Springtime in Paris
Jouer Springtime in Paris Eyeshadow Palette ($40.00 for 0.59 oz.) contains 12 eyeshadows with several neutrals along with a few pops of color. Jouer’s eyeshadow formula is described as “highly pigmented,” “crease resistant,” and “long-wear[ing].” Some of the eyeshadows were richly pigmented, blendable, and lasted for around eight hours, while some shades had more of a medium color payoff or were powdery to work with and lasted six to seven hours. I noticed that the “mattes” in the palette often had a faint sheen, though one was noticeably shimmery on. For me, the quality was inconsistent across the palette, so any looks created ultimately faded unevenly or had issues where one shade applied beautifully but the next was uneven.

Crème
Crème is a light beige with warm undertones and a satin sheen. It was described as matte, but there was distinctive shimmer in it, even when applied to the lid. The consistency was soft, on the powdery side, but when pressed onto the lid, it was quite pigmented and did not appear dry–it seemed to “melt” a little. This shade lasted for seven and a half hours on me.

Mauve
Mauve is a medium-dark mauve with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. The consistency was somewhat dusty in the pan, which resulted in excess product getting kicked up in the pan but made the eyeshadow more prone to sheering out on the lid as well. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which was buildable to opaque coverage with two layers. This shade wore nicely for seven and a half hours on me.

Aubergine
Aubergine is a medium, mauvy purple with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. There was very faint shimmer in the eyeshadow, but it wasn’t noticeable on the lid, so it functioned as a matte texture in practice. It had semi-opaque color payoff that applied decently to bare skin but would be easier to work with over a primer. The eyeshadow lasted for seven and a half hours before fading.

True Gold
True Gold is a light-medium, yellow gold with warm undertones and a frosted finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff paired with a dusty, drier texture that seemed more loosely pressed in the pan, which made it messier to work with on the lid. The color sheered out very quickly, so it was hard to build up coverage. On me, it stayed on for seven hours.

Camel
Camel is a medium, peachy brown with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin. The consistency was smooth, slightly denser in the pan so it was not powdery, but it was still blendable on the lid. I noticed signs of fading after seven and a half hours of wear.

Midnight
Midnight is a muted, navy blue with cool undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-sheer pigmentation that was buildable to medium coverage, but the consistency was incredibly powdery, which made the eyeshadow sheer out and difficult to build up. It started to fade on me after six hours of wear.

Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a medium-dark brown with warm, reddish undertones and a bronzy sheen. It nearly opaque color payoff, but the texture was rather dusty, which made it messy to use in the pan and to apply, as there was always a bit of fallout (even after tapping my brush off). The eyeshadow started to fade noticeably after the seventh hour of wear.

Ash Brown
Ash Brown is a blackened brown with neutral undertones and a semi-matte finish. There was a faint amount of shimmer strewn through the eyeshadow, but it wasn’t visible on the lid in practice. The texture was soft, fairly blendable, but dustier and prone to sheering out when used, so the pigmentation was medium to semi-opaque, at best. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me.

Amethyst
Amethyst is a medium-dark berry with subtle, cool undertones and a satin sheen. It had medium pigmentation that was somewhat buildable (up to semi-opaque coverage). The texture was drier and dusty, which resulted in a more uneven application. The eyeshadow stayed on well for six and a half hours on me.

Slate
Slate is a blackened gray with subtle, blue undertones and a mostly matte finish. The eyeshadow had good pigmentation, though it was shy of truly opaque coverage. It had a soft consistency that wasn’t too soft or too firm in the pan, so it applied evenly to bare skin without sheering out too easily but remained blendable. This shade wore nicely for eight hours on me.
