Mink
Victoria Beckham Beauty Mink Lid Lustre ($36.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a medium-dark taupe with warmer, rosy undertones and more of an olive sheen/sparkle. It had rich pigmentation in a single layer, and the dry application actually seemed more intense and slightly higher in shine than the wet application.
The texture was slightly thicker, more emollient, and almost cream-like in the jar, though it applied evenly and “melted” more like a powder on my lid. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before creasing noticeably.

Formula Overview
$36.00/0.17 oz. – $211.76 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a “wet, pearly finish” that has “buildable, high-shine brilliance.” The finish is described as “buildable,” while the pigmentation doesn’t have any descriptors but the brand shows it “in action” with full coverage with a single pass of a fingertip and fully opaque promotional swatches.
If you’re unfamiliar with this type of eyeshadow formula, it tends to feel like a hybrid between cream and powder, but it has the feel of loosely-pressed powder that has a slightly thicker, more emollient feel to the touch. Imagine loose eyeshadow that’s been gently pressed with a fingertip: that’s what this formula is like and does. It’s not so fragile to the point where it looks and feels like loose powder in the jar, which is thanks to the binders in it, but it yields that kind of pigmentation and finish.
The range delivered high color coverage in a single layer, which worked well with fingertips as well as brushes. While they could be used wet, they certainly did not need to be in order to achieve the “wet, pearly finish” that the brand marketed these as having. I did feel like using a dampened brush or fingertip helped to minimize opportunities for fallout, as using a dry brush sometimes had light fallout depending on the shade. I would suggest using a lighter hand when working with these as not a lot was necessary to achieve an even layer of product.
They wore between eight and nine hours on me before creasing slightly.

Onyx
Victoria Beckham Beauty Onyx Lid Lustre ($36.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a medium-dark black with neutral-to-cool undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The texture was moderately-dense, lightly thicker, and almost cream-like as it felt quite emollient but had more of a powdery application as it applied well with a dry brush and diffused gradually along the edges.
There was slight fallout when I worked with this shade, though. It had opaque color coverage that lasted well for eight and a half hours before creasing a bit.
