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.
