Customer feedback highlights a pleasing range of colours, smooth use with light pressure and blending, while reports about tin durability are mixed and include dents.

Positive themes

Customers report a broad colour selection and smooth application with light pressure.
Customers mention blending well and appreciate the tin's sturdy feel.

Negative themes

Some customers report that the tin arrived badly dented.

Mixed feedback

Feedback on durability is mixed, particularly regarding the storage tin.
