Arabian Nights
Sydney Grace Arabian Nights Pressed Pigment Shadow ($6.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium brown with warm, reddish undertones and a frosted finish. It had opaque pigmentation with a soft, smooth texture that was dense without being too firmly-pressed in the pan or thick in feel on the lid. It applied evenly and stayed on well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview
$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).

Dark Chocolate
Sydney Grace Dark Chocolate Matte Shadow ($5.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium-dark brown with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had rich color coverage with a soft, velvety texture that wasn’t too firmly nor too softly pressed in the pan, so the eyeshadow still blended out easily but didn’t sheer out too readily. It lasted nicely for eight hours before starting to fade on me.

Formula Overview
$5.00/0.06 oz. – $83.33 Per Ounce
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.
