Midnight Violet

Tom Ford Midnight Violet Cream Color for Eyes ($45.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a slightly muted, medium-dark plum purple with warm undertones and a frosted shimmer-sheen finish. It had opaque coverage that could be applied with a lighter touch or blended out for sheerer coverage, if desired, though it was harder to keep coverage even and sheer (I think it may be slightly too emollient). The color lasted for ten hours before creasing slightly. Make Up For Ever ME828 Garnet Black (DC, $17.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar). Makeup Geek Drama Queen (DC, $6.00) is less shimmery, darker, warmer (90% similar). Coloured Raine Alibi (LE, $6.99) is less shimmery, lighter (90% similar). Illamasqua Queen of the Night (P, $25.50) is less shimmery, darker (90% similar). Urban Decay Uncut (DC, $19.00) is brighter, warmer (85% similar).
