Velvet – soft, luxurious, deep colour, elegant.<\/p>\n

For their Autumn\/Winter 2013 collection, Lunasol has drawn inspiration from velvet in the Velvet Purification collection. The colours are deeper, as befits the cooler weather and the different textures combine to give you depth of colour and lustre, shifting, deepening and lightening just like a piece of velvet, gently rippling in the wind.<\/p>\n

I don’t usually do swatches of collections but I realised that there aren’t many product swatches online for brands like Lunasol so I decided to make this the exception \ud83d\ude42 I also thought I’d share some thoughts on the collection.<\/p>\n

The Lunasol Velvet Purification collection<\/strong> will be available at counters in a week’s time so now’s a good time to figure out what you want \ud83d\ude09 Onwards! (Lots of pictures, so take your time!)<\/p>\n

Lunasol Velvet Purification Velvetful Eyes – RM185<\/h3>\n

There are 4 eyeshadow palettes in the Velvet Purification collection. They are laid out in gradational colours, quite typical of Lunasol and many Japanese brands. It may seem boring, but having used quite a few in my time, I find gradational colours the easiest way to learn how to use eyeshadow because you rarely go wrong, and it always looks flawless. Plus when you’re in a hurry in the mornings, gradational colours take the guesswork out of your eye makeup. It’s no wonder Lunasol was made for the office ladies \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

We saw some bright shades appear for Spring 2013 in the Vivid Colour Purification collection<\/a> and some warm contrast shades appear for Summer. With the weather in the Northern Hemisphere cooling down, colours take a turn for deeper, more subdued tones. The colours are a bit lighter in my picture than they are in real life, thanks to the lighting but it gives you an idea of the shades.<\/p>\n

The Velvetful Eyes palettes have a rippled surface to give the impression of billowing cloth. There are different textures in each palette from matte to shiny, which you can layer, mix or match at your whims and fancy and also, very wearable earthy, neutral tones. They are pigmented, and some colours are softer than others. I’ll break them down roughly for you, and the swatches are below.<\/p>\n
