Fyrinnae’s Exquisites: Through The Prism

This one’s very similar to Symphonic, but it’s slightly muted in color intensity and visible shift. It applies well and the color payofff is good, it just doesn’t shift quite as much as one might expect. The most visible color is a wine-burgundy.

CHD’s Vinylux Red Baroness (139)

TKB Trading’s Galaxy collection

Interesting shades…but not really as colorchanging as the vendor photos suggest. They’re also larger-particle, not full-on sparkle, but close. Intergalactic is the one that shows the most multichromatic effects, but those are a bit on the muted side.

Wet n Wild’s Megaglo Highlighting Powder collection

I am not a huge fan of standard highlighting. I don’t dust highlighting powder on my cupid’s bow, above my cheekbones or even always just beneath my eyebrows. I do love highlighters, though - as complements to deeper eyeshadows, or as effects-layers.

Fyrinnae’s Exquisites: Symphonic

Fyrinnae’s Exquisites: Ravishing

This color primarily presents as a medium violet with some shifts into blue and magenta. At the most extreme angles it moves through brown and copper-bronze, but they’re visible on the periphery and only as hints. I’ve only had the chance to wear this twice in the two months that I’ve owned it - once I wore it as a liner shade, once I wore it as an outer-crease shade, both times I’ve planned the look...

Color Club’s Lunar Logic

Aromaleigh v2.1’s Desideratum collection

A microcollection of colorshifting demi-pastel shades, created for Aromaleigh’s 20th anniversary. (Though the company was on a break for nearly a year in 2010…ah, never mind.) These are softer shades with an interference finish - not generally semisheer, but very soft shades.
