Mauve Over

Mauve Over is described as a "soft mid-tone mauve [with a Veluxe Pearl finish]." It's a muted, dark plum-purple with warm undertones and a satin sheen. It had decent coverage, but it was drier and harder to blend out. This one also tended to fade soon after applying it to the lid (before I finished my makeup), so it lost a lot of the contrast it could have had when paired with the rest of the shades. After that initial fading, I don't notice a real breakdown of the product until seven and a half hours. Marc Jacobs Beauty The Free Spirit No. 16 (LE, ) is less shimmery (90% similar).
