Master Metals
Makeup by Mario Master Metals 5-Pan Eyeshadow PaletteMakeup by Mario Master Metals 5-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($48.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a new, five-pan palette featuring a gel-powder formula that can be used dry or wet, though it certainly didn’t need to be used wet to maximize coverage or longevity. The colors appeared a bit richer and more metallic when used with a wet brush, but they were extremely pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing regardless of application method.
In my experience, gel-powder formulas tend to command a higher price point than more traditional powder eyeshadows (e.g. MAC Powder Eyeshadow, which are $18 eac, vs. MAC Extra Dimension Eyeshadows, which are $20 each), it did seem a little more expensive than I would have expected–or I would have expected it to come with at least a trial-sized mixing medium at this price point.

Silver
Silver is a deep silver with a bright, bluish metallic finish that was very brightening. It had opaque pigmentation applied with a dry brush or a wet brush, though it was slightly more metallic and a touch deeper (with seemingly less product) when applied wet.
The consistency smooth to the touch, dense and firm but not stiff or difficult to pick up. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
-
The "gel-powder" formula is supposed to have "intense high coverage and a molten metal payoff." It can be used dry (as-is) or wet, whether with water or the brand's own Master Metal Manipulator (which is effectively a mixing medium). The eyeshadows were intensely pigmented, blendable, and easy to work with and had good wear (eight to nine hours).
Using them with a dampened brush made most shades appear slightly darker and richer while intensifying the metallic finish, but they were very usable dry--just as opaque and still very shiny and metallic. I don't know that I'd really bother using them wet unless one really needed the fluidity of a wetter or more liquid format.
"Gel-powder" should be your cue that the formula is going to have a denser, firmer feel to it--smooth but firmer--so there wasn't any powderiness or excess that got kicked up. You'll want to use more of a medium pressure or a denser brush to pick up product evenly. I also find--and true with this formula--that gel-powder formulas sit more smoothly on my lids as they have a tendency to "melt" and look more seamless.

Gold
Gold is a vibrant, medium-dark gold with moderate, warm yellow undertones and a bright, metallic finish. It was a “cooler” gold compared to many on the market, which tend to lean more orange. The texture was slightly denser and firmer, but smooth and not at all powdery to the touch, and picked up readily with a dry brush.
The eyeshadow yielded full color payoff in a single layer, which applied well to bare skin and diffused readily along the edges without losing its intensity or shine. Dampened application yielded marginally richer color and a brighter sheen. It lasted well for nine hours before fading a bit.

Copper
Copper is a rich, deep copper with strong, warm orange undertones and a metallic finish. It had a lot of depth, which made it darker than most copper eyeshadows that get released, but the shine was intense, which gave it a real glow when applied.
The eyeshadow had intense color payoff in a single layer, which applied with the same level of opacity dry as it did wet. Applying it with a wet brush yielded slightly darker color and a more metallic finish. The texture was smooth to the touch, firmer and denser but not stiff to work with (just not powdery), and the eyeshadow appeared to “melt” on my lid as it was so seamless. It wore well for nine hours before fading a bit.

Bronze
Bronze is a medium, orange-leaning copper with strong, warm undertones and a bright, metallic finish. It was more copper than it was brown-based, but compared to the actual Copper shade in the palette, it was more muted and a lot less orange. The texture was smooth, dense, and firm without being stiff, so it didn’t have any powderiness but picked up well with a dry brush.
It had rich pigmentation in a single layer, and it did not matter if it was applied dry or wet–a wet brush just yielded a slightly smoother, more intense sheen. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Rose Gold
Rose Gold is a medium-dark pink with moderate, warm undertones paired with silver and pink shimmer that gave it an intense, metallic finish. The consistency felt smooth to the touch, it yielded to a dry brush but featured a denser, firmer formula (just not stiff!) that wasn’t powdery and sat particularly flatteringly on my eyelid.
It had opaque color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well. The color showed signs of fading after nine hours of wear.
