Beauty Care: Terra Moons Lightspeed, Celestial Petal, Moon Mist, Axis Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches

Lightspeed

Terra Moons Lightspeed Duochrome Eyeshadow ($8.00 for 0.05 oz.) has a bright yellow base with a sparkling, metallic sheen that shifted from icy blue to warm lavender. The eyeshadow seemed on the more fragile side so take care picking up product (use a lighter hand).

Opaque, smooth pigmentation
Lightly creamy, more loosely-pressed but dense enough to pick up well with a brush
Adheres well to bare skin, blendable and easy to work with
Long-wearing (8 hours)

Formula Overview

$8.00/0.05 oz. - $160.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "blendable" and "pigmented" with "a bit of kick up" when used due to being "pressed by hand." Some shades come with "additional information" such as being sheerer on the brand's website (for that particular shade) or to use a "glitter primer" due to the finish.

I found that some matte shades were more noticeably powdery than others, but whether there was just a little bit of powderiness or more noticeable powderiness really depended on a shade. The neon shades were the most powdery and hardest to work with on their own; some had more specific tips/guidance on how to work with them, which I felt was great for disclosure, but it could get hard to remember what shade needs to be applied in such and such fashion since it really did vary a lot shade by shade. The darker and less neon matte shades tended to perform the best for me--more pigmentation, better blendability, and were easier to work with and were more consistent.

Most shades--matte and more shimmery--were pigmented, easy to blend, and applied well to bare skin. They lasted between seven and eight hours with most closer to eight hours before fading (more of the mattes) or creasing (some of the more intense metallics).

Moon Mist

Terra Moons Moon Mist Duochrome Eyeshadow ($8.00 for 0.05 oz.) seemed to have a greenish-tinted base, but it retained some translucency, with a duochrome, sparkling shift that went from pale blue to green. It felt overly emollient, which resulted in the product not applying as well on its own.

Medium, uneven pigmentation
Very creamy, moderately emollient, prone to patchiness and clumping
Best applied with a fingertip and sheered out
Long-wearing (8 hours)
