I'm a cool-toned summer type. I can't stand makeup buildup. My skin tends to turn red. I bought this because I needed a safe brown eyeshadow without any glitter or blush. There are situations where you need to blend in with a group and wear makeup as a matter of etiquette... (^_^*). It's a very subtle color, with very little yellow and a hint of white, so it barely turns red or orange. It's a color that I could use even if brown doesn't suit me or I can't stand makeup buildup. However, perhaps due to my age, lack of care, and lack of skill, when I applied it to my face, the powdery texture was noticeable, giving me the opposite impression of a thick, beautiful look. Brown is just not my style... It was a bit irritating, so I decided to say goodbye. I think it would really suit someone who does. I'll continue my search for a safe shadow eyeshadow. I chose brown as a warm shadow, but it seems like I should give up on brown. I thought it would be okay since the color is so light and there is no reddish or yellowish tint, so I'm very disappointed.
