Backstage Bambi

Backstage Bambi is a bright, medium-dark fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage and felt more watery when I was applying it. The color had some visible streaking, even after it dried (it didn't self-level) and seemed a bit more matte than the permanent version I have. It wore well for six hours but faded somewhat unevenly and was a bit drying. MAC Flamboyish (LE, $19.00) is lighter, glossier (95% similar). MAC Pink Pigeon (P, $19.00) is glossier (90% similar).
