Shade Aubergine is a cool grape purple with no reddish or plum undertones. It is an excellent liner. I love the fact that it is so creamy and spreads easily without dragging my lids. Despite being creamy it doesn't smudge or disappear as the day goes by. I love my automatic pencils - they are so practical. Even though they can be sharpened, I just use mine as is to create a thicker line that I just smoke out. Recommended!
