Sydney Grace Sweet Indulgence Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches


Sweet Indulgence

Sydney Grace Sweet Indulgence 9-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($33.00 for 0.54 oz.) is a new, permanent palette that included four shimmer eyeshadows and five matte eyeshadows. One shade–Sweet Cakes–was a little more powdery than is typical for the brand’s matte eyeshadows, but otherwise, the eyeshadows were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing with little to nitpick over!

Sugar Bear

Sugar Bear is a medium-dark pink with warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was smooth, almost velvety, and blendable without being prone to fallout or sheering out too readily. It had opaque color payoff that stayed on well for eight hours before showing signs of fading.

The matte eyeshadows tend to be pigmented (typically semi-opaque or opaque, often buildable if they aren’t opaque) with a soft, more velvety texture that has slight slip but isn’t so thick that it gets difficult to use, applies unevenly, or has a lot of fallout. I’ve found that most of the matte eyeshadows apply and blend out without much effort but a few may take a bit more effort to diffuse along the edges. The matte formula tends to wear between eight and eight and a half hours on me.

Lolli

Lolli is a dusty, dark pink with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was the type of shade that was almost brown because of the depth and warmth, but it looked too rosy to be a true brown. The texture was soft, a little powdery in the pan, but it was blendable and easy to work with. It had opaque pigmentation that lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Sweet Tooth

Sweet Tooth is a deep, plummy brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that was easily built up to full coverage if desired. The eyeshadow had a soft, smooth consistency that was a touch powdery in the pan but very blendable on the lid. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Gumdrop

Gumdrop is a light-medium purple with warmer, pink undertones and flecks of blue-to-violet shifting sparkle over a metallic finish. It had a slightly more loosely-pressed texture with larger sparkle particles, so there was light fallout during application if I wasn’t careful to press/pat it into place. It had nearly opaque color coverage that was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. It stayed on nicely for eight hours with slight fallout over time.

$6.00/0.06 oz. – $100.00 Per Ounce

The shimmer eyeshadows are more consistent in pigmentation with the majority of shades having opaque color coverage. The more metallic/sparkly the shade is, the creamier and more emollient the eyeshadow felt in the pan, which often yielded really smooth application and good adherence to the lid, though a few worked better with a fingertip or a dampened brush for true-to-pan color or to get a truer finish/sheen.

Most shades, however, worked well with brushes, and I didn’t have trouble applying or blending out most of the shimmer shades. The more satin to pearl like finishes tend to feel a little thinner but blend out well. These shades wore between eight and nine hours on me with some of the more foiled-like shades creasing noticeably at the end (and the less foiled-like ones fading).

Taffy

Taffy is a richer, yellowed brown with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, more velvety texture that was substantial enough not to sheer out too readily but was still very blendable. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Bubblegum

Bubblegum is a rich, pink-coral with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic finish. It had opaque color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well. The texture was moderately dense, smooth, and almost cream-like but needed to be used with a slightly firmer hand to pick up product evenly. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.
