Elegant Friend

Elegant Friend is described as a "dirty lavender [with a Veluxe Pearl finish]." It's a muted, medium-dark, silvery lavender with a frosted finish. The texture was slightly dry and dusty, so it would benefit greatly from a primer, as it doesn't stick as well to bare skin on its own. It was blendable but only because it sheered out. The color wore well for seven and a half hours. MAC Time to Tango (LE, $21.00) is more shimmery (95% similar). Inglot #420 (P, $7.00) is more shimmery (90% similar).
