Hello, hello—today I’m diving into the brand new BYREDO Vesuvio 18-pan eyeshadow palette, created by Lucia Pica and inspired by Naples and Mount Vesuvius, where intensity and softness live side by side. I walk you through the packaging (minimal, modern, weighty, very BYREDO), the brand claims (soft and creamy, luminous yet weightless, buildable, and up to 12-hour wear), and then we get into the fun part: full swatches and a real formula breakdown. I’m paying attention to texture, layering, blendability, kickup, fallout, and how these shades actually behave on the eyes. I create five complete looks, hopping around the palette so you can see the “wearable structure” and the artistic side. My big takeaway: the mattes I used were smooth, easy, and not patchy, and a lot of the shimmers layer beautifully without getting muddy—gorgeous for that sunrise vibe or a bold “volcanic pop.” But it wasn’t all perfect: one of the lighter blues gave me trouble and read a bit patchy no matter how I applied it, and I also noticed this formula didn’t always love finger application. Is it worth $115? It’s not an essential everyday neutral palette, but if you love elevated, creative color stories with luxe feel, it’s special.
