Under the Sea

City Color Under the Sea Shimmer Shadow ($6.99 for 0.129 oz.) is a muted, medium blue with subtle, cool undertones and a metallic finish. The consistency was very dense, which made it harder to apply without really smoothing it out as it had a very textured, raised look applied initially. It had intense pigmentation and lasted for eight hours on me. Sugarpill Starling (P, $13.00) is brighter (95% similar). Urban Decay Dive (LE, ) is lighter, cooler (95% similar).
