Midrange purple that’s softened quite a bit from how it appears in the pot. There’s what looks like a lot of grey in the color. The colorshift is likewise “worn” - it’s not a vibrant green, but the green does appear. When I blend this color I...
I am looking for a lash primer that mainly acts as a good base for my colored mascaras: it helps them adhere to my lashes, and it helps the color appear more intense. This primer stays white, and it stays slightly tacky, like some waterproof mascaras. Be careful to both...
I was interested to try these out when they first appeared on the Milani website in mid-2020. When I was growing up, my mom had a tube of tinted gel that she used for rouge; I had memories of her applying that and thought this would be similar. It’s…...
A slightly greyed, autumnal purple…if there is such a thing. The formula is a very good consistency, going on evenly and self-leveling very well. The metallic finish shows some brushstrokes, but not too strongly - more like a faint suggestion. This isn’t my favorite purple, but it is...
The multichromes that many other companies have released…but in liquid form. There are red-orange-gold, blue-green, green-blue-purple-magenta, gold-copper-chrome, and magenta-coral shifts. These have a broad, fuzzy applicator - these are intended as whole-lid shadows. I use one edge or the “point” to apply a thinner line close to my lashes....
softened, more-light-than-medium medium blue (yes, it’s exactly what you picture when you think of 1970s blue eyeshadow). The shimmer is rougher when I apply this one with a wet brush, and smooths out to a near-pearl finish when applied dry. It blends nicely, but it can be easy to...
This isn’t a metallic full shimmer - it’s more of a “scattered aqua microglitter sparkle” on top of a rich royal-azure blue that has enough depth not to look like it came from the 1970s. If you have cool coloring and almost any eye color, this will accentuate...
A solid, near-primary pair of colors. The polish shift is not soft or infinitesimal, though it is more visible on longer nails when the bed stays yellow and the tip turns orange. The yellow is even, eventually, fairly well behaved: it took me three coats, but the yellow actually gave...
Twelve firmer lipsticks in wood cores, with a wide flat brush at the end. These are similar to the Buxom Plumplines - but they come in a wider range of colors. (For instance, if a blue ever shows up in the Plumpline collection, I’ll be VERY surprised!) These are...
