Violet #1

Violet #1 is a medium lavender with pinky undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-sheer, buildable coverage (almost opaque but not quite), but the dustier, thinner texture made it harder to apply to bare skin without it looking somewhat uneven. It took a lot of extra effort and buffing to get it mostly blended on the cheeks, so this is one that I liked better over powdered skin. It lasted for eight hours.
