Star Crushed Minerals’ Autumn Foliage

Star Crushed Minerals’ Autumn Foliage

Posted on Friday, at

A fairly autumnal green with slight hints of pink in the frost finish. The frost isn't so dense that it overwhelms the shade, which is nice - you get a good amount of actual color showing up! I especially like how this shade looks on my grey-blue eyes.

A very soft color, just a little bit sheer. Good for natural or “no makeup” looks, if this matches the color of your lips. Otherwise, it's more of a sheer tint with much better staying power than most sheer liptints.

Shiro Cosmetics’ The Truth

Shiro Cosmetics’ The Truth

Fairly straightforward, simple white satin eyeshadow. Reminds me of White, from Shiro's i-Shadow collection. The bonus here is that, unlike some white eyeshadows, this isn't a whisper-soft shade that can only really be used as a highlighter, or that is only really visible on deeper-toned skin. It's definitely possible to...

Pale lilac with a green interference shimmer. The green color is more subtle in sunlight or certain (most) indoor lamp-light, but the purple is still an attractive shade. Pigmentation levels are solid, too.

Fairly decent color payoff on this shadow, though I'm happier with the results of dry application (the reverse is usually true.) The foiled application is okay, the color is just so overridden by the finish! (Irritatingly enough, this seems to be fairly standard behavior for the more “plush” frost finish...

Almost looks like a tauped green in the pot, and - kind of sadly - applies much softer. This will work as a softer shadow for more naturalistic looks, unless you apply it over a dark cream base…which may wash out most of the color. In this shadow's defense,...

I picked this color up in Atlanta, in Ulta. Same time and place that Sirvinya picked up her deeply-discounted bottle of Zoya's Song, actually. At the beginning of our trawl through the bargain-bin section, I picked up this polish…then I put it back. We came around to the same...

Everyone raved about this color when it came out, and I just wasn't seeing the hype. I didn't like the thought of super-sparkly nail polishes, and all the mania around this one kept me from buying it for a long time. And then it sat on my shelf, unworn, for...
