What I like:– Comes in 25 shades.– Super versatile.– Easy to layer.– Lightweight.
Cons
What I don’t:– Wears on the dry side.– Difficult to color match: I got shade 10, and it was way too pink for me. I recommend using their online quiz or online reps to help. I didn’t do this and I wish I did.– Doesn’t come with a sharpener and this pencil is larger than a #2 pencil, so you will need a specific sharpener. - continued -
