This was the shade I was missing from my earlier It’s a Strike collection reviews! It had decent pigmentation with a thinner texture that wasn’t too soft or too firm in the pan, but it was a shade that was more buildable than intense right out of the gate. The eyeshadow took some effort to blend out, though it wasn’t the worst I’ve used, and when built up in layers, it was easier to diffuse the edges. It wore well for eight hours on me.
