NYX Cosmetics’ Epic Wear Liner Stick in Gilded Taupe

I love that this is almost a tan base with an aged-gold shimmer over the top. It’s closer to a neutral color than a yellow-gold, so that might make it wearable to people who can’t really easily wear true-gold-colored shadows or liners. It’s a little patchy, which seems to be endemic to the metallic shades in this lineup. Like grey eyeliner, this gives me definition without being as stark as black (or blackened colors), as well as the light-reflecting metallic finish.
