1 coat, with topcoat

Marc Jacobs Petra is an intriguing plummy taupe packed with multicolored shimmer. I hoped to show how complex this shade is by capturing both the plum (pinky) and taupe (middle) tones. The shimmer really comes alive with topcoat. Without it, Petra looks more like a smooth foil.



The formula is thick and pigmented. Petra is opaque in one thick coat, but two thin coats would probably be easier to apply.



This is definitely my favorite of the few colors I picked up! What are are your favorites from the Marc Jacobs Beauty line?



Marc Jacobs 140 Petra retails for $18 and is available at Sephora.
