Eternal Eden is designed to create soft and romantic rosy-toned eye looks. The quad has four shades: “Pink Mystique,” a luminous light pink shimmer for highlighting and adding brightness to the eyelids, “Temptation,” a mid-toned pink matte ideal as a base color, “Earthly Delight,” a mid-toned taupe matte shade for transitions and adding depth, and “Forbidden Fruit,” a rich plum metallic for adding intensity and drama to the outer corners.
The shades are intensely pigmented, with good color payoff. The matte shades are smooth, for easy application and blending. The metallics have a creamy texture that applies evenly and adheres well to the eyelids, for a luminous finish.
These eyeshadows have good longevity when used with an eyeshadow primer. They adhere well and maintain their vibrancy throughout the day without creasing or fading significantly.
Final Thoughts
Eternal Eden is a versatile palette with good quality and performance. It offers intense pigmentation, a variety of finishes, and easy usability, making it suitable for both everyday wear and special events. It’s relatively easy to use for a Pat McGrath quad and has a good balance of mattes and shimmers, so you don’t have to pair it with another palette to create a full look.
Overall, it creates very pretty pink looks, but it doesn’t have the “wow” factor of other Pat McGrath eyeshadow palettes.
