No it's not you, even with a base it's a very light peachy pinky duo-chrome. It's a great highlighter or I wear it on my inner lid & crease with Juxt on my outer lid and Nylon under the brow for a pretty summery eye look. The gold in Juxt brings out the gold in it and I love it that way. Or you can wear it over another shade to change the color up a bit, add some warmth to it. It's actually pretty versatile.
