Soiree
Olivia Palermo Soiree Eyeshadow Palette ($58.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a warmer-toned neutral color story that featured four matte eyeshadows and two more shimmery shades. The mattes were smooth, velvety, and blendable without being powdery or prone to sheering out, while one shimmer was fantastic, the other was so-so.

Formula Overview
–
The eyeshadow formula is supposed to have “high coverage” while being “blendable and buildable” with being “long-lasting” and “non-drying.” The majority of the shades had higher pigmentation, typically semi-opaque to opaque, while a few shades had more medium and buildable coverage.
The formula had more slip to it, as they often felt like cream-powder hybrids, which helped them look more “melted” and smoother when applied and blended out on bare skin. For those with oilier skin, a primer might be a necessith here as most shades had minor creasing after eight hours on me (whereas noticeable fading is more typical for me with eyeshadows at this mark).
The creaminess of the formula helped some of the more sparkly finishes adhere evenly and have more minimal fallout, but I wouldn’t say it was “anti-fallout” per se.
The matte shades didn’t have the cream-powder feel, but they had a more velvety, smooth, and non-powdery consistency that made them a pleasure to work with. These lasted eight hours before fading visibly.
