What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing calls the finish both matte and transparent. Its dry-time entries also give 1 hour and 24 hours for different labels, without explaining the distinction. Treat these as listing details rather than a single confirmed finish or drying time.

Customer feedback is positive about the colour, appearance and brand reputation, with one customer noting strong pigments. Brightness draws mixed reactions: some like it for sky glows while others find it too bright. Value is also disputed, with customers describing it as both reasonably priced and expensive. This is useful context for a single-shade purchase, but the listing's transparent opacity does not guarantee that the hue will fit every palette.

- Some customers praise the brand, and one notes strong pigments.
Mixed feedback
- Brightness: some customers like it for sky glows, while others consider it too bright.
