Lunasol Geminate Eyes Cat's Eyes
Lunasol's Geminate Eyes series was released in the fall of 2007. It remains one of Lunasol's most brilliant and shimmery lines, promising a diamond-like shine. I purchased #4 Sapphire and #5 Ruby when they were first released. Recently, while transiting through Narita Airport in Japan, I was impressed by how smoothly and pigmented the #1 Cat's Eyes swatched so I picked it up as well.
Having used it a couple times, my initial thoughts are that while the texture and colour payoff is excellent, the overall combination of shades is less flattering on my skintone than other Lunasol quads like Lavender Coral, Dazzling Night and Nature Summer Blue.
In general, I find it hard to pull off gold-toned shades, like those in Cat's Eyes. For example, the orange gold shade in the top right corner of the palette can look a tad harsh if applied too heavily. I used it in the crease in the look below.
Here's the overall look. I also tried out the Armani Lasting Silk Foundation and Maybelline The Falsies Volum'express mascara today. The Lasting Silk Foundation was easy to apply but was not able to completely cover up the redness in my skin. The oil control was also just average. I was more impressed by the Maybelline mascara applied very smoothly without any clumping and lasted very well over more than 12 hours of wear without smudging. It was also good at adding length and definition to my thin lashes.
