applies quite sheer

This shadow is a lovely colour. However, it is not a true cream shadow and isn't whipped or creamy. It is best applied with your finger or a stiffer eye brush. I think if you were to use an eye brush with natural hairs that are softer, you would have a difficult time picking up product. The shadow does apply quite sheer, which isn't bad if you are going more for a subtle look, but is a little disappointing if you were expecting something more pigmented.
