Burlesque
Glaminatrix Burlesque Matte Eyeshadow ($7.30 for 0.064 oz.) is a deep, muted purple with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was soft, finely-milled, and almost cream-like with how silky-smooth it was, but there was a fair amount of excess product that kicked up in the pan, even with a gentle touch.
The eyeshadow had opaque color coverage with very little fallout when blended out on my skin. It lasted nicely for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview
$7.30/0.064 oz. - $114.06 Per Ounce
The brand doesn't have any real specific claims on their eyeshadows, but the swatches they showcase show their line of eyeshadows to be pigmented. The exception would be shades classified as "Duochrome Toppers," which have a translucent base, though they are packed with shimmer and tend to show up more opaque as a result (both my in experience as well as in their swatches).
The brand has three primary finishes: matte, foiled, and duochrome topper. The matte eyeshadows, which sometimes are classified as matte pressed pigments, are very pigmented, silky-smooth, and blendable, but they are incredibly powdery in the pan. I was surprised that I didn't get much fallout during application, but there was a lot of excess powder kicked up in nearly every matte shade I tested out even when I tried to use a light touch. I found that the ultra finely-milled formula tended to adhere well to bare skin and was more forgiving of dryness than the average matte eyeshadow.
The foiled eyeshadows are high-shine with soft, more loosely-pressed textures (on the whole) that picked up readily with a dry brush, had good adhesion, and had minimal to light fallout, depending on the shade. The shades were higher shimmer seemed more loosely-pressed, while the shades that yielded more of a metallic sheen/pearly sheen were more firmly-pressed (in comparison).
The duochrome toppers are similar to the foiled eyeshadows, but they had higher sparkle/shimmer in them with a translucent base, so the more it was sheered out, the more translucent it appeared. If one picked up and patted it onto the lid, the effect was fairly pigmented. I had a little bit of fallout during application using this finish dry, so I'd recommend using them with a fingertip or a dampened brush for application.
Overall, the formulas are impressive across the board with only a few shades that were under-performing--and they typically were shades that tend to be harder to get perfect (e.g. matte purple). I enjoyed working with the eyeshadows and putting together looks, as they were easy to work with, delivered on pigmentation and blendability, and wore between eight and nine hours on bare skin.

Nectar
Glaminatrix Nectar Matte Eyeshadow ($7.30 for 0.064 oz.) is a brighter, medium purple with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation with a soft, smooth consistency that was moderately powdery but that seemed confined to the pan, as it applied evenly and wasn’t prone to sheering out nor having fallout during application. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Sitting Pretty
Glaminatrix Sitting Pretty Matte Pressed Pigment ($7.30 for 0.064 oz.) is a bright, light purple with strong, blue undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was incredibly finely-milled and smooth to the touch, but there was quite a lot of pwoder that kicked up as soon as I put my brush against the surface.
It had full color payoff that adhered evenly to bare skin, blended out well but wasn’t prone to sheering out, and despite the powderiness in the pan, I didn’t have issues with fallout. It stayed on well for eight hours before showing signs of fading.

Glaminatrix Periwinkle Matte Eyeshadow ($7.30 for 0.064 oz.) is a very light lavender with strong, cool undertones and a mostly matte finish. The eyeshadow felt incredibly smooth and finely-milled to the touch, though there was a lot of excess powder that got kicked up in the pan.
Thankfully, the powderiness didn’t translate to application as it was pigmented, blendable, and not prone to fallout. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.
