Recently I showed off my greens and mentioned that purple is my other pretend-neutral eyeshadow, in terms of colors I find ridiculously easy to wear and appropriately versatile. Here are my precious babies.
I have a few more purply-tinged shadows but deemed them too taupe, too grey, etc to be featured here. Addiction Concrete Jungle danced around the line but finally didn't make the cut, being out-lilacked by Rouge Bunny Rouge Lilac Reef Curassow (side note: Rouge Bunny Rouge has taught me so many bird names! I'm gauche. I'd never heard of a curassow before! It brings me comfort to know that neither has my spell-check.)
That Vincent Longo thing looks interesting, how does it swatch? I'm getting more and more convinced that I need Ghost in my life!
ReplyDeleteThe Vincent Longo is like a silvered lilac... very silvery, as opposed to greyed. It's hard to describe but complex and quite lovely. I'll have to dedicate a whole post to my VL petri dishes and swatch the three I have.
DeleteGhost. Must have it!! Does it pull purple? So intriguing.
ReplyDeleteIt is a crazy cool color that refuses to be photographed, as befits its ethereal phantasmic state. It's the palest of lavenders and sometimes it looks grey but it has both blue and pink microshimmer that give it a purply tug, too. 'zamazing.
