ConsIt washes off completely when you tear up. Most disappointingly, I bought it because it was advertised as a cool tone, but it has a deep undertone color. When I apply it to my eyes, it appears more coral than pink
TipI wouldn't recommend this for those with very cool undertones

Since my other eyeshadows are mostly neutral colors, this was perfect for days when I wanted a brighter look without going overboard. The texture is so soft and powdery, making it easy to blend with my fingers. It doesn't work well with brushes though. While it's a bit pricey, it's versatile and worth grabbing during sales. I wish the shimmer was a bit less intense, then it could've been great for lining lips too. For now, I'm using it for eyeshadow and as a blush.
ConsAs I don't have a cool complexion, the color payoff was somewhat different from Too Cool For School's swatches. On my skin, it had a strong coral undertone for some reason. I was hoping for a clear pink, but it's not unpleasant, so I'm satisfied. The biggest drawback of Protalage might be how easily the core breaks. Also, due to its formula, the staying power isn't very strong. There are a few other minor issues, but they don't feel like real cons, so I'm still using it happily.
TipOn busy mornings, just swipe it on and blend with your fingers - you're done! If you find the staying power weak, try applying it over an eye primer. That way, the color won't fade even after a few hours.
