This is a pale pink eye shadow with warm undertone and matte finish. It features soft, velvety and smooth formula and excellent pigmentation. It does not feel powdery, which is unusual for shadows like this. It does not offer too thick coverage, yet it is not too thin. We recommend applying this shadow over the primer for better color payoff. The 3 Sheets eye shadow results in certain fallout and is easy to blend. It wears for 7+ hours over the primer.

Bare eye shadow is light peachy pink shade with warm undertone and sparkling metallic finish. The formula is somewhat dry and feels loosely pressed, compared to the other shadows from the Backtalk palette. This explains certain fallout during the application.

This is a coppery red eye shadow with metallic finish and warm undertone. The finish is semi-opaque coverage and good pigmentation.
