Pretty Birdie
Pretty Vulgar Pretty Birdie Eyeshadow Palette ($35.00 for 0.55 oz.) contains 12 eyeshadows in an arrangement of brighter, more colorful hues in a variety of finishes. The palette is made out of sturdy cardboard and has a large mirror underneath the lid. The eyeshadow formula is supposed to be “ultra-smooth, color-rich, blendable” that is “long-wearing” and “supremely creamy.” The palette was fairly good–not perfect but surprisingly workable without a primer–with semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation, slightly dusty textures, and six to eight-hour wear. If you normally wear eyeshadow primer, a lot of the issues iron themselves out.

Free
Free is a light, white gold with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. The texture was soft, slightly looser in the pan, which caused some excess product to get kicked up in the pan used as well as the eyeshadow to sheer out a bit on the lid. It had good pigmentation, which was buildable, that applied evenly to bare skin. This shade started to fade noticeably after seven hours of wear.

Brilliant
Brilliant is a muted, medium-dark purple with neutral-to-cool undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. The pigmentation was great, while the texture was a bit looser in the pan, which caused some fallout during application if I wasn’t very careful. It was blendable, though, and adhered evenly to bare skin. It started to fade on me after seven and a half hours of wear.

Fancy
Fancy is a bright, light-medium aqua blue with cooler undertones and warmer, golden shimmer. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied decently bare skin but would need a primer underneath it to really perform well. The texture was firmer in the pan, but it was still surprisingly blendable in practice. I noticed that the color seemed to fade a bit initially, and then hang on from there for seven hours before further fading.

Snitch
Snitch is a muted, medium-dark red with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was drier and almost gritty–like it wasn’t finely-milled–which has been something I experience frequently with red, powder eyeshadows, so it wasn’t a surprise. It had medium, buildable pigmentation, and it blended out just fine when I applied it to my lid. The eyeshadow wore well for seven hours before fading.

Formation
Formation is a muted, medium-dark copper brown with warm, red undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with two layers. The eyeshadow felt smooth, not too thin or too dense, and blendable without being overly dusty in the pan, though it had a little bit of excess product that kicked up in the pan when used. This shade lasted well for seven and a half hours on me.

Nevermore
Nevermore is a deep, bluish teal with cool undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow was nearly opaque in a single layer, and it was easily built up to opaque coverage by just patting the smallest amount on top of the initial layer. It had a soft, smooth, and blendable texture that wasn’t too firmly pressed into the pan nor was it powdery in the pan. It wore nicely for seven and a half hours on me.
