Something signature about UD's eyeshadows is that they love to fade after an hour. However, that faded color (be it the entire wash on the lid without primer, or some fading around the edges if with primer) usually wears well for hours. Kush didn't disappoint in either expectation. With primer, its magical vibrancy disappated, and without, the whole wash looked dull after about an hour. After that, the colors stayed put and didn't budge for 9 hours.

Kush feels a little, ever so slightly, dry in the pan when you dip your brush into it. But there's no issues with stiffness or blendability. It went on smooth and even, and I didn't have any issues with fallout (miraculous for a UD shadow with glitter-the micro glitter in this was fine and didn't irritate the eyes. Nor did it lend a disco ball look).

The color certainly isn't a "grass green." It goes on (over primer) much more meadowy. It's unarguably green, but its a soft green, lacking the depth and richness of a shade like grass. While a decent green in this particular shade has evaded me at drugstores, I like Kush for what it offers-pigment, color, longevity, ease of use-but it's still just a ho-hum shade of green.
