I wish I'd read reviews for this specific shade before I purchased it because it's probably my most hated eyeshadow ever. I thought all the Color Tattoo shadows had this problem, so I haven't purchased any more of them. Now that I've read some reviews, maybe I'll try a different one in the future. I won't write a lengthy review because the issues have already been covered by others.
I've been trying to work with this one for months, and I just can't make it work no matter what I try. Brushes, my fingers, sponges, using it with or without a primer, layering, even adding alcohol to thin it out didn't help [EDIT: I forgot I also tried adding oil-free moisturizers to it. That helped a tiny bit, but only in softening the product. It still applied very patchy and streaky.] I use it now as a base for medium to dark plum or brown powder shadows, because it's so patchy. It just doesn't work on its own and I feel like I wasted my money buying it. I wish I'd saved the receipt and returned it.
EDIT: The only thing I can say about this that is positive is how long it lasts. If this is anything like the rest of the products in this line, I would recommend buying some of the other shades just for the wear time. I swatched this on my hand one day while trying to find a way to get it to apply evenly, and then forgot to wash it off right away because something distracted me. A while later, when I noticed the patch, I decided to just leave it alone and see how it held up. I washed my hands many times and even did dishes twice before any serious fading happened. I know the skin on a hand isn't like eyelid skin, but that was still impressive to me.
