The shimmery finish, particularly more pearlescent/metallic, were significantly more emollient than the matte shades, and this led to sheerer coverage that often applied unevenly and was difficult to apply with precision. The matte shades were typically semi-opaque to opaque in coverage and longer-wearing-12 to 14 hours before showing a bit of fading-but were varying degrees of blendable (related to how creamy the initial texture was). The matte shades were lightly creamy to slightly stiffer to work with, and with the stiffer ones, I preferred using a brush to get the initial product out of the jar and then use a fingertip to furiously diffuse the product. The matte finish is most consistent in performance and tended to perform better than the shades with some level of shimmer.
You only need light brush strokes to apply the paint pots to get a decent show of colour. So if I were to break down things I like and things I don’t like about the products: (T): Silverthorn with Delft, (B): Silverthorn Eyeshadow And once again, Delft changed Silverthorn completely. So again, I swatched the colour by itself and then paired it with Delft. Here’s what it looks like: Silverthorn eyeshadow I took a light blue shade called Silverthorn (again by MAC). What I found was that pairing Rubesnesque with Vex changes the whole dimension of Vex altogether! I wouldn’t recommend pairing very shimmery shades with Rubenesque though, as it’s got pearl pigments in it already. As you can probably tell, Vex looks different when paired with Rubenesque (swatch on the right).
