Celestial Divinity
Pat McGrath Celestial Divinity Mega MTHRSHP Eyeshadow PalettePat McGrath Celestial Divinity Mega MTHRSHP Eyeshadow Palette ($78.00 for 0.684 oz.) is a new, limited edition mega-sized palette with 18 shades that they’re between a dime and quarter in size and are most comparable in size (weight) to last year’s Eye Ecstasy palettes. A typical full-sized eyeshadow is around 0.05 oz., and each of the eyeshadows in the palette is 0.038 oz., so there’s plenty of product. They are about half the size or less than the brand’s regular MTHRSHPs and original Mothership palettes. The individual pans are large enough that there are no issues getting a variety of eye brushes into each shade.
12 of the eyeshadows–the two left-most columns and two right-most columns–are shades from the Star Wars MTHRSHP palettes released last year, which were very quick to sell out and one of the more frustrating Pat McGrath launches to-date. I’m exceedingly happy to see the brand bring them back in some form–I love that people who missed out will be able to get the shades if that was what appealed to them. I’d rather more people enjoy it than less; those who paid more or put in more time for the original release have already had the benefit of using those palettes for almost a year now.
The quality of the palette was fantastic–there were no duds and only a couple of shades with anything really “negative” to mention–but almost every shade was intensely pigmented, had good adhesion, blended out readily, and had good wear. Lunar Champagne was the “weakest” to me, as it was chunkier and more loosely-pressed, so it applied better with a fingertip or a dampened brush to minimize fallout.
The quality, texture, and colors were very consistent with the past releases of the shades, too, which is always nice to see. I know that my biggest concern with this palette and its price point (I had guessed closer to $125 to compete with Natasha Denona’s 28-pan midi from last year) and whether there’d be a drop in quality, but I’m thrilled to report that it was extremely consistent (more so than a lot of brands, actually!).
I think the palette is one of the less cohesive color stories released by the brand, which is part of what makes pre-made palettes more compelling to purchase. It’s more of a complementary palette than a standalone as it is dominated by shimmer–only three shades are matte–but would work well paired with your favorite matte eyeshadows.
Like a lot of holiday releases, this seems geared toward getting new customers or passerbys of the brand–someone who pays attention but doesn’t usually end up purchasing. The packaging should feel “better” than the Eye Ecstasy packaging, and I didn’t find it particularly cheap or different than a typical cardboard palette. The magnetic closure felt stronger than average, and I imagine this is why the eyeshadows are positioned closer to the lid as well.
Of course, the packaging is a massive departure from the original Mothership packaging, but it is significantly cheaper, too… everything I’ve heard and learned from the industry is that packaging is often the excessive cost of a product. If you’re big on packaging, then you might be disappointed, but if you’re all about the actual product inside, the palette is consistent with the brand’s formula across various palettes and releases and well-worth consideration if you enjoy the formula (and don’t have the shades yet) or have always wanted to try the brand.

Saturnalia
Saturnalia is a brighter, medium-dark red with warmer undertones and flecks of pink and gold micro-sparkle over a softer sheen. The eyeshadow had opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly to bare skin and blended out without issue. The texture was slightly firmer and denser in the pan compared to other shades in the palette but not in a way that made it hard to pick up or to use–and I’d say the lower-level shimmer shades tend to be a bit firmer relative to the more metallic shades in general. It lasted well for 10 hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
$25.00/0.04 oz. - $625.00 Per Ounce
Pat McGrath's eyeshadows are, generally, supposed to be "super-saturated" with "creamy, soft textures" and "extreme blendability and adherence without creasing." A lot of how well they perform (and to some degree, how they are supposed to be applied and marketed) depends on the type of shades, but by and large, the eyeshadows perform very much as they are described.
The brand released single eyeshadows in March 2019, and the shades have been consistent in quality, look, and feel. They are not removable, unfortunately, so one would have to depot like any other single eyeshadow--I tried using tweezers and lifting on several shades to no avail. The lids are held closed by a weak magnet, so I'm not sure they're as secure as most single eyeshadow compacts in my stash--I wish it really locked in, but there's definitely a magnet that pulls the lid down if it's within 2mm of the base.
The mattes are velvety, blendable, and dense without being thick or too heavy, and they have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation where a little can go a long way with some of the deeper and richer hues. The satin and pearl finishes are smooth, lightly creamy, and firmer but not dense or thick with good pigmentation, blendability, and easy application. The more metallic finishes tend to be softer, creamy, and smooth with a bit more denseness and no powderiness. The sparkly/glittery shades are often designed to be applied wet for richer coverage or intensity, which has largely been my experience. Most of the shades last between eight and nine hours.

Bronze Nebula
Bronze Nebula is a medium-dark copper with strong, warm reddish-bronze undertones and a golden shimmer that gave it a soft, metallic finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that was soft and yielding without being powdery or too loosely-pressed in the pan. I actually felt the texture was improved over the Star Wars’ release of it. This shade wore well for 10 hours before fading noticeably.

Major Mahogany
Major Mahogany is a deeper, reddish-brown with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was soft, very lightly powdery but was blendable and had enough substance for it to deliver opaque coverage that didn’t sheer out too readily or lose its intensity when applied and blended out. It stayed on nicely for 10 hours before fading visibly.

Lunar Champagne
Lunar Champagne is a light gold with strong, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage with a slightly drier, more loosely-pressed texture, so there was light fallout when I worked with it using a dry brush. With a fingertip or a dampened brush, fallout wasn’t a concern, and the coverage did ramp up to nearly opaque. It lasted well for 10 hours but had a touch of fallout over time.

Violet Void is a deep, violet purple with cooler undertones and more of a blackened base with lighter, brighter shimmer and micro-sparkle. The eyeshadow had opaque color payoff that adhered well to bare skin and blended out easily. The texture was soft, smooth, and dense without being too firmly-pressed into the pan; it seemed a touch more yielding and better compared to the original release.

Odyssey
Odyssey has a medium, warmer plum base with a sparkling finish that shifted subtly from lavender to copper with contrasting shimmer. It had opaque color coverage paired with a soft, smooth consistency that felt slightly more loosely-pressed compared to some metallics in the palette so it needed to be used with slightly less pressure to avoid fallout. This shade wore well for 10 hours before creasing faintly.

Fuchsia Shock
Fuchsia Shock is a medium-dark berry with strong, cool undertones and a pearly sheen. It had intense pigmentation that adhered well to bare skin with a smooth, even lay down of product. The texture was dense without being too stiff or difficult to pick up, and it applied evenly to bare skin. It functioned almost as a “semi-matte” as it had a lot less shine compared to other metallics in the palette. It stayed on well for 10 hours before showing signs of fading.
