Melt Cosmetics Fire Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Fire

Melt Cosmetics Fire Bad Side Zodaic Eyeshadow Palette ($38.00 for 0.28 oz.) released earlier this month as an eight-shade, sunset-hued color story. The matte formula actually seemed less dense/intense compared to Melt’s normal matte formula, but they were easier to control and build up. The shimmers were also less firmly-pressed than I’d typically associate with Melt, which made them improved.

Hot Head

Hot Head is a slightly muted, medium-dark red with warm undertones and a matte finish. It managed to be muted yet still more vibrant but still looked like more of a washed out red compared to true reds.
