Makeup Your Mind

Tarte chrome paint shadow pots (review & swatches).

Sometime last year tarte released their Chrome Paint Shadow Pots and I was instantly smitten with the shade Fire Dancer (that deep metallic burgundy-red you see on the left). That shade in particular was so intriguing to me – in the pot it looked more pink than red (which isn’t my style), but in swatches it was this molten fiery lava shade that just set my heart on fire!

So when I received a package of these Chrome Paint Shadow Pots to try out, I was over the moon! And then also… suddenly nervous. While I do use pigments from time to time, they’re not generally my favourite kind of eyeshadow because my god are they ever messy. These Chrome Paints are no exception, but once you see how the colours play out, you may want to dive in headfirst and play around with them too!

Each pot contains 3 grams (0.11 ounces) of product – which is roughly double what you would expect to get in a traditional pressed eyeshadow pan. I’m glad there’s so much product in there, because the price point is a bit up there  ( $27 CAD / $22 USD ) for a single shadow. That being said, you’re getting a heck of a foiled eyeshadow pigment out of these… just check out the swatches!

These were swatched (as per usual) with a cotton bud, but the brand does indicate these work best with your fingertip in order to melt the product into your skin. I didn’t read that tidbit until after I’d swatched them, but I can confirm that using something to “melt/crush” the product (so to speak) works a lot better than something dry. If you apply them dry, you end up with a few chunks (as you can see above) that need a bit of smoothing out. For all the eye looks you’ll see below, I ended up wetting my brush before applying the shadow to my lids and I found that worked very, very well in order to smooth out the pigment. That being said, these are metallic right out of the gates and don’t necessarily need the extra oomph from a wet brush.

For this look I opted for Park Ave Princess on the lid with Top Yacht on the inner corner. Top Yacht is unbelievably reflective. I could probably also use it as a cheek highlight because the reflection is incredible!

Closed eye shot with the same colours as above so you can see the texture a bit better. It’s quite foiled (and my eyelids are a touch crinkly) but overall it’s quite a smooth application with a wet brush.

The next look involves Martini all over the lid with Steel The Show on the outer corner and through the crease. I thought Steel The Show would be more grey overall, but it’s got a beautiful grey cast to it. Martini is one of those darker golden-olive shades – wonderful as a lid shade.

And my favourite? No surprise here, but it’s Fire Dancer (I even love the name!). This colour is basically all of my makeup hopes and dreams rolled into one fiery shade of wonder. This colour is EVERYTHING to me! It’s the only colour I used all over my lid, crease and lower lash line (I have a glitter on the inner corner) and the end result is breathtaking. If there’s one shade I’d urge you to pick up the most in this collection – it’s this one!

Final Thoughts

The tarte Chrome Paint Shadow Pots are definitely a bit messy, and slightly finicky but oh-so-worth it. (To cause the least amount of mess, I’d scoop my brush into the product and plop it into the lid, wet my brush, then smush the shadow into the lid of the product and apply it directly to my lid.)

Each colour is beautifully pigmented and has a beautiful foiled/metallic finish. While most of the shades are fairly neutral, the ones that stood out to me the most were definitely Fire Dancer and Pot of Gold . I experienced no creasing after 12+ hours of wear on all shades and each of them had solid opacity on the lid and didn’t require constant layering. These are a definite winner!

The tarte Chrome Paint Shadow Pots can be purchased at sephora.ca for $27 CAD each or on sephora.com for $22 USD .

Beautiful colours,i like it

Yeah they’re stunning!

I always WANT to use pigments, but then I’m like ugghhhh it’s such a mess and bother to go through the hassle of it all.

Fire Dancer is seriously unreal. I hope they release more shades like it!

I wish they weren’t packed inside glass. I carry 6 shades in my kit and it gets really heavy with everything else. Do you think they will dry out if I transfer them to a regular eyeshadow pan and put them in my palette?

Oh interesting… I’m not sure to be honest. You could probably put them in sealed plastic containers and not worry about it, but I have no idea how emollient these would stay in an open pan. I understand how glass packaging gets heavy though! That’d be a lot to carry when you add it up over many products!

Did you use a particular primer with these? Thanks for the review – wasn’t quite sure how to use mine before I found it! Ebony x

None in particular – just a regular eyeshadow primer!

I want this shimmer

Tarte Chrome Paint Shadow Pot Review and Swatches

I’m back!

If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, my family just recently had a big move from the States back to Australia, so it was pretty hectic especially with two highly active toddlers around. So please excuse my absence over the past month or so!

Anyway, I’m so excited to finally be back here and to start this off, I’d like to give you a review of something that’s been on top of my favorites list for a while – the Tarte Chrome Paint Shadow Pot, which I think deserves a bit more hype in the Insta-world. Can’t believe people haven’t been talking about these enough!

Check out my Tarte Chrome Paint Shadow Pot Review and Swatches below.

These Chrome Paint Pots are basically cream shadows with a chrome, highly metallic finish and they can be used by itself, as a top coat over eyeshadow/primer, or even as a base for powder eyeshadows.

I love the range of colors they have – neutrals, darks, and brights.

It may be a bit confusing because Ulta has 6 shades, including a limited edition gold shade called Pot of Gold; Sephora has 5 (every color available at Ulta, except Pot of Gold); and the Tarte website has 9 (everything at Ulta, plus Frosè, Sun Drenched and Beach Bae).

I purchased five shades from Ulta, and they are:

• Park Ave Princess (Metallic Bronze)
• Martini (Metallic Bronzed Olive)
• Pot of Gold (Metallic Gold)
• Fire Dancer (Metallic Burgundy)
• Steel The Show (Metallic Steel Navy)

I skipped out on Top Yatch (Metallic Champagne) as I already have plenty of champagne cream shadows in my stash.

I really like all five of these colors, especially Martini and Park Ave Princess – they’re all incredibly opaque and bright, but sadly not all of them were smooth and blendable.

These are creamy and smooth, sometimes it almost feels kinda wet because it’s so creamy.

I love that no brush is needed to apply them. The warmth of our fingers actually warm up and melt the products so it blends better on the lids.

However, I find Pot of Gold to be incredibly flakey. While I was putting it on, I literally had gold flakes crumble down on to my cheeks. Fire Dance was a bit flakey too, but I’m glad none of the others were.

I never use eye primer on a daily basis (time constraints, lol #momlife) and these lasted for about 5-6 hours on its own (no other eyeshadow on top, or under) before it showed signs of fading. It stayed on the entire day, it just lost its sparkle and metallic effect halfway through the day. However, I believe it would be able to last for much longer with primer.

It’s not mind blowing, of course, but while it’s there on the lids – it’s so incredibly gorgeous!

They’re packaged in transparent glass with a chrome gold screw/twist top lids and I have no complaints about them as they look so elegant and beautiful, but also serve their purpose really well. Sturdy, substantial, and the twist top screws on very tightly so the products don’t dry out easily.

My Chanel Ombre eyeshadows with similar packaging (and similar product) have all dried out! I just hope these ones will be tight enough to last me a few years.

FINAL VERDICT

Although longevity isn’t their strong suit, I was so blown away by the pigmentation and creaminess of these shadow pots.

They  are  pricey, but you do get 3 g/0.11 oz of product with glass jar packaging and these are so much more intensely pigmented than Colourpop Super Shock shadows. If you’re wanting to try one shade first, I highly recommend Park Ave Princess, Martini,  or Steel The Show. I’ve been using Park Ave Princess the most, and I think it’s perfect for a quick makeup look!

Have you tried these before? Which one’s your favorite? 😉
