In the latter half of 2012, BFTE reformulated their matte shadow colors for better adhesion and color payoff. The new formula gave mattes that were about on par with the average Aromaleigh v2 matte, or slightly better. There were a few colors that I tried that seemed a bit more sheer...
I'm not seeing the olive, nor the pink in this shade. So if you violently object to olive eyeshadows…no worries on this one. This reads a definite brown, to me. A softer brown, better for soft shadowing than adding much contour; and a soft enough color that on deeper...
The wet application of this color is gorgeous - non-hard metallic with old-gold coloring and faint flecks of deep blue. The dry application really surprised me with its contrast: extremely soft, almost semisheer. I like using this color as a lower-lashline accent, because it adds a hint of color but...

I was so thrilled when this color was added to the lineup! I think that first, it debuted in the 24/7 liquid eyeliner range. Next in these eyepencils. I like wearing hot pink (not fuchsia, hot pink) on my eyelids - it accents my blue eyes, really makes the color stand...
