Captivating #2 is described as a "bright white gold base." It's a stark, white gold base--there's the stark white base with a pale gold shimmer-sheen that seems to get pulled out if you blend out the shade. The texture was a little chunky and loose. Applied dry, it was powdery, chunky, and dusty, and then applied damp, it was less powdery and dusty, but it didn't smooth out. It showed some signs of fading after seven hours of wear. MAC Greenluxe #2 (P) is more metallic, darker. Disney by Sephora Charming (LE) is darker. Urban Decay Vanilla (LE, $18.00) is similar. MAC Short Shorts (LE, $15.00) is smoother. bareMinerals Breathtaking (P) is less warm-toned. See comparison swatches.

The Mineralize Eyeshadow formula is supposed to have "low-to-medium coverage" when applied dry and "more intense coverage and color" when used wet. Most shades have color payoff that is true to the brand's description: semi-sheer to semi-opaque when used dry and semi-opaque to opaque when used with a dampened brush. I tend to find that they apply more smoothly and evenly with a more metallic finish with a dampened brush as well. Some shades can be a little too dry or dusty and do not apply as well with a dry brush. The wear is typically a bit less than average on me--six to seven hours.
