Sunlit Seduction
Pat McGrath Sunlit Seduction Mothership Eyeshadow Palette ($128.00 for 0.68 oz.) is a new, seemingly-permanent addition to the Mothership range. It features three matte eyeshadows along with three standard shimmers and four “special” shades. Those special shades are high-sparkle, flakier/shinier, and have a chunkier (but a very high impact finish) feel compared to past Blitz/Astral shades (that have been domed). They are the same type of formula as seen in the Moonlit Seduction palette.
I think the formula should have come out with its own naming convention(s) as they aren’t really like the Blitz/Astrals of the past, which isn’t a bad thing, but they are pretty dissimilar, so it would be better to set expectations that they are different! They are more prone to fallout and tend to be best applied with a dampened brush or paired with an adhesive spray/tacky base to minimize fallout, improve adhesion and evenness, and ensure longevity. The brand’s new eyeshadow primer did not really do a lot for me with respect to fallout or adhesion; it was the type of primer that worked well with most traditional eyeshadows but didn’t go the extra mile with respect to tackiness.
Subjectively, I had issues with the shades muddying on me; the three mattes ran together, while the shimmers didn’t offer a lot of differentiation so I think this palette is more suited for someone who does one or two shades at a time or will pair this with another palette.

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.

Blitz Crimson Ecstasy had more of a copper-tinged base packed with red, copper, and pinky-red sparkle.

Even when I tried using it as an eyeliner paired with a setting spray, it was rough-looking.

Astral Gilded Aura had more of a transparent base that was chocked full of copper, pink, and gold sparkle throughout. It had a shiny, almost wet-like finish with both finer and larger sparkles.
- Mostly opaque pigmentation pressed on but sheered out somewhat
- Lightly emollient, somewhat more loosely-pressed
- Had some fallout during application, best applied with a tacky base
- Base color was long-wearing (10 hours) but had noticeable fallout after seven hours of wear

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.
