NYX Cosmetics’ Mink Pearl

This color is right on the border of wearability for me. It's got gold tones, but just enough brown in it that it doesn't make me look jaundiced…or like I'm healing from a pair of black eyes. I do have to be careful what colors I wear this with, though, because if I wear it with cool browns the result just looks discordant. Oddly enough, I can wear this with deeper purples, even blue-based purples, and it works nicely.

The pigmentation level is good, and this adheres about as well as the other Pearl Mania colors do: if you don't use a primer, it'll migrate.
