Violeta

Violeta is a dark, reddish brown with subtle, warmer undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage, which was buildable to opaque coverage after two to three layers. The texture was soft, lightly dusty, and fairly easy to blend, but it was the "hardest" to use within the palette as it did take a bit of work to soften the edges as it seemed to melt a bit more on bare skin. If you used a primer, I do not think it would be an issue. On me, it lasted for eight and a half hours before creasing. Sydney Grace Maple Sugar (LE, $5.25) is darker (95% similar).
