I totally agree! I absolutely LOVE it on other people, especially on my nc40 best friend but on my skin it looks like tarnished jaundice.

French cuff (eww) and stars n rockets. Everyone loved it, but when I put it on, it makes me look like I was punched in the eye.

really?! I also use NC35 and mulch is my HG, I've been using it for 7 years now.

sorry it didn't work out for you.

I definately could have gone without buying Vex. Color payoff sucks if it's used alone.

HOWEVER- It looks pretty rockin' over Blackground p/p.

 

[Boasorte]

hands down mine is Orange
I hate Orange with a passion, I don't use it

 

[Face2Mac]

Bamboo. Mine is hard and I have to scrape it get a color pay-off. I know it is matte and I can deal with the rest of my mattes but this, NO.

Honey Lust!

OMG!!!! Not much color pay off, applies unevenly even when blended, and wayyyy to chunky/glittery. I use it as a MSF!

 

[Nicala]

Newly Minted = HORRID!
The pigmentation of it sucks, even if you pack it on and blend another color in the crease it completely disappears. I can't ever figure out what to wear it with. Waste of money to me, IMO

Same here. I love the way it looks in the pan but on my eyelid it looks terrible (although I did my friend's eye makeup the other day and on her it looked gorgeous - she's much darker than me though). I keep using it over and over hoping for different results, but each time I am dissapointed

. Maybe I'll just stick to using it on my friends, instead of on myself.

Another one I don't like is Pollinator. It is such light color, it hardly shows up on my skin, it's just not what I expected at all

.

lol I think I may be the only person here that actually likes Trax! But I agree with Beauty Marked. I never use it because it's just not what I expect it to be! Such a bummer!

 

[cherryjane]

I have Retrospeck and I probably should've passed on it - I never use it! The glitter is too chunky for me!

 

[x_ladydanger]

I don't have many but I got Electric Eel not long ago and it doesn't look like it does in the pan at all. Not impressed!

 

[Lovelynuts]

Oh man, I wish every post came with pictures. 90 % of all the colors you're talking about I have no idea what they look like... I'm such a newbie, hehe

 

[Merry_go_round]

Honey lust, the finish is lustre and when I apply it, I have it all ove my face, more than on the lid.

 

[Jacklynuh]

Beauty Marked! Looks BEAUTIFUL just as an eyeshadow, looks nothing like it when you swatch it. What a shame.

 

[esmey]

newly minted e/s! ugh!

Warm Chill - it's such a pretty seafoam-y green in the pot, but has very little color payoff

Gleam - another really pretty color, but takes layers and layers to actually show the shade that matches the pot! Otherwise, it's just a layer of sheer glitter

Probably due to its Lustre finish...lustre pigmentation usually isnt as good as other finishes
