Auric Entice Smoke Reflect Eye Shadow Duo ($ 39.00 for 0.23 oz.) Is a new limited edition powder and cream eye shadow duo that features a sparkling, white gold powder eye shadow paired with a rich, olive green cream eye shadow. The two products performed well and lived up to the brand’s demands; they harmonized particularly well with one another, but worked both alone and in layers.

Entice (powder)
Entice (powder) is a very light white gold with an initially softer gold sheen, which changes to a lighter, darker yellow gold depending on the angle, paired with larger, sparkling spots on a transparent base. The consistency felt smooth, slightly softening without being too tight or too loosely pressed into the pan, which made it easier to work with a dry or wet brush and fingertips.
The transparent base helped it as a topper – its intended use – and it harmonized particularly well with the duo’s cream eye shadow. It had a medium to semi-opaque color coverage, which was more transparent when used dry and more pigmented when used wet, which corresponded to the marketing. This shade lasted a good eight and a half hours with a slight fallout over time.

Formula overview
–
It is said to be a “light-reflecting” eye shadow with “high-shine pearls” that can be used alone or as a topcoat. The brand describes them as “micro-glitter” even though only one of the colors tested contains plastic glitter (PET).
They had more translucent bases, which was as described, but there was a lot of sparkle / shimmer so the result was more medium to opaque depending on the shade. The consistency was a bit drier, overall tighter packed in the pan, and gliding rather than a denser, thicker silicone-like feel (like some more intense metallic formulas these days). One shade was noticeably drier / tighter pressed to the point where it appeared to affect application / coverage compared to the other two shades.
They were applied with minimal fallout and had good adhesion to bare skin, but they are best applied with a fingertip or dampened brush with a pinching / tapping motion for the least amount of fallout and the most even application of product. I found that I had to be careful to fade out the edges with a fluffier, drier brush, as then the chance of fallout was higher. They lasted about eight hours and had light precipitation over time.
Based on the review line-up, they should work both on their own, rather than a touch of glitter, as well as packaged as a standalone powder eyeshadow or dabbed over the matching cream eyeshadow they sit on.

Entice (cream)
Entice (cream) is a rich, blackened olive green with a mixture of lighter, golden olive and a cooler, emerald green micro-shimmer, which gives it a soft, pearly sheen. It had an opaque color release coupled with a smooth, almost mousse-like consistency that was airy, whipped, but not overly soft. It lasted a good 10 hours before I wrinkled a little.

Formula overview
/ 0.17 ounces – $ 0.00 per ounce
It should be “smooth, long-lasting”[ing], [and] Creaseless “cream eyeshadow. The texture was a mix of a traditional cream eyeshadow (which can feel wetter and thinner) and a fluffier, foamy mousse. It was an intensely pigmented formula that didn’t take much product to create to achieve a uniform result product layer on the eye.
They had a moderate dry season; they dried to a more powder-like finish that wasn’t shockproof – I could soften the edges a bit – but they did tend to settle in my fine lines on the inner lid area as I dried, so I had to buff the product out again to balance the product. After I did this, it no longer wrinkled after it dried. If I were to apply and polish the product as a transparent product layer, it was not a problem, as less product was more likely to dry relatively quickly than a more opaque product layer.
The consistency dried out, but wasn’t thick, heavy or inflexible, so it could be combined well with other powder eye shadows (not just the one supplied) and could also be used as an eye shadow base or eyeliner. Aside from the initial wrinkling (which I was able to mix / polish) as it dried out, I didn’t get any wrinkling up to the eight to nine hour mark after it dried.
