Concrete Minerals’ Swamped

Clear midrange emerald green shimmer. This has the same base color as Marni, but doesn't have Marni's blue shimmer. (In the pot, Swamped looks deeper than Marni; applied, the base color is almost identical.) Color payoff is good, but for whatever reason it applied a little less rich than it appeared in the pot. Adhesion was about the same as other average to good loose powders on me: with no primer, they'll migrate after about an hour; with a primer, they stay put for six or seven hours. I got a very small amount of fading with this color - after about two hours I noticed that it seemed to be a slightly softer green.
