Sax Appeal

Sax Appeal is described as a "soft taupe-brown [with a Satin finish]." It's a light-medium brown with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had semi-sheer color payoff with a firmer consistency that made it hard to get color out of the pan. It stayed on for seven and a half hours on me but was difficult to use.
