Twilight Tryst

BUXOM Twilight Tryst Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a deep, almost blackened, blue-teal with cooler undertones and a strong, purple-red base. It had a near-metallic finish. The texture was very dense, though it was still smooth and blendable on the skin. It had fantastic pigmentation that applied and adhered well to bare skin. The color wore well for nine hours on me, and it did stain just faintly. Makeup Geek Secret Garden (DC, $6.00) is more shimmery (95% similar).
