Sarape

Sarape is a bright, medium grass green with warm undertones and a sparkling finish. Once product actually came off from the pan's surface, it had good pigmentation, though it's hard to really say it's a pigmented product because the texture/formula were a total disaster. It was so firmly pressed into the pan that it could have been plastic to the touch; I could feel the slight grit of the sparkle but nothing really came off when I touched it (brush or fingertips).

I had to push and jab at the surface, really work past layers of it, to get product to pick up and transfer to my skin. I tried using it with fingertips, a dampened brush, and even a sponge-tipped applicator, and I had to rub off powder from the pan first. After half a dozen uses, I could just use the bristles of my brush to gently push at the surface to use it.

As a result of the dry, crumbly nature of the powder (because it was pushed off the surface to begin with), there was heavy fallout with poor adhesion. I had to pack and pack it on to get it to translate at all on my lid; I was almost at the point of removing everything entirely because of this shade alone. Once on, it lasted for six hours before showing visible signs of fading.
