Beauty from the Earth’s Girl Next Door

This color is described as a “brown-based coral”, like pinked clay. When I went to buy the color during the supersale on mattes (before the Massive Reformulation) this color wasn't originally marked as on sale. When I asked, I was told that the batch was not true to color. I decided to get it anyway - and I'm glad I did. I'm still looking forward to trying some on-spec Girl Next Door, but this sundried adobe shade is very nice with my coloring. The orange tones accent my eyes, but it's not so deep that I look ill or sleep-deprived. (I do have to be careful about warm neutrals looking too orange for that very reason.) It is one of the older-formula BFTE mattes, so there's no shimmer at all. I thought the adhesion was okay, but again I'm looking forward to trying this out in its on-spec color mixture, with the reformulation.
