I Touch Roses is an independent line of mineral makeup created by Ahna, an artist who has studied fashion photography, color theory and painting. What caught my attention about this company were the edgy eyeshadow colors. They are very reasonably priced at $7.77 for a 10 gram jar and applicator OR you can get 7 samples for $2.90. I find the shadows right up there in quality with the more known mineral makeup companies. They are very pigmented, easy to blend and long lasting (although I use a primer with all shadows). They carry different finishes from mattes to pearls and shimmers. The more matte finishes are a tad bit chalkier than the other finishes. The color selection is also awesome from your neutrals to your intense electric blues. The swatches on the website are a little more intense than they are in real life so keep that in mind. I made sure my swatches were true to color for your reference. Still pretty though...
Pleasure is a very pretty medium golden brown with golden undertones and slight shimmers. It is a very creamy color that applies oh so smooth and I can see this being a staple color. The gold in Pleasure is a lot more obvious over a white base. Fantastic is an almost forrest green with blue undertones and shimmers. It turns almost teal over a white base. Midnight Sky is a deep, dark blue with grey and purple undertones. Astrology is a medium blue with teal shimmer in it. The teal is very apparent over a white base and I actually think its prettier. Universe is a dark navy with blue shimmer in it. I feel a blue smokey eye coming up!!! Artisan is one of my favorites in the bunch. It is a very unique deep lavender, periwinkle color with purple shimmer. It applies so smooth! Star is a light blue with purple undertones and blue shimmer. Alone is a pink, almost fuschia color and flashes blue with violet shimmer. It is definitely fuschia over a white base. Calm reminds me of vanilla pigment but flashes blue and is less yellow. Pretty, pretty color.
I will post some looks with I Touch Roses foundation, blush, shadows and lippie soon.
i am officially in love with pleasure, fantastic, midnight sky, and astrology.
i hope shipping's not too much..
