Cassandra – Mostly large light green sparkles in a sheer base.Avalon – Deep brown with a matte finish.Luna – Pale bronze with a standard shimmer finish.
Just as with the other medium browns, this looks almost the same on the eye. Juno – Similar to Hera but slightly deeper and redder.Freya – Chunky, sparkly white with a subtle golden sheen.Venus – Yellow gold with a standard shimmer finish.Can be built up but not as deep and rich as you might expect based on how it looks in the pan. Gaia – Blueish green with a matte finish.This can have anywhere from a metallic to an iridescent finish depending on how heavily you apply it. On the eye, you can hardly tell them apart. Hera – Similar to Iris but more pink-toned.Not as reflective as some of the other shimmers. Aura – Cooler brown with standard shimmer finish.Lyssa – Light bronze-y gold shimmer with larger golden sparkles.Iris – Medium warm brown with a matte finish.Pandora – Light gold shimmer with large silver and gold sparkles.Athena – Light brown with strong yellow undertones and a matte finish.Dampen your brush or use a glitter adhesive. Large sparkles within finer green shimmer within a deep matte grey base. Artemis – This is an interesting shade that has what looks like 3 levels to it.Front of palette Back of palette Outer packaging Row 1 Swatches Both primers work well but I found Alter Ego’s to hold up slightly better.
#Alter ego goddess palette pro
I used both Alter Ego’s eyeshadow primer and Nars Pro Prime to test. I tested 3 of my looks and got consistent wear of about 9-10 hours with very minor creasing. I used them but I could have easily gotten away without them. Because the mattes are super bendable, I didn’t find it was necessary to use lighter transition shades or brow bone (skin tone) shades. There are several gold-tone shimmers but I thought they all looked sufficiently different from each other, even to wear together in the same look. I got a bit frustrated with the matte to shimmer ratio partly because three of the mattes are SOO similar to each other once applied to the eye. The ones with more of a fine/uniform texture have much less fallout. I got A LOT of fallout from some of these shades and ended up using a glitter adhesive along with careful tapping off of the excess to keep it to a minimum. The ones with larger particles seem to have less binder in them than Natasha’s do. I wouldn’t describe them as being foiled but they reflect light nicely. They have a good amount of shine to them. There are a variety of different types of shimmers, some with pretty big sparkle particles and some that are very fine and smooth.
#Alter ego goddess palette skin
I would rather have a formula like this where I have to reapply a shade at times rather than a formula that sticks to the skin and refuses to blend.
I did find myself occasionally dusting away color where I didn’t intend to but it wasn’t too problematic. They remind me of the mattes from Lorac, Maybelline, and Covergirl. The mattes feel much more readily blendable and require more building up than the Natasha formula to get a similar level of color payoff. The packaging feels heavier than you would expect for a more affordable/budget product and actually contains removable magnetic pans! Inside the lid is a decent sized, good quality mirror. It contains 13.5 grams / 0.48 oz of product. The Alter Ego Goddess Palette is a 15 pan eyeshadow palette that was created as a “dupe” for the well known Natasha Denona Gold Palette.
