Claudia

Claudia is a muted, dark gray with cool, bluish undertones and fine teal micro-shimmer over a mostly matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, and it was the weakest shade with respect to coverage in the palette. It was soft, finely-milled, and a touch dusty, and it had a tendency to sheer out when blended--which worked for darkening other shades but was harder to work with if trying to use it on its own. The color wore well for seven hours on me. Terra Moons Split (P, $6.00) is less shimmery (95% similar). Jouer Slate (PiP, ) is darker (95% similar).
