Moth Brown.....why do you love it?
I am trying to decide what e/s to get from the Barbie collection. The one thing I have noticed is that Moth Brown seems to come up over and over again. People seem excited about this repromote, and since this shade was released before I got into MAC I was wondering something. To all of you lovelies who have tried this shade, can you tell me why you love it? Thanks

Not brown, not grey either... blends easily and does a great smoky eye.

Re: Moth Brown.....why do you love it?
I love this shade. I will get a back up for sure.
Its a unique colour and goes well with so many other e/s. I love it with taupe e/s, aqua colours, brown, but the combinations are endless.
Great as liner, smokey eye, perfect for crease and contour.

Re: Moth Brown.....why do you love it?
I love it because it's really unique and flattering on me. Its dark brown but it flashes silver in the light and it has a purple tone to it.

I swear I'm going to laugh if they change something on the formula orsomething and it's not quite the same.

Ugh, that would be a nightmare!!! Don't even joke. I'll wind up with 5 of the same crappy eyeshadow :P

Anyway, MB is soooo unique and gorgeous. It's a very rich grey with cool brown undertones, and flashes silvery and purpley. It's multitonality (is that a word) makes it easy to pair with lots of colors. For me it's the perfect shade for a smokey eye, and about as dark as I can go with NC15 skin and green eyes. I like it with dark, smokey greens (Greensmoke or maybe Nightlight) and cool pale purples (Beautiful Iris or maybe Lovely Lily).

I think back when it first came out we likened it to a crushed moth wing, thus the name. And it's pretty much right on.. it's got that delicate, iridescent quality despite being relatively dark. It's go great!!!

Re: Moth Brown.....why do you love it?
It's a unique color, at least to me. It's a cool brown with grey and purple undertones, I love it in the crease with Kitschmas and Lovely Lily, or as a liner with pinks and lighter purples.

Re: Moth Brown.....why do you love it?
If you are warm w/ yellow undertones, will it make you look bruised? I was just wondering because people are saying its kinda purpley.

I would definitely get it, but I have a colour very similar already.

Nope, there's no red or pink in it. I very often look bruised in purple shades, but not Moth Brown

Re: Moth Brown.....why do you love it?
We'll have to see, but it's like Pleasureflush or Stereo Rose...re-release it and it's just not quite right.

Re: Moth Brown.....why do you love it?
What formula is it; anyone know?? I'm thinking Veluxe Pearl, but I'm not sure...If it's a VP, I'll have to break down and get it (may just have to even if it's not). VP's are fantastic!
