Makeup by Mario Party Glam Eyeshadow Quad Review & Swatches

Party Glam

Makeup by Mario Party Glam Glam Eyeshadow Quad Makeup by Mario Party Glam Glam Eyeshadow Quad ($25.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a new, limited edition quad that included three intense, metallic eyeshadows and one matte shade. The metallics were fantastic–pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing–but the matte was harder to blend out, so it would be best paired with complementing shades to soften the edge.

Party Glam #1

Party Glam #1 is a medium-dark blue with subtle, cool undertones and a smooth, metallic finish. It was richly pigmented with a lightly creamy consistency that was dense but not overly thick or too firmly-pressed into the pan. It wore nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview

The formula is supposed to have "high-impact shine" that can be used "dry or wet to achieve a light wash or full-coverage color." If you're someone who wants really intense pigmentation with a dry brush, not all shades will be capable of that, though several in the formula were very pigmented both dry as well as wet.

The consistency was almost spongy, a bit emollient but did not seem overly prone to compacting in the pan, which can be an issue with more emollient formulas. It was denser but thin and wasn't stiff to work with. The eyeshadows applied evenly to bare skin, blended out well in most instances, and went on very easily--they were easier to apply than I think the feel of them would have indicated.

The slip in the formula gave them a smoother, more "melted" look when applied to my skin, so they had shine but did not emphasize my skin texture. They wore between eight and nine hours on me before fading/creasing faintly.

Party Glam #2

Party Glam #2 is a medium silver with subtle, cool undertones and a bright, metallic finish. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and dense without being too firmly-pressed into the pan, so it wasn’t difficult to pick up or to apply with a dry brush. It had opaque pigmentation that lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Party Glam #3

Party Glam #3 is a medium gold with subtle, warm undertones and a bright, metallic finish with very faint sparkle throughout. It had opaque color coverage in a single layer, which adhered well to bare skin and blended out nicely along the edges.

The consistency felt smooth and lightly creamy but wasn’t overly thick, so it picked up well with a dry brush and went on evenly. It stayed on well for nine hours before creasing slightly.

Party Glam #4

Party Glam #4 is medium-dark blue with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. I’d almost call it a bluish-teal, but it seemed too blue to really be classified as a teal hue. The texture was a touch drier and thinner, which made it a bit harder to work with when it came to applying it and blending out the edges evenly.

There wasn’t much in the way of fallout, but it needed to be more blendable along the edges. This shade showed signs of fading after eight and a half hours of wear.

Formula Overview

The formula is supposed to have "medium buildable and blendable coverage"with a "featherlight creamy feel." The formula is marked by a translucency to them that was, in fact, more medium to semi-opaque and buildable in coverage. They were soft, smooth, and velvety with glide but little powderiness, and they seemed to "melt" a bit when applied to bare skin.

I'd argue that they were a little more pigmented in one layer than true medium, but in practice, it seemed slightly more true-to-medium in coverage as the shades diffused evenly and spread to more medium coverage (even when initially seemingly semi-opaque). They lasted between seven and eight hours on me before fading visibly.
