Aubergine

Anastasia Aubergine Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark plum with warm, reddish-brown undertones and a sprinkling of plum and purple sparkle over a semi-matte finish. It had good pigmentation with a soft, blendable texture that wasn't too firm or too soft, so it didn't kick up excess product was still easy to use. This shade wore well for eight hours on me.
