Darkness of Calm

MAC Darkness of Calm Fluidline ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a "dark espresso." It's a muted, blackened brown with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish--just a little sheen to it. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a lightly creamy consistency that was easy to draw lines with but didn't take forever to set. Once dry, the color lasted for twelve hours with no movement or breakdown. ColourPop Bustier (LE, $7.00) is darker (95% similar). Urban Decay Smokeout (LE, $22.00) is more shimmery (95% similar).
