Nehru (Guo Pei)

Nehru (Guo Pei) is described as a "black grey [with a Matte finish]." It's a deep black with cooler undertones and a matte finish. This isn't like the Nehru I know from the permanent range, which translates as gray, and it might have something to do with the texture of this being incredibly dense, smooth, and almost cream-like. This was very, very pigmented and just an intense shade to work with, but it was still blendable -- it's just not really like the permanent version, so I have distinguished it as the Guo Pei version. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading. Anastasia Noir (P, $12.00) is cooler (95% similar). Tarte Silhouette (LE, ) is more shimmery (95% similar).
