Pretty Chic
Coloured Raine Pretty Chic 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($16.00 for 0.42 oz.) included two shimmer shades, which were more emollient and thicker compared to the four matte shadows included in the palette. The matte formula was more hit or miss and would definitely require primer for anyone interested in it.
Ingredients

- Medium opaque color payoff

Formula Overview
$6.99/0.064 oz. – $109.22 Per Ounce
2022 Formula: The formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” and “blendable” with a “butterly smooth” feel.The majority of the matte eyeshadows were quite pigmented, while some of the shimmers were overly emollient, which resulted in sheerer and/or uneven coverage.
The matte eyeshadows have a bit of dryness to them, though they were pigmented and fairly blendable, but they tended to apply best over an eyeshadow primer, which ensured a better base for them to adhere to. The shimmer eyeshadows were best applied with fingertips or a flat, firm (and sometimes dampened) brush and pressed/patted into place, then lightly blended.
I did not love the two finishes paired together as the matte finish was thinner and more powdery compared to the thicker, denser shimmers, so the shimmers often “erased” the matte eyeshadows when blended out.
The formula was different than the brand’s original single pan formula that they originally debuted with, and I preferred their original formula overall, though the new one is decent, just not as foolproof to work with.
Original formula review: The formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented, long-lasting, and blendable” and come in a variety of finishes. Most their eyeshadows are semi-opaque to opaque with a smooth, blendable textures that are easy to use and apply well to bare skin. The shimmers are slightly dense and creamier to the touch compared to the mattes, which aren’t thin but don’t have the same amount of slip. They tend to wear between eight and nine hours on me.
