Opened and used several times. Tip of the stick is lightly wiped with tissue paper. This is such a lovely reddish brown with a bit of shiny effect to it! I didn’t need anything else but this and I live the fact that I can just throw it in my bag and go out. I wasn’t big fun of the texture that I could not blend well with my fingertips nor brush so i decided to stick with my old school powder eyeshadows.
