Purchased the vanilla shade to use as a base shadow. It brightens the eye and went on smoothly. Has decent staying power, but is not the best eyeshadow I've ever used. Overall I'm satisfied with my purchase. I adore MAC lipsticks, but am not as impressed with their shadows.
My daughter is a dancer. She and I have tried too many eyeshadows too count. This is a perfect shade for highlighting. Perfectly pigmented and blends nicely. This is my absolute favorite.
