Pearlescent Minerals Purple Shadow Mica

Aroma-Zone’s ‘Ombre Pourpre’ mica is mainly appealing for its colour, which a large majority of customers consider very beautiful, intense and highly pigmented. The result is often described as purple, rosy red or slightly brown, with a pearly, iridescent or shimmering effect appreciated in make-up, particularly on the eyelids or lips, or as blusher. Several customers point out that it gives a strong, buildable result, sometimes with very little product, and that it works well with different complexions, particularly with green or hazel eyes and darker skin. Its use as eyeshadow comes up frequently, with a result often considered stunning or professional. However, around one in six reviews mention that it is tricky to apply: the powder is seen as flyaway, can scatter easily and requires precision to control the intensity. A few reviews also mention staying power or a luminous effect that is less convincing depending on the use, but overall opinion remains very positive.
