Air

Melt Cosmetics Air Bad Side Zodiac Eyeshadow Palette was introduced earlier this month as an eight-shade color story with a coral/orange base and bursts of purple. The matte formula appeared less dense/intense than Melt’s standard matte formula, but it was simpler to manipulate and build up. The shimmers were also less tightly pressed than expected from Melt, which improved them.
