United StatesLilly - A Cup full of spring
I didn't know if this shade would work for my deep skin tone when I made my first order from Emme Cosmetics - but I took a chance and Boy was I happy. This is such a lovely shade of lilac. I love that although Emme Cosmetics mattes are soft, they are not too powdery - on the contrary they are quite buttery on the skin. In particular, this shade of lilac sort of just blended itself right into my skin - the blend was so easy and effortless that it appeared as if I may have natural lilac colored eyelids. On my deeper skin tone (Fenty 445) the Lilly shade does become deeper and a bit grungier when I blend it closer to and into my crease. The shade is was to build up and as I am booting that Emme Cosmetics mattes are very pigmented and have great depth, I work with a lighter hand when using it as a transition shade. This is something that I greatly appreciate from the brand because usually with some lighter shades like these - they tend to look a bit ashier and dry on my skin - not with Lilly though! This shade confirmed to me that I was good to purchase more of the lighter matte shades featured by the brand because the formula would allow better blending on my skin.
Very good matte!
I was so impressed with this shade, when I snatched it I literally gasped it was so pigmented, smooth, and beautiful! It's kind of grippy, so it blends better over a set base. I definitely want to try more of the mattes now.
