Glisten’in Midnight Mess

I ordered some colors from Aromaleigh’s Holly-days collection, as well as Starry Night. When I received the colors, I was eager to wear them, so I threw together this look.

Shade Descriptions:
Glisten’in! – warm gold, softly metallic frost with hot sparkles of gold and pink.
Midnight Mess – the darkest purple-indigo toned black with frosted pewter tones and a myriad of sparkle that defies the rainbow.

I was actually quite disappointed with Glisten’in! You know by now that I love gold. I thought I would absolutely love this shade, since it has pink sparkles and it’s metallic. On me, it reads as orange, or a very orange-toned gold. I don’t see any pink sparkles. I did happen to like Midnight Mess a lot. It blended out nicely, and when I went back to pat on more of the color, the purple was pretty visible. Of course, I adored Miuccia, which I used as my highlight.

    Even in colors you don’t love, you manage to look beautiful.

    I actually like the gold on you. To me it looks more like a mid-tone gilded camel/caramel shade. With Midnight Mess above it in the crease, it really brings out your eye color :-)

      Aw thanks Lisa!

    Looks gorgeous! It really looks more orange than gold, but it’s still very pretty :D

    The highlight is super pretty, and I loooove that dark blue in the crease! If the gold had been more… golden, I suppose, I could see the look popping even more! Do you have Sugarpill’s Goldilux?

    Very pretty, but I’d agree Glisten’in is not what I’d expect from the shade description Aromaleigh gives- it almost looks like an orchre to me. If course, you make it work!

      Yeah I was surprised that it was more orange than gold, to my eyes.
