Fyrinnae Fantasy Creatures & Stained Glass Exquisites Pressed Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches

Fantasy Creatures

Fyrinnae Fantasy Creatures Exquisites Pressed Eyeshadow ($14.50 for 0.07 oz.) often appeared as a bright, gold-green with flecks of richer, cooler green sparkle and shimmer throughout, and then it shifted to a golden bronze to lavender to pale pink. If one could capture the shades of spring and put them in one eyeshadow, this is what it would look like.

While a lot of multichromes can be quite interesting and complex when swatched, they tend to lose a significant amount of that complexity on the lid as it’s a smaller space and ends up easier for someone else to see the shift on you than on yourself (and even then, it’s not necessarily easy to detect the shifts at the more extreme ends). This shade shifted from warmer gold to the cooler green flecks catching the light to looking slightly pinkish along the edge when I checked for shifts in most lighting–I didn’t have to go hunting to catch it. To get it to turn more lavender-mauve-pink, it was at certain angles and lighting but was noticeable.

The texture was uneven on the actual surface of the pan, which was noted by the brand, though the actual eyeshadow went on quite smoothly. It felt drier, almost flaky, so there was light to moderate fallout during application, depending on the method–fingertips and wet brushes yielded the least fallout.

It had opaque pigmentation applied dry as well as when applied over Pixie Epoxy or with a wet brush. The cooler tone of the green shimmer came through more noticeably when applied over a tacky base or with a wet brush. This shade was recommended, by the brand, to be used with a tacky base. I actually found I preferred application with a wet brush, as it helped give me smoother application with minimal fallout but retained all the blendability of a dry eyeshadow (sometimes tacky bases can make it harder to blend out the edges). The eyeshadow stayed on well for eight and a half hours with a touch of fallout over time.

Most of the shades had noticeable shift when swatched on my arm without having to strain myself to find the perfect angle and lighting source to see it. The latter was more the case with a few shades to get some of the more extreme shifts when the product was applied to my actual eye (lid space). The majority of shades have a creamier, denser, thicker consistency to them–they often felt packed with silicones (and dimethicone was typically the second ingredient, so it wasn’t a surprise!) with some shades having a textured, uneven surface that was easily compacted into the pan. A few of those shades were harder to pick up later on and tended to work best with a wet brush or fingertips rather than dry brush.

Other shades were smoother, softer, and more forgiving–they felt more like typical powder eyeshadow. The shades with larger shimmer/sparkle had light to moderate fallout during application but had fairly good adhesion once on. The majority of shades were very pigmented on their own, but some definitely were best applied wet, with a fingertip, or applied over a tacky base (some shades explicitly say to use a tacky base with them). They wore between eight and nine hours on me with no to light fallout.

Stained Glass

Fyrinnae Stained Glass Exquisites Pressed Eyeshadow ($14.50 for 0.07 oz.) is a multichrome that primarily looks like a smoky, emerald green over a blackened base, and then it shifts to a stronger, blackened green to muted, bluish-violet to a brighter, medium-dark violet purple that stretched to a warmer plum at the very extreme edge of the shift (almost impossible for me to see on myself but the last photo captured it).

As a multichrome, the shift is most noticeable when the product is applied to a larger area or an area that has more curves (like the inner tearduct). Applied to my lid, it showed as a deeper, smokier color that I could see shift from a deep green to a subdued purple (almost grayish). I think with such a prominent black base, the shift didn’t show as dramatically on my lid as it did swatched.

It had rich pigmentation applied dry or over Pixie Epoxy (or used with a wet brush or fingertips). I find that fingertip and wet brush application gave it a more intense, smoother, and more reflective finish, though. The texture was moderately dense without being too thick or heavy, so it was easy to pick up with a dry brush and applied without much fallout. It wore well for nine hours on me before creasing faintly.
