NYX Cosmetics’ Penny Pearl

Looks like a dark copper-red in the vial, applies with definite pinkish-red undertones. If you're looking for a true copper, or something more orange, this one may not be your best bet. I love the color, though I kind of wish it was more coppery.

Application is fairly good, but without a base or primer of some kind I get creasing pretty quickly. It can't last a full day without primer (like UDPP) and occasional touch-ups. Still, at $1.50 from places like Beauty Joint, this isn't a bad product. Just be sure and read all of the ingredients - they're fairly minimal, but even though this is loose powder, it doesn't fall under what most people think of as “mineral makeup”.
