City Decay Boogie Many years Eyeshadow Palette Assessment & Swatches

Boogie

Disco Diva

Disco Diva is a bright, very light yellow with moderate, warm undertones and a metallic finish. The texture was slightly thicker, which had a tendency to emphasize skin texture if I wasn’t careful to smooth it out–preferably with a fingertip or a dampened brush–but it had opaque color coverage. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading visibly.

Outlandish

Outlandish is a medium-dark brown with soft, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied well to bare skin and picked up nicely with a dry brush. The texture was smooth, not too dense nor too softly-pressed into the pan, and blendable. It wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

I Like It

I Like It is a light-medium brown with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was soft, finely-milled, and blendable, though it was lightly powdery in the pan. It had opaque color payoff that lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Glitter Scene

Glitter Scene has a translucent base and is packed with iridescent, small-particle glitter that effectively looked like a silvery rainbow. The texture was very emollient–wet to the touch–and had decent dispersion and more semi-opaque “coverage” as a result. When I tested it as a cheek highlighter, it stayed in place fairly with with light migration over an eight-hour period.

It contains plastic (PET) glitter, though I did not see any warning or callout about it (this is not the first incident nor first brand to use glitter and no longer have a warning that it’s not for the eye area!).

Club Hop

Club Hop is a medium peach with strong, warm orange undertones and a frosted finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation–the shimmer came through more noticeably than the base color, which let some skin show through–with a soft, more loosely-pressed texture that had a bit of excess product kicked up in the pan. The product applied fairly evenly and had only a smidgen of fallout during application. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Turn the Beat

Turn the Beat is a blackened green base with lighter, emerald green pearl and micro-sparkle. The texture was drier and thinner, which resulted in more faded, uneven coverage in a single layer. It was buildable to some degree, but I’d recommend using it over a primer and pressing/patting it into place to get truer-to-pan intensity. You’ll want to do eyes first, though, has there were a lot of flyaway particles as I built it up and blended out the edges. It stayed on decently for seven and a half hours before fading noticeably.
