Pat McGrath Bijoux Brilliance Eyeshadow Palette Swatches (x4)
There are four, five-pan Pat McGrath Bijoux Brilliance Eyeshadow Palettes available for the holiday season. The quality is comparable to the last batch of five-pan palettes released: all of the shades were more emollient, cream-like, and a bit thicker. The shimmers apply better in practice than swatched, while the mattes have a more velvety, silicone-like feel than the brand’s mattes in Mothership palettes.
I will be getting Bronze Ecstasy for my daughter. She undoubtedly has plenty of these types of shades as they are her favorite and she wears them well, but she likes PMGL’s formula. I think I may get Nightshade for myself. I was going to pass on it because I didn’t need the pinks and the blue looked a bit suspect. I also would likely never use the dark blue/black shade but I have seen several pale folks using the palette and also using the dark shade and they ended up with lovely looks so I will give it a try. I have some time as they are both still available on her site. I will see if Bronze Ecstasy is still available at Sephora and get it today.
Bronze Ecstasy and Lunar Nightshade: be still my beating heart! Those two are jawdropping beautiful! The only thing I would have changed is that deep plummy “brown” in Bronze Ecstasy to a richer charcoal brown.
But with DM Lightworks 5 palette on its way to me as I type, I think that will be one of just two palettes that I plan to get during the sale. The other? Huda Beauty Pretty Grunge!
They are all gorgeous and there is an array of colour combinations to suit a lot of customers. It’s hard to pick a favourite – Bronze Ecstasy, Lunar Nightshade and even Bordeaux Bliss.
The Bronze Ecstacy and Lunar Night color story sure does remind me of the SG x Temptalia – On the Horizon palette. I picked up the ND mini Star palette recently and combined with OTH it’s very similar with the dusky blues, muted brown burgundies and pops of metallics.
Oh! Pat McGrath Ruby Noir (Bordeaux Bliss) paired with G.A Eyes to Kill Intense #2! Thank you Christine!
I like these. I want to try PMG eyeshadows again, give them another chance but I guess I will see if any of these go on sale in future.
Bronze ecstasy and lunar nightshade are my favorites! Beautiful!
