RMK Autumn Mystique Overview And EOTDs

The RMK Autumn/Winter collection, Autumn Mystique, has been out for some time. And I managed to play with the collection, got the swatches of the 2 eye palettes - gray and green ones, did EOTDs with the 2 palettes together with the Ingenious gel eyeliners.

Some words on this collection......

There are 4 eye palettes, each consisting of 5 shades, from a solid color(quite matte with some shimmer) to its lighter shades(shimmery shades) and a glitter/highlighter. The glitters are very fine. Palette 01 is of brown-pink shades, 02 - dark brown-golden shades, 03 - gray-bluish, 04 - greens. I did swatches of the gray(03) and green(04) palettes. However, when swatched, the color pay-off is very light and not so pigmented (as you can see in the photo below). In order to make the colors show on my eyes, the MUA had to blend in some corresponding shades from the gel eyeliners. The texture of the shadows is not very smooth as I had expected it to be, but it varies on different shades in the same palette. The 3rd and 4th shades in the palettes, with some shimmer, swatched quite smoothly as compared to the rest.

But under that lighting, it's a bit to distinguish the 2 colors.

As much as I am a sucker for palettes, I was actually more excited over the colored eyeliners in this collection - the gel form and the pencils. The eyeliners come in 7 colors each.

01, 02 and 03 of the gel eyeliners are the conventional colors of black, dark blue and dark brown, respectively. But of course, what attracted me was not the conventional colors, but the shiny colored ones! EX01 is Shiny Pink, EX02 - Shiny Gold, EX03 - Shiny Green, EX04 - Shiny Purple. Wow!
And the good thing is every small tiny jar of this gel liner comes with a dual-ended retractable brush, one end is a sponge tipped applicator and the other end is the eyeliner brush. The texture is smooth and applies easily on the lids. The colors are very pretty.



The pencil eyeliners come mostly in the conventional colors of black, gray, deep blue, browns but there is a white and purple. Haha!! Bet you can guess what caught my eyes.....the purple liner, of course! But it's not a purple, actually it's more of a lilac color. The pencil liner deserves a mention as it comes with a detachable end which is actually a sharpener for the liner.

05 Golden Brown, 06 Purple, 07 White

The mascaras in this collection come in 3 shades of Black, Brown and Blue. It's dual-ended, one side with a mascara primer, the other the mascara which is supposed to be lengthening, and it did its job quite well. See my EOTD below.

There are 2 cheek palettes: 1 is more pink to match the darker gray and green palettes, while the other is more towards brown to match the brown tone eye palettes.



There are 3 lip glosses in the collection as well.



There are also nail polish in this collection, but I am not so much a nail polish person.


So time for some EOTDs......
