Clair de Lune Bear

Violette Étendu

I think this is my favourite of the 3 Viseart palettes I picked up (maybe over a year ago now?). It has some solid neutrals that blend easily into one another, but you can also get a really strong purple look. That matte purple (top row, 2nd from the left) really packs a punch. Pairing it with the dark purple shimmer beside it or the pinky-lilac shimmer below makes for a look that's more my style. There's also an interesting pale green shimmer that my swatches don't do justice; I'll have to feature it in a look and get a better photo of it in action.

I used the Petits Fours Pêche quad for this look.

It's a solid quad. Like I mentioned in my previous post, it's not the most exciting or versatile, but it performs well and I like the colours. I managed to elicit a hint of sparkle in the inner corner (last photo), but it's really not that sparkly.

I don't mean to sound negative about it; in fact, it lives in my vanity drawer. I can grab it and get a quick look without thinking too much about it. I think the colours are particularly pretty for summer.

I want your opinion! Would you rather see the palette posted separately (swatches and palette photos) from the look or looks (like with this post and yesterday's)? Or would you rather they all be grouped into one? Let me know what you think works best.

Many moons ago, I made an order from . One of the palettes I picked up was Petits Fours Pêche. It's cute! I like the quality. The shimmers aren't special per se (not particularly sparkly or shifty), but they're lovely colours and they apply opaquely (my preference).

Swipe for swatches.

Are you a Viseart fan?

Even though I haven't been posting that much, I have still been buying makeup (somewhat occasionally), wearing it, and taking some photos of it. So I have a huge backlog of photos to sort through - here is the first look. Swipe for sparkles!

I know I used Fairy Fire on the inner corner, and another Devinah shade on the lid - maybe Frost Bane? I'm quite sure the matte is a shade.

How have you all been doing? The weather has started to be much nicer here, so I've been spending significant amounts of time on my garden. The creeping phlox are starting to flower and they look so lovely. Do you have a favourite spring flower?

Another look using x Hummingbird palette. Swipe for sparkles and shifts - that multichrome purple is a really gorgeous shade.

Crocuses are up around here. Signs of spring.

Tell me about the interesting new makeup stuff happening. I haven't been keeping up.

Many many months ago, I chose some focus palettes for spring. I took photos of these palettes, then rotated some out and others in for summer. I meant to post about all of this, but it didn't happen.

But here's a look using a palette that I usually use in spring and summer. It's the x Hummingbird palette.

Swipe for sparkles.

I took this photo in September 2025. It's only a few months, but in terms of change, it's a lifetime ago.

All I remember is that I used Synthesis. I like how the multicoloured sparkles really show up in the out-of-focus shots.
