navigate. I preferred using smaller, more precise brushes, especially for areas like the deeper crease, to darken and then build up as necessary, and I’d use a lighter hand with shades that were harder to work with. They are also harder to dupe as many brands lack the intensity and depth, so some might be willing to trade-of blendability for intensity and uniqueness.

Some of the matte eyeshadows–often lighter and more mid-tone–were very blendable on their own along with having full coverage. There were a few of the darker and richer mattes that were slightly more effort to soften along the edges but not truly difficult. There was just some inconsistency in the ease of application with the matte finish. They tended to wear between eight and nine hours before fading noticeably.

They come in oversized pans (relative to average size) at 37mm, and they contain double the product (0.10 oz.) the average eyeshadow does (0.05 oz.).

Dreamsicle

Give Me Glow Dreamsicle Matte Pressed Shadow ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a light-medium, orange-leaning peach with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation paired with a soft, somewhat powdery consistency, but the eyeshadow had a more velvety feel, which helped the coverage only sheer out a bit in practice. It lasted well for seven and a half hours before fading visibly.

West Coast

Give Me Glow West Coast Matte Pressed Pigment ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a vivid, orange-red with a matte finish. The texture was smooth, finely-milled, and not too firmly nor too loosely-pressed into the pan, which ensured it had opaque color coverage that remained blendable but wasn’t prone to fallout during application. It stayed on nicely for nine hours before fading noticeably but left a stain behind.

Application

Toxic

Give Me Glow Toxic Matte Pressed Pigment ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a rich, violet purple with cooler undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage, which was buildable, but it was best applied over an eyeshadow primer for better coverage but also smoother, more even application. The texture was drier, firmer, and thinner, which resulted in a product that required more effort to apply evenly and to blend out. It lasted well for nine hours but left a stain behind.
