After Dusk is described as a "deep lilac [with a Veluxe Pearl finish]." It's a muted, medium-dark rosy mauve with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had nice color payoff with a soft, blendable texture that wasn't too firm or too soft. This was the best shade in the palette. It started to fade after eight hours of wear.
