Montage

Montage is a deep raspberry pink with neutral-to-cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. The pigmentation was good, while the consistency was smooth but too firm in the pan, so it was harder to blend out on the skin. It had more of a natural finish as it was blended on the skin. On me, this shade wore well for nine hours. NARS Famous (LE, $30.00) is more shimmery, lighter (95% similar). MAC Sunset Beach (LE, $32.00) is brighter (95% similar).
