Sugarpill Cosmetics Profile
Sugarpill, one of my all-time favorite indie cosmetic brands, sells an amazing array of loose and pressed shadows. I first came across Sugarpill in their first year and I'm so glad I did. They instantly became one of my favorite bright shadow brands and have maintained this position ever since--you've probably noticed I regularly use Sugarpill in tutorials.
I recently swatched 21 of the Sugarpill Chromalusts and pressed shadows I own, but after Sugarpill's recent sale I purchased 6 more shadows, which I've swatched below. I had been after @#$%! ever since it was released at IMATS a while back. I hadn't purchased full palettes for either Cold Chemistry or Heart Breaker as I had heard mixed reviews on the textures and felt I probably had dupes for many of them. The sale (and a lot of requests from you guys for swatches of additional colors) finally wore me down and I grabbed a few colors from both collections! Paperdoll and Stella were the last Chromalusts on my wishlist I had yet to purchase, so I scooped those up as well.

Sugarpill Chromalusts Swatches - Paperdoll, Stella
Sugarpill Chromalusts are gorgeous, multidimensional loose shadows that I personally think work best when foiled (I usually use a mixing medium like MAC's water-based mixing medium).

Sugarpill Paperdoll - vibrant lavender with micro sparks |

Sugarpill Stella - black base with multicolored sparks |
Sugarpill Pressed Shadow Swatches - @#$%!, 2AM, Diamond Eyes, Soot and Stars
Sugarpill's pressed shadows are fantastic! The majority of them are completely matte and some are somewhat satin-y. They blend well, are extremely pigmented and the range of colors is amazing. I absolutely adore these!

Sugarpill @#$%! - vibrant blue-based red with micro sparks |

Sugarpill 2AM - bright plum with light lavender sparks |

Sugarpill Diamond Eyes - buttery, pearly white This is more brilliantly white in person, but swatched against my skin it looks a bit duller than it is in person. It actually has a super slight pink tone to it that reminds me of a whiter MAC Phloof!. |

Sugarpill Soot and Stars - pearly graphite black with micro sparks The sparks are more noticeable in person, but they are not as obvious on the skin as they are in the pan. |

Final Thoughts
I love all 6 of these shades and even if I own somewhat similar base colors compared to a few, Sugarpill has a way of adding a little extra something (like the gorgeous micro sparks) that makes their shadows a bit more unique compared to many run-of-the-mill shadows.
I highly recommend giving these or any of the 21 other shadows I previously swatched a try! It seems no matter what I've purchased over the years, Sugarpill has yet to really disappoint me once I get their shadows in my hands!
What do you think? Will you be purchasing any of these shades?

DeleteWow. Very dramatic colors! I've never tried that brand — I'll have to look for it.
ReplyDeleteSugarpill does crazy colors very well :) They're a (larger) indie company so you can only find them on their site and a select few fun shops! Definitely worth considering imo ;)
