Showstopper

Showstopper is medium-dark taupe with cool undertones and a matte finish. It was one of the more pigmented versions of this shade that I've come across, though it was not fully pigmented. The texture was a bit softer and more blendable, too, but it wasn't an easy eyeshadow to work with. This shade wore well for eight hours on me.
