    I only wouldn't buy again because I think there are other white eyeshadows which work just as well (controversial..?). However, it's nicely pigmented and looks lovely in the corner of the eye. Very...

    Gesso is one of my staples, its a white shadow with hint of shimmer. Its much more pigmented than UD Yeyo. I like to use this for a brow highlighter or base shade to pop vibrant colors.

    Not very pigmented, you really have to pack it on to get good colour payoff.
