Described as "Bronzed Plum" on the Alima website. Like the other Alima
shimmer eyeshadows, this has a bad texture when wet--kinda clumpy and
hard to even out (it's not much better dry, being extemely dusty and
powdery). "Grace" is a cool-to-neutral taupey pale, pale plum with that
lovely soft glowy pearl effect common to the Alima shimmer eye shadows
(the sheen becomes brighter and slightly more pronounced when the
shadows are applied with a damp applicator).
This is another
very neutral color that would probably work on most complexions. Dry,
it's a neutral pale taupe with a subtle mix of brown and plum tones and
a faint moonlit gleam. This one is a hair darker/deeper than Mink and
perfect for a very soft-looking smoky eye if you have lighter skin.
This one is my favorite out of the samples I got (Mocha and Mink were
the other eyeshadows I bought) because it makes my dark eyes glow
without looking like makeup. Stays put all day without any creasing or
fading, but it is such a light color that I doubt I'd notice if it did
fade. May repurchase a smaller sized version of this (love that you
have this option!)
Described as a "soft lilac" on the Alima website. May seem a bit chalky
at first, but blend, blend, blend and you get a lovely, neutral glowy
lid without an overtly pink thing going on, despite the way it looks in
the bag (pearly ultra-pale lavender gleam. Sort of like a much paler
version of MAC's Pink Opal pigment). It's like the interference of
"Mink" but without the taupe base color. Wet, it is merely a more
intense version of itself. Still not chalky though, due to the subtle,
lustrous finish. I'm not sure if I'd repurchase, though. I personally
prefer the browns and taupes from Alima better as they show up more
nicely on me.
