Destiny
Lethal Cosmetics Destiny 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($27.00 for 0.34 oz.) includes six new eyeshadows that have joined the brand’s permanent range, so they can also be purchased individually (price varies from $6 to $7 each), or in the pre-made palette form (as shown here). The mattes were a little more powdery with two shades being prone to sheerness and were harder to build up fully, while the shimmers were pigmented, blendable, and lovely to work with.
Ingredients
Archetype
Archetype is a soft pink with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color coverage with a soft, lightly powdery texture that had a touch of fallout when initially applied but blended out beautifully. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview
$6.00/0.06 oz. – $100.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have “extreme pigmentation” and “effortless blendability” … “that [will] last all day.” There are two primary finishes: mattes and metallics, and the latter can also be used wet.
The matte finish has semi-opaque to opaque color coverage with moderate powderiness; it’s a formula that is best used with a lighter hand. There was light fallout with some shades, though not at all, and they were blendable for the most part. Even with a light hand, there was still a bit of powderiness present–the brand did warn about using less with their formula–in the pan.
There were a few darker shades that had a tendency to sheer out when applied or did not apply as evenly, especially when layered over a lighter shade but most of the mid-tone and lighter shades were easy to apply and blend out. As a result, I found myself having better results by going dark to light rather than light to dark (which is more in line with how I typically work).
The metallic finish ranged from creamier, denser, and a bit thicker to softer, dense but still a little powdery (usually the lighter, more white-based shades). They were mostly opaque to fully opaque in a single layer, so they didn’t need to be applied with a wet brush to achieve coverage or adhesion. I found that some of the more powdery, shimmery shades were more flattering on the lid when used with a fingertip or a dampened brush, though.
The matte eyeshadows tended to wear around eight hours on me before fading, while the shimmer shades lasted eight to eight and a half hours on me.

Evoke
Evoke is a rich, medium pink base with warmer undertones and brighter, aqua-to-blue duochrome shift and a metallic finish. It was richly pigmented with a soft, lightly creamy texture that was more loosely pressed and featured chunkier shimmer. I’d recommend pressing it on or using a fingertip to apply it to ensure that the product went on evenly and to minimize fallout (slight though it was). This shade showed signs of fading after eight and a half hours of wear.

Onset
Onset is a pale pink with neutral undertones and a matte finish. It had medium pigmentation, which was somewhat buildable, but it was best applied over an eyeshadow primer to give it something to grip on to. The texture was soft, lightly powdery, and thinner compared to some of the brand’s other mattes. It lasted well for seven hours before fading noticeably.

Astral
Astral is bright white base with an iridescent pink and violet shimmer that gave it a metallic finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single layer, which adhered evenly to bare skin. The texture was lightly emollient, which helped give the sparkles/shimmer particles something to bind with so this shade wasn’t prone to fallout. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading a bit.

Eclipse
Eclipse is a light-medium purple with cooler undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-sheer color coverage, which was somewhat buildable when applied over an eyeshadow base. The consistency was soft, blendable but moderately powdery, so there was some fallout to contend with during application. It lasted well for seven and a half hours before fading visibly.
