I used to treat myself to an aura reading once a year. There’s a small store in Chinatown, NYC that sells jade stones and old cameras, and if you wait in line they’ll push you into a small corner, tell you to stare into their lens, and within minutes you’ll have a Polaroid of yourself awash in color. I was often violet and red, sometimes with a sun streak of yellow around my head like a halo. Then the question remains, how do you read auras? In this case I was told I was creative, independent, and strong-willed – all accurate no matter the year. I was also always told my aura reading showed I needed more sleep – also true.
What I loved about this ritual of having my aura read is it reminded me of who I was, and showcased the way I expressed myself with color. That aura reading camera saw me. The Morphe Aurascape Collection is a Morphe palette, Morphe lip gloss, and a brush set that tap into that celestial celebration in an array of pastel makeup and ethereal beauty so you can bring forth your true self – or manifest a different mood altogether.
Discover how Morphe created the Aurascape Collection, and the inspirations behind the palette, brushes, and lip glosses. I also sat down with Morphe Editorial Director, Alexander Shannon, to find out what Morphe’s aura might be.
