Star Aura

Charlotte Tilbury Star Aura Eyeshadow Quad Charlotte Tilbury Star Aura Eyeshadow Quad ($53.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a new, limited edition warm-toned neutral quad that features a wet/dry eyeshadow formula. It had more of a gel-powder hybrid feel to me, which I find is quite consistent between various brands and excels at having a smoother, more seamless finish on skin and no powderiness.

The textures are firmer, a bit denser, though not stiff as they remained blendable and easy to work with. They do not have to be used with a dampened brush to apply evenly or to have coverage, so the formula was versatile, though I felt like the color story could have used a little more contrast.

Star Aura (Prime)

Star Aura (Prime) is a brighter, medium peachy gold with strong, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The texture was slightly softer compared to other shades in the quad, though it was still on the smoother, denser, and firmer side (so no powderiness at all) but had enough give to pick up just fine with a dry brush using heavy-medium pressure. The eyeshadow had rich pigmentation applied dry as well as with a dampened brush with the latter giving me a more intense finish. It lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.
