I snagged NYX Prismatic Shadows on clearance after hearing hype about their metallic pop, starting with Liquid Gold and Mermaid, and they've punched way above their drugstore price for bold lid looks. The foil-like texture packs insane one-swipe pigment that transforms simple daytime makeup into something smoky and electric, especially when patted on with a finger over primer. These singles feel buttery soft right out of the pan, blending like a dream without fallout—Mermaid's teal shimmer scales up my hazel eyes dramatically, while Liquid Gold delivers a bronzy glow that mimics pricier foils. They're not as blendable as high-end metallics for cut creases, needing a damp brush or primer to avoid sheering out on oily lids, but the payoff shines through all day. I apply dry for subtle sheen or wet for intense drama; Fireball's red packs heat but grips better finger-packed, lasting 6-8 hours through sweat without creasing when set. Packaging is cute with that bow clasp, though they're prone to shattering if tossed in a bag—store flat to avoid heartbreak.​ I'd repurchase Mermaid for endless mermaid vibes, but skip if you hate rebuilding softer shades; overall, a steal for metallic addicts on a budget.

These like beauties are the unsung hero of NYX eyeshadows. The pigmentation payoff is outstanding! The application is smooth and goodness, the reflective shimmer! l used the shade Mermaid on my inner lid to give the look some iridescence and dimension! The only reason I give this product a 4 instead 5 is because they're so soft & silk it makes them easy to break. Just don't drop it and you'll love it! IG: @ hellochrissmakeup
