Similar to EX-11 Sumiredama, EX-13 Ginusudama has a duochrome shade as well. It consists of a pearly pink, warm bronzy brown, duochrome purplish grey and matte ivory.
The texture needs no further raving because it is just great. The pigmentation is impressive and I really love the duochrome purplish grey shade. It looks complex because you can't really tell if it's purple or grey.
Some of you might be wondering what is the difference between EX-11 and EX-13, because honestly, they really look quite similar in the pan. So here is a comparison for you.

In order to see the difference, you really have to swatch it to see it. :) EX-11 Sumiredama is cooler in comparison and you can see the duochrome shade is more purplish whereas EX-13 Ginusudama's duochrome shade has more grey in it.

Do you need both EX-11 and EX-13? I say they are both different (that's why I got them both, haha). If I have to choose 1..... I would go with EX-11 Sumiredama because of the taupe shade. :)
Oh wow, these two are really quite similar! For a while I got a bit confused! I think I'd go for Sumiredama as well. I like the taupe better!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike :)
DeleteYeah, they're almost identical! I think I'd pick Sumiredama too.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the SA, Sumiredama is the signature palette of this collection.
DeleteoOoh they look similar babe! Thanks for the comparison. I;m happy that I picked sumiredama rather than Ginusudama.
ReplyDeleteYup, sumiredama is definitely the palette to choose. :)
DeleteThe taupe of the Sumiredama is really nice! I like taupe shades too haha but basically i'm not much a user of eye make-up.. though your posts are making me regret not getting any of these great stuff from the Tokyo trip! but then.. they will probably become white elephants if i did get them. haha. :p
ReplyDeletethe evils of shopping!
Violet, next year we go back, i drag u to SUQQU counter to swatch them!
DeleteHahaha onz! I just hope i don't become a make-up hoarder! It's bad enough that i'm hoarding so many other things like clothes and bags lol.. :p
