High Heels

High Heels is a medium red with neutral-to-cool undertones and a matte finish. The pigmentation was good--not quite opaque but very close to it--and delivered smooth, even coverage in a single layer. It was still going strong after eight hours of wear, but it was drying on me. Estee Lauder Decisive Poppy (P, $32.00) is glossier (95% similar). ColourPop Trust Me (P, $6.00) is darker (95% similar).
