NYX Cosmetics’ Golden Pink Chrome

A bright raspberry base, similar to TKB's Raspberry or BFTE's Lotus, with gold shimmer. The problem is…the base color applies so very very softly that it's more like a tint than a full-on shadow.

Photos that show how the product actually performs...! See how I create my swatches

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.

A few of the other NYX Chrome colors have this kind of a problem, but the overly-faint application problem seems to largely hit the Pearl Mania colors. This is one of the lesser performers from the Chrome line - which is sad, because the base shade is gorgeous and would have been a great accent for blue or brown eyes.
