beautiful formula but shades not as pictured

The formula of this is great. It goes on and stays without getting creasy/crackly, and is waterproof and transfer proof. It blends beautifully but you must work quickly, because once it's set it's not budging. You can sheer it out for a watercolor look (which I think is where it shines) but it is ex...tremely pigmented so a little goes a long way. If you really mess up, adding a little bit of moisturizer to your finger will help you blend it more and sheer it out more. You only need the tiniest dot of this eyeshadow to do your crease on both eyes. You also can't layer stick eyeshadows with this -- because it dries and sets, the formulas just won't blend with each other. My only gripe is that the shades are much more vibrant IRL than they appear/are described as online. Foxy and Dream On are ORANGE and look garish on me. (For context, I have a light, neutral skin tone, no tan, and medium contrast. I would say I am a soft autumn). They are not muted or neutral enough for me. My first thought was they'd be great if I want to be a pumpkin for Halloween. Sheered out, they are somewhat more tolerable but I still regret buying them. I think they would look better on someone with a lot of warmth in their complexion, or someone with a medium skin tone. Dream On is a burnt orange; I would not call it "warm brown." Foxy is like a medium creamsicle-orangey coral -- emphasis on the orange. They oxidize slightly to get even darker/oranger. Flower Power and Game On look like they are purpley-pink in the arm swatches online, but they were NOT purpley/cool toned when I swatched them in-store. Flower Power is a medium coral sand/desert rose shade. It is not nearly as pale as it looks online. I think it could be a good crease shade on me, sheered out. Game Over is richer than it appears online and is a darker, slightly browner version of Flower Power. Both Flower Power and Game Over are reddish browns. I think I could get away with using Game Over in my outer corner or as eyeliner.
