African Violet is a bright, medium-dark magenta purple with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque color payoff, and after drying down, it looked even and smooth in coverage. There was light "cracking" when I smiled, though. It lasted for six and a half hours on me and was lightly drying. Makeup Geek Moonwalk (LE, $12.00) is lighter (95% similar). ColourPop Drive In (LE, $6.50) is darker (90% similar).
