Review: Lustre Aromaleigh Twilight supernatural powder

November 17th, 2009 | Aromaleigh, Cosmetics, Highlighting, New Moon, Review, Swatch, Twilight 

Are you going to the New Moon premiere?
Are you going to dress for the occasion?

For the story behind the story, go here.

Twilight Lustre
The second one I tried was this one. When applied to my hand, the sparkles are very, very fine, almost invisible. I applied it with my regular powder brush, not a FO brush. I agree with the following description given at the AL website.

Twilight Lustre is a very fine, silky powder that slightly lightens your skin and gives you a luminous gleam. It’s the most subtle of the trio, but personally, I [Kristin, founder of AL] feel that it gives the most interesting effect because it is so finely milled that your skin becomes radiant with an iridescent glow. This makeup is especially dramatic when applied to your face, especially if you have pale, smooth skin- this makeup actually makes your skin look like glowing moonstone, or marble.

My view: I like the effect. I feel my skin is luminous, but with less of a gleam than with Twilight Sparkle. I would wear this alone on a normal day, as I did today.

Twilight Sparkle supernatural powder
Yesterday I tried Twilight Sparkle, my first in this set of three. The glitter is very fine and shows up on my hand. On my face, it is a very sheer, sheeny look, not a glimmer look. My own mix is more sparkly, though there is more sparkle in the AL. I applied it with a FO brush.

My view: I would like this one applied over my regular mix as a highlighter. In RL, without the flash, it is more subtle. It is just very sheer, because I applied so little.

Twilight Sparkle contains distinct shimmering iridescent glimmers. In the sunlight or under bright light, it shimmers like radiant tiny diamonds. Apply over skin that you have applied lotion to (preferably with a high SPF, of course!), the effect is even more pronounced, and the product will stay longer on your skin. Twilight Sparkle may slightly lighten your skin, but it is formulated to be suitable for many skintones, in a transparent base.

FOTD
I chose to wear it in yesterday’s FOTDin honor of the DVD debut.

Which do you prefer on me?
