    Looks like a rich dark chocolate brown with golden shimmer in the pan. On me it wears more like black-brown with only faint shimmer. Great as a liner. Will update once I try it wet. (Part of the...

    This is ideal as a cake eyeliner that lasts all day. It is better than things that are actually marketed as cake eyeliner. As a shadow it's difficult to work with unless you are an expert.

    You need very little and it will show up as a medium-dark brown (no red in it). If used heavily it shows up almost as black--but definitely still brown. Can be used as a crease colour or smudged...

    What a huge disappointment this was! Swatched with finger it definitely picked up the shimmer but once applied to the lid it translated as black and no shimmer whatsoever. I even used Too Faced...

    Mekong is a gorgeous deep espresso color with gold sparkles. I love using it to line my upper lashes. It is much softer than black, but yet deeper and richer than a standard dark brown shadow. Very...

    Such a good quality eye shadow. It's dark brown with golden sparkles in the pan but when I put it on it comes out more black/brown with no sparkles. If I wet the brush first some sparkles show....

    This is deep dark brown with gold sparkles added to it. It is so dark that it is perfect to use it either for smokey eye or as a liner.

    Ok, so this one is a bit disappointing on. In the pan, it looks like a rich, complex bronze/brown... like a beetle's back or gilding in an incense-enveloped Cambodian template. It's really a rich,...

    Mekong is a beautiful shade -- a deep, complex espresso with gold shimmer. It is very heavily pigmented, and I really only use it as an outer corner accent, as it's very dense and is (for me) a bit...
