This is a great little eyeshadow crayon. The formula is gentle on sensitive skin and glides on very evenly and smoothly. It's a very buildable product and you can apply a light coat for a subtle, shimmery color or more for a deeper, richer color. It's got a nice, wide tip making it cover more ground quicker. The lavish lilac color is a deep mauve, with anal it's rose/gold hint of shine to it. Very pretty for nighttime. This product performs far better if an eyelid primer is applied first.
