I initially didn’t know that this particular color would do too much for me. It’s turned out to be one of the colors I use the most! The gold color is almost a little dark, but if I use a light hand or apply it over a light base, the color itself doesn’t make me look jaundiced and the pink shimmer is a good counterpoint to my eye color. I haven’t found too many colors to pair it with, but I’ll admit I haven’t tried all that hard. For me, this is an excellent “minimal makeup” color to use.

A really gorgeous dark violet color with indigo sparkle. The color really does look best wet - applied dry over primer, you see a bit of the blackened purple, but almost none of the sparkle finish. I do kind of like that the color has two distinct “personalities”, though - I feel like I got two colors instead of one! The foiled application reminds me a bit of Concrete Minerals’ Seance, but with blue sparkle instead of gold; and a bit more of a blue tone to the purple.

I think that I have similar shades, but nothing that’s exactly like this. Define Beauty, one of my favorite neutrals from The SheSpace, is awfully close! I can’t lay my hands on my single sample baggie of Infernal Chaos, or I’d compare it to that just to see if it’s anywhere in the ballpark - because it’s been over a year and I’m still kicking myself for missing that shade.
