I bought this because I heard it would make my eyes look more elegant. It's a more subdued shade than my usual favorite eyeshadows, so honestly, it's a bit lacking, but it seems like it would be useful for formal occasions or when you want to create a more subdued look. It has a good powdery feel, and because it's a single color, it's not a throwaway color compared to palettes, so I'll definitely buy it again.
