It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that appeared slightly lighter swatched than it did in the pan. The consistency was slightly dusty but did not sheer out instantly, so it was workable and would perform best over primer. This shade lasted for seven hours on me before fading.Top DupesFormula OverviewIngredientsTop Dupes View Swatches View All DupesViseart Resistance (PiP, ) is warmer (95% similar).Wet 'n' Wild Nude Awakening #6 (PiP, ) is lighter (90% similar).Bad Habit Mona (PiP, ) is darker (90% similar).Chanel Charming #2 (LE, ) is warmer (90% similar).Smashbox Soft Brown (PiP, ) is cooler (85% similar).Natasha Denona Flint (184CM) (LE, ) is lighter (90% similar).Anastasia Twig (LE, $12.00) is lighter, warmer (90% similar).Huda Beauty Suede (Remastered) (PiP, ) is darker, cooler (90% similar).Wet 'n' Wild Rose in the Air #6 (PiP, ) is lighter, warmer (90% similar).Make Up For Ever M549 Dark Taupe (P, $17.00) is darker, cooler (90% similar).View SwatchesFormula Overview$12.00/0.06 oz. - $200.00 Per OunceAnastasia Eyeshadow is supposed to be a “finely-milled, highly-pigmented” powder eyeshadow.

I loved how there was a hint of shimmer strewn through the eyeshadow but it was not overtly shimmery. It had good color payoff, but the dustier consistency made it hard to maintain that level of opacity without a good primer underneath it as the color would sheer out very easily.

Wednesday Light, Neutral undertones. Dry skin. »I don’t have deep brown and it would make a great black alternative for me.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »It would work well if you tend to use it in thinner/more gradual layers in particular!
kjhThese ABH singles will be very helpful for those of us considering a select-four, without overly duping our stashes. Thanks.
ABABH has a rich set of warm neutrals for sure — with Sateen, RTW, Fawn and Blazing, and I felt covered (and am especially using Blazing lately), but now I want to check out Sienna and Morocco from this set. I’ve also looked at Caramel but it’s so close to UD Riff I think I’m covered. I appreciate the size of ABH eyeshadow singles — more affordable than MUFE — and also they’re easier to find in-store here than the MUFE range. Ha… at this rate, I’ll basically have the Viseart warm neutral mattes palette completely duped (that’s been on my wish list for awhile)
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I agree – MUFE’s are huge but regular consumers don’t need that much product!
Nancy T Medium-Tan, Olive, neutral undertones. Combination skin. »Several of these have a really nice level of pigmentation that is still blendable and seems easy to work with. On the other hand, presently have dupes or close enough dupes of each one. Plus, I have Warm Taupe and Hot Chocolate in 2 separate ABH palettes. Love both shades!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Not surprised! These are all singles that I picked up (during the Black Friday sale) that I only had reviewed from palettes!
Aj Tan, Neutral undertones. Normal skin. »Ohh Morocco and Sienna are pretty. Now I need to swatch them myself to choose between the two haha
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Keep us posted on which one you pick, Aj!
Shannon. N Light-Medium, Yellow, strong yellow undertones. Very Oily skin. »Hot chocolate is my pick from here! Its so beautiful imo
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »That is great to know, Em!
Genevieve Fairest, Pink undertones. Dry skin. »These are really good quality eye shadows, but I wonder about the viability of putting out these shades that are so, so common. Beautiful eye looks Christine.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thank you, Genevieve!
Helene Fair, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Combination skin. »I thought I had a lot of browns, but I don’t have any dupes for any of these browns. They are all good looking and all but Deep Brown are now on my wish list. I think I’ll have to do a lot of swatching of my eyeshadows, grouping them by colour, not by palette. Hmm, seem like a lot of work, but maybe I can find some interesting looks doing it.
