Rich Velvet

Anastasia Rich Velvet EyeshadowAnastasia Rich Velvet Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a deep, burgundy-brown with warm, reddish undertones and a smattering of white micro-sparkle over a mostly matte finish. Applied, it looks more matte than anything else as a lot of the sparkle doesn't transfer to the lid. It had good color payoff with a soft, smooth consistency that was easy to blend on the skin. It wore well for eight hours on me. LORAC Burgundy (PiP, $19.00) is less shimmery, lighter (95% similar). bareMinerals Stiletto (LE, ) is less shimmery (95% similar).
