THE VERDICT:

Imagic is one of the hidden gems in online beauty stores. I've used a couple of Imagic items and most of them, I like, specifically the cream color palette which I loved using in my avant garde makeup looks.

I recently received their new 16 color eyeshadow palette. The holographic palette is unmistakable and the moment I opened it, I immediately thought of Huda Beauty's Rose Gold palette; it's a good close dupe in terms of colors!

IMagic 16 color eyeshadow palette is a luxe palette composed of 16 eyeshadows in matte, metallic, and semi-metallic shades.

The palette is a hard, board- like material and quite hard to photograph because of the reflective packaging. 

Swatches of the 16 eyeshadows from top to bottom:

1. Cream yellow (matte)
2. Warm muted peach (matte)
3. Copper (metallic intense)
4. Terracota red (matte)
5. Light gold (semi- metallic)
6. Pale lavender (matte)
7. Berry red (metallic)
8. Charcoal brown (matte)
9. Gold (metallic intense)
10. Pale orange (matte)
11. Dirty purple (matte)
12. Hot pink (matte)
13. Yellow gold (metallic intense)
14. Gray taupe (matte)
15. Bronze brown (metallic)
16. Black green (matte)

The eyeshadows are very pigmented, as evident in the swatch. Texture is quite smooth, applies easily, and clings easily on brushes. My favorite are the intense metallic shades with liquid metal- like finish. 

Now let's put the products to the test:

The liquid metal finish gives eyes a glowing effect, but it works best and becomes more prominent if applied right on top of primer/anything creamy instead of powder eyeshadow.

The matte eyeshadows are surprisingly easy to blend and don't leave patches on the lids. As for staying power, the colors stay put and took me a while to remove the swatches from my arm; it stays the whole day if used with an eyeshadow primer.

All in all, this is a pretty good eyeshadow palette. A little expensive, but good overall and has pro quality. Most of the colors and the combination of liquid metal- like and matte eyeshadows reminded me of Huda Beauty Rose Gold eyeshadow palette; I haven't tried the latter palette (I want to in the future!), but for now, I'm good with Imagic 16 color eyeshadow palette!
