I ordered shade 08W and it matched great. One layer of concealer underneath my eye looked natural, smooth and appealing to me. ...This is lightweight, so if like me you're trying to hide undereye circles, it'll take more than one layer.

Subtle is nice, but even with a range of brushes & pressure techniques, this was a bit too meek for me.

Its my new favorite color.
