True to Myself

Rare Beauty True to Yourself Discovery Eyeshadow PaletteRare Beauty True to Yourself Discovery Eyeshadow Palette ($29.00 for 0.15 oz.) includes three matte eyeshadows, three shimmer eyeshadows, and one pressed glitter. Two of the seven shades were pleasant to work with–the last two–but the rest were disappointing, considering the brand’s lovely holiday palettes. The matte formula tended to be thinner and powdery with sheerer coverage (by no means “rich”). I was also surprised that they didn’t release two variations as this was more light-leaning, and a second, darker, and richer option would have provided opportunities for more skin tones.

Undeniable

Undeniable is a darker, purplish-mauve with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. While the texture was silky and finely milled to the touch, it was moderately powdery and had light fallout. The pigmentation was medium and didn’t build up well, though it was blendable. This shade stayed on well for seven hours before fading noticeably.

Genuine

Genuine is a light, peachy coral with warmer, orange-leaning undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-sheer color coverage, which could be built up to medium pigmentation or semi-opaque coverage if applied over an eyeshadow primer. The texture was soft and smooth to the touch, but it was thinner and more firmly pressed into the pan, which may have contributed to the sheerness. It lasted for seven hours before fading visibly.
