Fyrinnae Mythical Dalliance, Symphonic, Venus Sunset Exquisites Pressed Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches

Mythical Dalliance

Fyrinnae Mythical Dalliance Exquisites Pressed Eyeshadow ($14.50 for 0.07 oz.) is a rosy copper that shifted to dirty gold to pink to yellower gold. It seemed to read more of a yellow, deeper gold with flecks of pink and gold sparkle most of the time to my eye (in person). The shift I saw in person was yellow gold to dirty plum to barely green-gold. Per the brand, it doesn’t have an “opaque base shade,” which is what it seemed–tons of shimmer and sparkle with more of a transparent base, though it wasn’t sheer. It was more semi-opaque when applied on its own and mostly opaque when applied on top of Pixie Epoxy; the brand “highly recommended” to use it with Pixie Epoxy as well.

The actual powder felt more textured as it contained larger particles and lots of them, but it was fairly easy to work with. I felt application was easiest and most foolproof using my fingertips or a wet brush. It applied evenly and adhered smoothly to my lid, though there was light to moderate fallout during application, so doing eyes first would be my recommendation. Once on, the eyeshadow stayed on well for eight hours with light 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.

Symphonic

Fyrinnae Symphonic Exquisites Pressed Eyeshadow ($14.50 for 0.07 oz.) has a warmer, plummy purple that shifts to slightly less warm-toned purple to dirty gold to green to deeper green. It had an incredible shift that was easy to see on my arm, and I did pick up a lot of the dynamic on my lid but the actual colors appeared a bit more muted on my lid in practice. The pigmentation was opaque in a single layer, while the texture was soft, smooth, and blendable without being too loosely or too firmly pressed in the pan. This was one of the easiest shades to use in the Exquisites’ pressed range, too. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Venus Sunset

Fyrinnae Venus Sunset Exquisites Pressed Eyeshadow ($14.50 for 0.07 oz.) goes from a warm, rosy copper to a golden bronze to olive green to a brighter, chartreuse green paired with a sparkling, metallic finish. It had opaque pigmentation applied dry as well as patted on top of Pixie Epoxy with the latter having a smoother, more sparkling finish and had less fallout during application. The texture was soft, a little drier to the touch (likely from all of the sparkles in it), but it was fairly blendable and picked up well with a brush or fingertip. The dominant shift that I saw in person was more of a warm, bronzy hue that sometimes looked reddish and occasionally had a green-gold vibe. It stayed on nicely for eight hours on me before I noticed fading.
