Eyeshadow palettes continued to be released in full force throughout 2019, but there were some higher-end single eyeshadows that caught my eye over the year. It was nice to see Pat McGrath singles launch earlier this year with some standout shades like Lapis Luxury and Divine Mink become available. I’ve long been a fan of the more loose/pressed hybrid powder eyeshadow, so I enjoyed Tarte Chrome Paint Shadow Pots, Ciate Marbled Metals, and Touch in Sol Metallist Eyeshadows. MAC Vio-lit might be one of the most gorgeous purple eyeshadows ever released.

With over 2,000 powder eyeshadows (loose and pressed) tested and reviewed (that includes shades found only in palettes) in 2019, there’s a lot to go through! In the under $10 category, the two heavy players are ColourPop and Sydney Grace, both of which have fairly consistent, better-performing formulas and in volume. Sydney Grace in particular as I did the majority of my reviews for the brand in 2019 (only 28 in 2018). These include eyeshadow singles only, whether permanent or limited edition, but they had to be available individually to count toward this list!

Memory can be shockingly selective and sometimes your favorite moments may be tucked away in the recess of your mind. That’s why we love putting this recap together because it perfectly distills 365 days into a snapshot that can jolt your memory back to life. Continue on to get a look at what we captured in 2019. From unforgettable concerts, places and people — let’s see if we can clear the cobwebs just in time for 2020. PeopleDenver has no shortage of interesting characters. This year alone, we met everyone from alien singers to mermaids, witches, forest bathers and of course a Colfax legend. But beyond these mythical sounding creatures, we also took time to speak to local politicians, protestors, artists and more. All of them make up what we continually know as Denver. Click to view slideshow.PlacesThe Mile High City is changing. Some of that change is hard to see while others are impossible to ignore. This year, the change was more visible than ever. From record-breaking weather events to a state-of-the-art music venue and plenty of fancy new restaurants and fresh street art in between — few years have more vibrantly different as 2019. Click to view slideshow.ConcertsThis year, there were over 6,500 concerts in Denver and we, in some capacity, wrote about them all. So you can imagine narrowing down our best concert photos wasn’t easy. But as always, some performances (and the photographic evidence) are unforgettable. Click to view slideshow.FashionEvery day, we try to prove one thing wrong — that Denver doesn’t have style. Below is the proof that our style is just like our altitude, undeniable. Click to view slideshow.Food and BoozeThere’s an art to food photography that goes beyond #foodporn. Because not every dish has an oozing over-easy egg or piles of bacon to make your mouth water.

It will also be available at Sephora (unsure of exact date) per the brand’s replies on Instagram. Those who have more extensive collections featuring the brand’s palette may feel like this is too similar to past releases, though they did not seem to be exact repeats but are certainly similar to some shades released previously. All six shades performed well; they were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing and were comparable to past releases. ![]()

![]() Eternal OpulenceEternal Opulence is a soft peach with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had excellent color coverage in a single layer with a smooth, finely-milled texture that was more firmly pressed into the pan but was not stiff or difficult to pick up with a brush. It wore well for nine and a half hours before fading slightly. Top Dupes
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.

![]() TranquilityTranquility is a soft, orange-brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow had opaque pigmentation that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out easily without losing its intensity. The consistency was soft, lightly dusty in the pan, but it didn’t give me trouble with fallout nor did it sheer out too readily. It lasted well for nine hours before I noticed signs of fading.

![]() Lotus LuxeLotus Luxe is a brighter, medium red with subtle, warm undertones in its base and cooler pink and warm gold sparkle throughout. The texture was slightly denser and more firmly-pressed into the pan, though after two uses, it seemed slightly softer and more yielding but never seemed difficult to work with (I only sensed that firmness by touch). It had opaque color coverage that applied well to bare skin with a smooth, even lay down of product. It stayed on nicely for nine and a half hours with slight fallout over time. Top Dupes

![]() ProsperityProsperity is a deep, red-brown with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was intensely pigmented with a soft, lightly powdery texture that was finely-milled and velvety. I didn’t experience fallout during application, but I would recommend tapping off excess and using a lighter hand for those more cautious of over-application as a little went a long way with this shade. The eyeshadow blended out well along the edges and wore well for nine hours before fading a bit. Top Dupes

![]() Moon PhaseMoon Phase is a deep, rosy copper with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic finish. It had an incredibly creamy feel to it that was soft, more yielding but wasn’t prone to fallout; it was one of those textures where it was easy to pick up more product than necessary and could really be pulled and pulled for pigment in a single swipe. I’d recommend using less than you think you need to get to know this shade. It applied well to bare skin and lasted well for nine and a half hours before creasing faintly on me. Top Dupes

Forming the band Glass Cases, the three musicians have found a way to navigate the real world together, sharing their experiences through cathartic song-writing. In their upcoming debut album In Between, the trio shares their post-grad endeavors with the world, sitting down with 303 Magazine to talk about their music and the inspirations behind their band’s work. All three band members were introduced to music early, but throughout college, Van Keulen and Seifert’s main passion was soccer — music was a side hobby. However, once they graduated and started looking at their options, pursuing music together seemed like a natural fit. “Austin and I always played guitar and bounced off each other for years as we were growing up as sort of like our second hobby with soccer being first priority,” Van Keulen said. “The music built over time, and Austin was always a lyricist as well and that influenced me.” If any pressure arises or something doesn’t go their way, the band deals with it by going back to their main reasons for pursuing music. “You kind of have to go back to your roots — why you started writing songs in the first place, and who are they really for,” Van Keulen said. “The answer to that question is for me is — for us, for a form of myself and then to help other people, you know, to view the world in a different way or just to listen to music.” “Certain things they should stay the way they are. You ought to be able to stick them in one of those big Glass Cases and just leave them alone. I know that’s impossible, but it’s too bad anyway.” — J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye The band cites Twenty One Pilots as one of their largest inspirations. While sharing similar set-ups and a smaller band in common with the mega-star alt-rock duo, Glass Cases truly relates to Twenty One Pilots with their unique sound, dubbed “uke-synth.” Though the band initially started with Van Keulen and Seifert dedicated to guitar, once Van Keulen picked up a ukulele, the sound identity of Glass Cases truly began to form. He explained the process to us. “We started making songs on both guitar and ukulele when we were just starting out. Ukulele just kept allowing us to make more creative songs especially. We were like, dang, these are good songs and very unique and it stuck. We couldn’t make a sound that we liked as much on a guitar, not because we weren’t good at it, but it just fell into place. And it’s continued to, you know?” Now, moving into the upcoming year, the band plans to share their hard work and passion with the world with the release of their full-length album. The subject matter of their songs all come from personal experiences they had while in college and now, navigating the “real world” post-graduation. Greene explained his experience with life since graduating and how it differs from the way things used to work in the previous generation. “For me, one of the themes that kind of comes out of the album is the messiness of life, going through college, there’s kind of an expectation that you’re told that, you get your degree, land a job and everything goes smoothly. I’ve had three jobs since college in the last two years. It’s organized chaos, where expectations don’t always match reality. You know, I think that’s common for a lot of people, especially at our age. It used to be, with our parents, you get a career, do it for 25 years and retire. But I was looking at statistics now and the average person graduating now stays with their first job for a year and a half before doing something different. I think just trying to cope with that climate and understanding how to navigate that is a big part [of songwriting] for me.” For Seifert, a song that stands out the most on the album is “Nights Awake.” The reality behind growing up in today’s social media-reliant world strikes him as strange. He describes it as being similar to addiction to nicotine. He, himself, does not consider himself to be a social media person — Van Keulen joked that he only posted about his engagement a month after it happened. However, being surrounded by it, he still understands the draw. “We like to just take a picture and say to the world, ‘This is who I am having a good time, all of the time.’ You see that with other people too and it’s just kind of an expectation people have. I don’t know, it’s just a weird time. But some people have a lot of pressure to do this and so resonate with the experience. It’s like nicotine. We just want to get a like and then we want to post another picture so we can get another like and just continuously do this so we can get a hit of nicotine. It’s nonstop.” As the album release nears, the band hopes that their album will make a positive impact on their listeners. In some ways, the band sees this album as a time capsule — a record that people can go back to time and time again and reflect. Their main goal is to provide people who resonate with their music with some kind of hope. Seifert explained, “With this new album, we want to reach the ‘Inbetweeners’ so they can resonate — so they can keep going, won’t forget where they’re at, but they can keep going.” Keep up with Glass Cases on Facebook, Instagram and Spotify. Get tickets to their Local Set album release at Red Rocks on March 21st.

It’s a short ‘n’ sweet, cohesive palette of more muted, slightly yellower-toned neutrals than really warm, red/orange-toned neutrals, though I wouldn’t classify it as cool-toned. Seed is the closest to cool-toned, but Golden Flesh and Faye are hard to read as anything but warm-toned to my eye. The eyeshadows performed well with excellent pigmentation, blendability, and longevity. ![]()

![]() Golden Flesh (68M)Golden Flesh (68M) is a medium, coppery brown with warm undertones and a bright, metallic finish. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, lightly creamy consistency that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out well along the edges. I felt like it was a bit deeper and richer in color than the last version I tested of it (in another five-pan palette). It lasted well for nine hours before fading faintly. Top Dupes
Formula Overview$29.00/0.08 oz. - $362.50 Per Ounce The majority of the brand's eyeshadows are quite pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing. The eyeshadows have improved over time, particularly with respect to longevity (without a primer). The original formula often creased on me within seven to eight hours, whereas the more current formula wears eight to nine hours with fading (instead of full-on creasing). The more matte finishes tend to be a bit more velvety, substantial, and less dry/powdery compared to prior iterations. The metallic finish is often the creamiest, slightly denser in feel, but has excellent pigmentation, adhesion, and blendability. The sparkling shades can have some fallout, depending on how they're applied and how sparkly they are, so they sometimes work better with fingertips or a dampened brush; they can also run sheerer compared to other finishes. Cream-Powders are the more unique formulation and tend to have firmer, almost stiff, consistencies and more semi-opaque, watercolor-esque coverage. They are longer-wearing, but they can take a few uses to learn how to use. This formula has also improved compared to when it first debuted--it is a bit more yielding now.
