Em Cosmetics Cosmic Pearl Dewy Eyeshadows: Demos, Swatches & Review!

[@kimgarrison2904]

I'm really starting to love the way cream eyeshadows look on my 56 year old lids. So much more forgiving than powder, but the key is a moist non-creasing formula. Thank you so much.

[@ella3796]

You would love the Charlotte Tilbury eyes ro mesmerize formula. That stays on for so long and doesn’t crease. :)

[@kimgarrison2904]

@@ella3796 Thanks for the tip. Somewhere along the way, I missed something about an upcoming video on wet shadows? Can you fill me in?

[@NatalieValentina6]

Ever since I saw Mariah & Matilda feature these, I was hoping that you'd try them too. I'm interested in Luna & Moonrise, but I really hope they add some neutral & cooler tones soon. I'd love to see that formula in a dk. chocolatey bronze, & a mauve-pewter-taupey shade. Thanks, Amanda😘.

[@beckyshaknovich7554]

Same and same! Luna and moonrise are interesting to me, but I wish there were deeper neutral to cool shades. I am not as pale as Amanda, so I don’t even know if these two shades would work as anything other than inner corner highlights on me.

[@kimberlysh88]

Taupe 🙏

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

Y'all need to check out the Sydney Grace cream shadows. More shades, much less expensive and promo codes are out there.

[@NatalieValentina6]

@@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens I already adore Sydney Grace liquid shadows, but I enjoy trying new formulas/brands/textures, & I do like the 2 lightest, silvery champagne shades. I was esp. interested in them b/c they were being billed as "dewy", but they look like standard foiled shades w/some extra emollients added🤷🏻‍♀️.

[@meepenjaap7999]

YES!! to "dk. chocolatey bronze, & a mauve-pewter-taupey shade" I'm not into this whole red and orange tone eyeshadows. I think in 10 years we will say what were we thinking!!!

[@jeng8401]

I am super excited to see your video on "wet" eyeshadows. I love that look too and look forward to your suggestions!

[@rebeccac.1758]

I wish there was an olive or grayish color. I can't do any orange - pink tones, because they make me look ill LOL

[@ampalayuh3190]

an olive color would be so cool omg

[@meepenjaap7999]

I think everyone looks ill or have bloody eyes. LOL Except on models or in print mags.

[@elizabetha6450]

same

[@fbmbassist]

Super helpful! Definitely looking forward to the wet shadow video!

[@StateofKait]

The shades make it a pass for me but Star Child looks pretty awesome. I'm only skipping it because I have the Roen 11:11 palette and I can kinda get the same look from that but they all looked stunning on you. I just wish they had made some bronzes and the "richness" like you said.

[@kynialikethecountry2036]

All these shades are GORGEOUS. I LOVED Helios on your eyes-- made them really pop!

[@threadsketch7267]

My body is SO ready for that wet-look eyeshadows video.

[@relishriley]

I know you've talked about the Ulta metallic cream eyeshadows before, but I found the shade Breakdance which, on my skin tone, is a very similar shade to CT Oyster Pearl! To help the shadow blend, I put the most amount on the center of my lid to keep the pigment and shine, and then I blend it out into the general shape with a small brush (I use the elf eye crease brush) and then I use my finger to soften the edges! Because it's metallic and not shimmery, it also works well to add a little something to the bottom lashline too! Obviously it's much easier to take *just* a brush or a finger and swipe on CT Oyster Pearl, but I thought it was worth mentioning! If I do want extra shine, adding a glitter/wet-looking topper is lovely!

[@cela7208]

as soon as these were announced i knew i needed your review on these 😍

[@katechipata9934]

Wow! This will be my first Em Cosmetics purchase 😍😍 Thanks for sharing!

[@natalialynn7596]

I cannot wait for your wet looking shadows video

[@sherylbeamer7189]

I love the dewy look but have CT oyster shell, Roen 11:11 , UD space cowboy and Colourpop cosmic charge so I think I’ve got the colors I prefer though these look lovely on you!

[@Carpface]

omfg so stoked for the wet shadow series HNNGGGGHHH!!!

[@TheNotaryMom]

I have wish & Venus in my cart. They are soooo beautiful! Wow. I ordered their blush/contour sticks and magic hour blush last week. I cannot wait to try. I would buy this brand for the packaging alone tbh! Haha

[@ginafoster1031]

These look so lush thank you for sharing 😊

[@christinab8964]

you should try the flower beauty desert lights and jungle lights palettes, the formula looks very similar to these Em shadows!

[@AmandaZ]

I have tried those! They have less emollience and have more of a powder look than these but they are pretty!

[@lann41]

I ordered venus and luna last week and waiting for them to ship. Can't wait! Great review!

[@marneecrawford8916]

I ordered Luna on Saturday!

[@julieboley7190]

Would love to see a video about your top products from Em.

[@amyjohnson4543]

Have you seen the desert lights from flowerbeauty? I just got it and am enjoying it very much

[@TheSim1derful]

Wow, these REALLY remind me of the Essence Melted Chrome shadows (I have 4). I'll probably pass because I already have those, but these look amazing. And I was so curious about their finish - definitely was expecting a more wet look rather than metallic.

[@makeupeclectic]

Yesssss been hoping for this review

[@laurenfalzone3739]

Yayyy so excited for this! I was wondering why these haven’t been talked about much yet

[@wiredayan9719]

Yes!!! I needed your review!!

[@Kim.419]

Yayyy! I’ve been binge watching your videos and I’m so excited to try cream products lol. I instantly thought of you when I saw they released these 😂

[@carols.4252]

I love this brand. I recently went on a Danessa Myricks haul and the colors in the squeeze tubes that art not matte look very wet. I have three.

[@dubioc7678]

Can’t wait for that next video ! Thanks Amanda your reviews are honestly so good.

[@dwjamaicamakeupandmusings6222]

They're so purty🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@leaheiden2436]

I am so looking forward to your wet eyeshadow video! I've been looking for a taupe brown wet looking shade and it is so hard to find! I'm definitely going to be picking up a few shades from this launch! This was super helpful! Thank you Amanda!

[@WriterSnider]

Looking forward to hearing more about wet-looking shadows!

[@Namri]

Love the shades!! Robert Welsh mentioned these came out but didn’t have any to test. I knew you’d have a review on these and boom your video pops up right in my recommendations! I’m so torn as to which one to buy!! Thank you for the review!! I love how you go over everything about the product!! After watching your reviews I feel confident if it’s a product I’d like or not. :) Even if we’re complete opposite skin types!

[@carleyrae_j]

Luna is so gorgeous. 😍 Can’t decide if I should order Luna now or wait for your upcoming video on best wet looking shadows

[@AmandaZ]

No harm in waiting if you think you'll make a better purchasing decision! :)

[@jenhesse22]

Have you tried Vanity Cosmetics’ eyeshadow palette? I think you will love the diamond sparkle shadows. It gives off a wet glossy finish.

[@kimlevy385]

Do you like it?

[@jenhesse22]

@@kimlevy385 It is my favorite palette this year. I was quite skeptical in the beginning due to the price point and also since it wasn’t an established high end brand. The mattes are silky smooth and the diamond sparkle shades give off an ethereal glistening effect. Sometimes the site has sales, so I suggest picking it up when there is a discount.

[@NatalieValentina6]

@@jenhesse22 Is it more warm or neutral in person? I dislike orange tones, & they're throwing my eye off. I can't tell if the other shades besides the orange matte & copper are more warm or neutral, from the online photos.

[@jenhesse22]

@@NatalieValentina6 I would say that it is a neutral palette with two shades that lean warm. The orange shade can be mixed with other matte shadows if you want to warm up your look. That said, you could easily tone down a look by adding the cream or taupe shade. The shades in the palette are truly customizable. I wish there were a way to add photos here.

[@ampalayuh3190]

OMG V EXCITED FOR THAT EYESHADOW VIDEO UR POSTING SOON :O

[@annanewsom4253]

I think theses are beautiful!!

[@ShanrellsStash]

Have you tried the Burt’s Bees cream shadows? I’d love a review from you. Can’t wait for that wet looking shadow video😍

Just picked up one to give it a try.

[@nancycohen3968]

Great review!

[@AmandaZ]

Thank you Nancy!

[@USER-cn6uo]

So, in your opinion, if I want a nice 60’s Hollywood glamour pale champagne shadow to go with my red lip ala Marilyn Monroe, go with one of these? Or with the Chanel cream shadow (if budget isn’t an option)

[@AmandaZ]

I havent tried the chanel in a champagne shade, but Luna would be brighter and Moonrise would be a little more subdued!

[@justinelee5176]

Your skin looks flawless! Do you have a skincare routine? 😍

[@cindicleee]

Soo beautiful! ✨✨

[@kimlevy385]

I’m so glad you did this video!♥️♥️♥️

[@marneecrawford8916]

Is Helios shade similar to Charlotte Tilbury’s Eyes to Mesmerize Copper Sunrise? I sooo enjoy your videos….. take care!🦋

[@Ashmont27]

Imagining these layered over Danessa color fixes 🤤

[@noirnicole4327]

are any of the shades similar looking to the ulta bouncy eyeshadows?

[@julianacesaro5150]

Can you please review KVD modcon contour and blush gels 🙏

[@mickeymickey1]

i would love to know what i can get from this $26 formula that i can't get from a less mainstream, indie brand that has shadows that cost significantly less.

[@NatalieValentina6]

J.D. Glow Galaxy & Metallon shadows, Clionadh Stained Glass, & Terra Moons FTW!

[@kimgarrison2904]

@@NatalieValentina6 THOSE ARE INCREDIBLY STUNNING!

[@PockyNinja8]

@@NatalieValentina6 It’s easy for me to find low-cost shadows that are ✨stunning✨ but just do a sucky job at wearing on my skin for more than an hour :( which is why i usually go for more expensive shadows. but oooh i’ve never heard of these brands! i’m def going to check them out now 🤓

[@sharigreenman1020]

Interested to know the similarities with the Roen warm palette.

[@cindyvan7570]

Your eyeshadow today looks very beautiful on you.

[@MissBerlinerin]

Love the nude caramel background !

[@clarar2187]

I wish they would do a color similar to the green/pink shift shade in the Pat McGrath Bronze seduction palette - I’m still out here looking for a single shadow dupe!

[@missdella4990]

Would love to see this formula in a cool olive green colour 😍 now that would be a nice one and done shadow. Also I’d be horrified if one of my shadows suddenly became a liquid putty, do you think that could have anything to do with the temperature where you are? Like the way some products melt when it’s hot or humid

[@nallya9018]

Have you tried Colourpop’s super shock shadow in Moonwalk? It’s a greeny gold one and done that isn’t glittery.

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

*Amanda, if you don't yet have Ladybird (Super Shock Shadow) from Colourpop, it's even more wet looking than Ritz and Space Cowboy. It's glorious! (Honorable mentions: Cami Crush, Sailor, Frog, Moon Daisy, Set to Stun and I See the Light (which looks purple on the website but is an extremely light lilac-ey iridescent shade.)*

[@luminalgenie]

I wonder if you tried the UD shadows that have a very similar packaging to these! They sparked my interest :)

[@dominiquecampos9333]

She recommends space cowboy Al the time 😉

[@RitmoJuvenile]

Please do an about-face brand review! Esoecially their new fractal collection!

[@midlifemom5829]

Would these be nice on mature textured lids? I’m trying to avoid formulas that exaggerate my crepey eye

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

*Gurl, you can get some KILLER cream shadows for $8/each from Sydney Grace! The multichromes are $15 and she has codes you can use!! $27 a pop is dead crazy!!*

[@antonisantoniou4883]

you should try the glamshop-pl eyeshadows!

[@missiehammers5870]

Amanda, how do you feel about the em cosmetics so soft multi face play in the shade terra if you’ve tried that specific shade? You are a little more tan and a warmer undertone but I can’t seem to find anyone with as fair as skin if me using any of the shades. I am extremely pale and cool toned

[@LusciousBaybee]

Wish we could get em cosmetics in the UK 😭 they look so beautiful!

[@brittneydoesitherself5546]

Morphe has this gloss stick for a more wet look that I loooooove to mix with eyeshadow to get that look if they normally fall flat. I love the stick on the skin too. I keep that dewyness all day.

[@kimlevy385]

Are these good for mature eyes

[@Sassyglbeauty]

I really think I want to get Luna and maybe the Star one …. And eventually scorpious. I thought of you as soon as I saw this release. You are to cream shadows as Kackie is to blush. Lol.

[@jynaya]

I wish Em cosmetics was less expensive to get in Canada. I’ve wanted some of their other products (and am intrigued by these as well) but just can’t justify the crazy cost 😒

[@carmiebbt]

also conversion 🥲

[@gbtink]

These look so much like roen, I’m super curious to how they compare. I love my roen so I don’t think I’ll get these but I am curious. Now, like u said - a chocolate brown in these??? Take my f’ing money. Lol

[@StateofKait]

CLICKED SO FAST

[@brandiboo1231]

i was honestly interested until i saw the price point. i have a few cream shadows that perform very well and are all either $10 or less. my favorite one (which i think is now discontinued) is only $6. i dont think id ever spend more than $15 on a single shadow unless it was some special duochrome or triochrome ive never seen before

[@ClaraBlush]

Does this product contain glitter like the CP super shocks? I am not a fan of glitter particles.

[@AmandaZ]

some shades have glitter and others don't! if you want no glitter I would look at scorpius, venus, helios, wish or moonrise! Those are more straight metallics without the glitter

[@ClaraBlush]

I’m never one to gripe about prices but dang $26 for a single eyeshadow

That's what I thought. Price for gram it's $8.67. I did the comparison to some high-end singles. Charolette Tilbury eyes to mesmerize is $4.57/g. Hourglass scattered shadow is $8.29/g. Tom Ford cream color is $9.2/g. 🤯

Do they have any glitters? It doesn't look like it. That's the one thing I didn't like about Space Cowboy... the fallout was just too much for me.
