Shiro Cosmetics’ Dunsparce / Shiro Cosmetics’ Shield-Eater

A softer yellow, with low color payoff. Since most of the rest of Shiro's colors have very solid pigmentation levels, and since this color's been around for a while (and wasn't outright removed when the new collection lineups were announced) I can only guess that this is intentional. It's a little heavy to use as a browbone or inner-vee highlighter, but is a bit sheer for use as a regular-weight yellow. I have used this a few times as a “blending” or transitional color, with mixed results. There must be a trick to using this color effectively, except as “over colored shadow bases” but I haven't found it just yet.
