BareMinerals’ Vogue

This was, as far as I can tell, an extremely limited-edition shade. It's a brownish-red that softens a bit from how it looks in the pot, but actually leans a little more red. The pearl finish is nice enough - softens the shade without washing it out too much - but I can understand how a color like this is just…confusing. It doesn't smoke out or blend too well, but it isn't dark enough to use for a liner or, really, even much in the way of contouring. (And most people don't want reddish contour anyway. It looks too much like a wound or an allergic reaction.)

A montage of three images: top left, close-up of the eyeshadow in the pot; top right, the eyeshadow mixed with water and applied to bare skin; bottom left, the eyeshadow applied dry over primer.

The color payoff is decent, it has good staying power, and doesn't stain bare skin. But…shade-wise, it's not quite as easy to use or to pair with other colors.
