Spoiled Sexy

BUXOM Spoiled Sexy Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a "matte deep mauve." It's a muted, medium-dark mauve with warm, brown undertones and a matte finish. It had sheer color coverage, which was likely the result of it being incredibly powdery and prone to sheering out--so little of it stuck to bare skin. This is a shade that absolutely needs some sort of primer to help it adhere to the lid. What little of it I could see on the skin seemed to stay on all right for seven hours.
