i wasn't really expecting to like it, but i knew i would buy it anyway because i missed out on it the first time. it looked so blah in the pot. however, upon getting it home and playing with it, i see what the hype is about. it is amazing with smudged black liner for a not-too-over-the-top smoky eye, and i imagine it will blend well with brighter colors for some funkier, more colorful looks. it goes on well, and seems to blend well also. definately am looking forward to getting time to play around with it some more. i almost am considering getting a back-up, if i can find it anywhere.

Love it!!! I bought it solely based on everyone's high opionion of it, so thanks guys! I use it as a crease shadow. It's very versatile; goes with everything. I especially like it with Whisper and Gallant.

I love this color! It's smokey looking hot!! Other than a brow highlight color and some liner, I can rock this eyeshadow by itself. I want a back up now and at first, I was not even going to order Moth Brown. Who knew!

Applied with a light hand and paired with magic dust this is a perfect work look for me. I decided to go with a lot of black liner and mascara and it looks great that way too! I bought two of these and may even buy a 3rd - this is an eyeshadow color I've never seen before. It is most similar, imho, to shu uemura's metallic silver, but it's less sparkly/shimmery. Considering that was my "everyday" eyeshadow, I like Moth Brown even more because it's a bit more adult-looking.

I didn't think I'd like Barbie all that much but the colors are SO wearable on me (nw20, dark auburn hair, hazel/green eyes). I'm also loving Don't Be Shy blush, Pearl Blossom BP and Sweet n' Single lipstick - along with the MB and MD, this is a perfect work look. I just can't figure out what eyeliner to wear with this combo - any suggestions??

I'm new to "Moth Brown," too, and it is a little dark, but I used the following today:
Stila "Cloud" lashes to [approximately] brows
"Moth Brown" applied with a crease brush(MAC 224 or similar) to creases and outer corners
"Magic Dust" in inner corners and on brow bones
This combination seemed to work fine on me(NW15; brunette; green eyes). I think maybe the key with "Moth Brown" is to use it sparingly, only in small areas like outer corners and creases.

my MA did my make-up with moth brown and beauty burst and honestly i thought i would never own either color....i was really surprised and love it but now i just need to find some good combos besides star violet and beauty burst to work with it on me. i'm debating as to wether i should buy a back-up...i hate when i think i will never buy a color and then end up loving it once i try it out....

I just bought it too, and I haven't tried it yet but swatched in on my hand. I love it! It's such a perfect colour for wearing at the office when you want a more subtle smokey eye, as it's not too harsh. I think it will work wondefully with a lot of the shadows I have...

I haven't gotten a back-up of "Moth Brown" yet. Do you all think I should, or is there a permanent color that's comparable?

I wore it today with Mystical Mist (a dark grey-purple) and it looks great. Try it with purples!

I could also see it working with navy blue and silver shades. It doesn't really show up as a warm brown on me at all.

I've got it on today as a crease colour with Seedy Pearl on the lid. It's quite subtle and it does look brown (it definitely DOESN'T on the pot IMHO)... tonight I'm going to try something more dramatic with it. It's a really complex shade isn't it...
