BareMinerals’ Golden Sunset

I think I've seen this shade before from BE - possibly one of the colors in the Cabanarama kit? At any rate, this one seems to have fairly good coverage and decent pigmentation. The color has just enough brown tones to not make my skin look jaundiced, but this particular shade doesn't work easily or well with my coloring. It's difficult to tell how well this lasts, since I tend to use it as an edge color and blend it out a bit; but I don't have to layer it to get color payoff, and it doesn't vanish within a few hours. But I do use it minimally, so…there may be slight fading around the edges, and I just can't tell because of how I wear it. The finish is borderline between a rough pearl and a softened shimmer. In some lights this might look like a satin finish, particularly if applied dry.
