Cleo

City Color Cleo Shimmer Shadow ($6.99 for 0.129 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark copper with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It was very, very pigmented with a creamy, dense texture that blends out well and adheres to the skin intensely without primer. The only issue I had with this shade is really that it's so dense and pigmented that it can look thicker in places until blended and smoothed out--so use less than you think you need. It wore well for eight hours before creasing. Anastasia Adorn (DC, $12.00) is lighter (95% similar). Huda Beauty #Blessed (LE, ) is lighter (95% similar).
