I got the box and left it - and all the pencils - sitting on the dining room table for about two months. The pencils were arranged chromatically, and they were just to pretty to disrupt! But, sooner or later…one has to move on and actually start USING the...
Dark enough and pigmented for a softer liner shade, but with no blackening - so easily usable as a straight-up eyeshadow color. You could possibly use this for contouring, but the shade is pretty enough that I don't know that I'd hide it under a blending shade.
