Viseart Framboise Petits Fours Palette Review & Swatches

Framboise

Viseart Framboise Petits Fours Eyeshadow Palette ($22.00 for 0.21 oz.) includes two matte shades (peach and pink) and two shimmery shades (pale pink and rosy copper). For those who don’t mind some fallout or building up coverage, the rating may seem low; I think most shades built up without difficulty and were easy enough to use, but I found the formula to be a little weaker across the board compared to most Viseart eyeshadows.

I was surprised to find that two shades–Glacage and Confiture–both contain plastic (PET) glitter in them, as the particle size was very small, and I couldn’t really see what made it different compared to borosilicates (which are used in other shimmer shades usually). There was no warning on the palette, though after seeing it in the ingredients’ list, I noted that the product is called a “Professional Pigment Palette.”

Crème

Crème is a light-medium peach with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was soft but moderately powdery, so it had some fallout and a tendency to sheer out too readily. It had more medium to semi-opaque coverage before blending, and it was a shade that applied better over an eyeshadow primer as it seemed a little drier. It stayed on decently for seven and a half hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview

The eyeshadow formula is supposed to be "pigment[ed]" with "smooth and even application" that is "long-lasting." The matte shades are typically semi-opaque to opaque but buildable with soft, velvety textures that can sometimes be a little powdery or slightly firm, depending on the shade. I find that the mattes are often best suited to someone who likes control over pigmentation and may prefer to build up color; they regularly perform better in practice than just swatched on the arm as well.

The shimmer shades range from satin to metallic, and the more metallic shades tend to feel creamier to the touch, while the satin ones have a fine pearl to them that looks almost melted on the lid once blended out. Both the mattes and shimmers are blendable and easy to work with. Most of Viseart's eyeshadows wear between seven and nine hours on me.

Glacage

Glacage is a very light pink with strong, warm undertones and a sparkling/glittering finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage with a soft, lightly dusty consistency. The product applied evenly and blended out well but had light fallout during application and then some additional fallout over the eight and a half hours it lasted well for.

This shade contains plastic (PET) glitter further down the ingredient list–it was unexpected as nothing about the product screamed “glitter” to me.

Talc, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Mica, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Silica, Zinc Stearate, Polyurethane 33. (May Contain +/-: Titanium Dioxide CI 77891, Iron Oxides CI 77491/77492/77499, Red 123 CI 71145, Aluminum CI 77000, FD&C Yellow 5, Ultramarines Blue CI 77007, Carmine CI 75470, Yellow 83 CI 21108, Tin Oxide, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate).

NOTICE: All products categorized under "Glitter" contain Polyethylene Terephthalate, also known as plastic or PET glitter, and it is typically cosmetic grade glitter. Inclusion of this ingredient sometimes carries a warning (in the US) that the product is "not intended for use in the immediate eye area." This ingredient has not been approved for usage on the eyes per the FDA. In recent years, some brands are including this product in their eyeshadows without any warning or callout and effectively marketing them as eyeshadows or including a symbol of an "eye" which suggests eye usage. Via CosIng for EU, PET glitter is permitted without any restrictions or limitations. For an in-depth look at whether cosmetic grade glitter is safe, please view this post.

Confiture

Confiture is a muted, medium-dark rosy copper with subtle, warm undertones and flecks of pink and gold micro-sparkle/glitter throughout. The texture felt more emollient, more loosely pressed, and there was light fallout when blended out, so I’d definitely try to press and pat it into place to minimize fallout. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that could be built up to full coverage. There was slight fallout over time and more visible fading after eight and a half hours of wear.

This shade contains plastic (PET) glitter further down the ingredient list–it was unexpected as nothing about the product screamed “glitter” to me.

Framboise (Petits Fours)

Framboise (Petits Fours) is a medium-dark pink with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation but needed to be built up to full coverage as the texture was lightly powdery, so it sheered out a bit too easily when applied to bare skin. The eyeshadow applied evenly and blended out without difficulty. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.
