Clionadh Ultra Metal Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches (Part 1 of 2)

Firewood

Clionadh Firewood Ultra Metal Eyeshadow ($5.50 for 0.06 oz.) is a rich, darker olive green with strong, warm undertones and a metallic finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which had excellent adhesion to bare skin and diffused well along the edges.

The texture was moderately dense, creamy, and smooth without being too firmly-pressed into the pan. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Poinsettia

Clionadh Poinsettia Ultra Metal Eyeshadow ($5.50 for 0.06 oz.) is a deep, slightly muted, rusty red with warm undertones and a smooth, metallic sheen. The eyeshadow had rich color payoff paired with a moderately-dense, smoother texture that was a bit more firmly-pressed into the pan compared to other shades in the formula.

I had to use a slightly heavier hand to pick up product, but it had good adhesion and wasn’t prone to fallout or appearing thickened on my skin. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Chocolate Orange

Clionadh Chocolate Orange Ultra Metal Eyeshadow ($5.50 for 0.06 oz.) is a deep, golden bronze with strong, warm undertones and a subtle, metallic sheen. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, creamy consistency that was moderately dense but not too thick, so I didn’t have any issues using it with a dry brush. This shade stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Spruce

Clionadh Spruce Ultra Metal Eyeshadow ($5.50 for 0.06 oz.) is a darker, bluish-aqua with cool undertones and a metallic finish. It had opaque pigmentation with a denser, lightly creamy texture that was slightly thicker than other shades, though I didn’t have issues with getting it to apply evenly to bare skin nor did it emphasize my skin texture. It lasted nicely for eight and a half hours before creasing faintly.
