I LOVE IT<3 x gazillion!!

Price: $27 CAD
Colour:(dry) maroony brown with aqua&mint green reflects | (wet) dark maroon-brown/aqua and teal reflects
Finish: frosty
Texture: creamy

When blended out, it turns a purple-maroon with teal sheen. I love using this on my crease&outer V or (sometimes) all over for a dramatic look.
Since it's a duochrome different colours show on diff base colours:
• Charcoal- electric teal with hints of maroon
•Silver- smokey brown/turquoise
•Brown- maroon with hints of aqua
•Maybelline Color Tattoo 'Tenacious Teal'- teal/chocolate brown
Dramatic yet versatile enough for daytime
Try it! I dare u ;) continued >>

Ah, Blue-Brown. It sits in my case of rarely-used makeup and reproaches me. But I can't get it to work for me -- the brown base is far too red. It's almost passable if I use with a very wet brush, over a greyish or blueish base, but it's a lot of work and still... too red. I love the concept but it's just too hard to use.

I got this pigment in a sample size and I did some research on it a little before buying. I love the color Club by Mac and this is very similar to it but more pigmented. It blends amazingly. I smudged out a black eyeliner along my upper lash line and smudged it up onto my lid. Then applied the pigment using patting motions, then blended it out using a blending brush. It was so cool to see it blend up from green/blue to a reddish brown color. I only had one eyeshadow on, besides the brow highlight and it looked like I spent way more time on my eye makeup! I do recommend not wearing this color of you have a cold though. The reddish brown brought out the red in my face from being sick and sleep deprived. Also can accentuate dark circles and bags so wear on a day you are healthy and well rested hahaha because I felt kind of odd with it on while being sick and tired. Lesson learned. Wear eye brightening makeup on days like these! ;)

A little too warm for me personally.. but it's a pretty color. It's like a milk chocolate brown with teal shimmer.

I love love LOVE this pigment, keeping in mind the fact that I'm not a big fan of duochromes! In the jar it is a gorgeous deep, velvety-looking brown with shimmers of what looks to me like green (but I'm slightly colorblind, so it might look different to other people). When you swatch it on your hand, the green becomes more blue, and the brown lightens up to to a lovely dark chocolate color. The best way I can describe the duochrome shimmer is that it looks wet, almost glossy on the eye. This pigment is great to use with brown smokey eyes-it adds such an amazing pop.

I keep finding a small jar of this in my stash and have never used it till recently. Someone gave this to me a couple years ago and now, after trying it, I'm so thankful! I've never used or seen MAC's Club but I have Wet and Wild's Night Elf and Comfort Zone 8 pan and supposedly both palettes have Club dupes in them. I can say that the Club knock offs in the WnW palettes are very similar to Blue Brown. Blue Brown has more brick red shade in it and the chrome blue and green are much more vivid. What I love about the Blue Brown pigment is that it kind of does the work for me when I apply it. I don't need to use a color in the crease as the brick red pigment in this acts as a crease color and the chrome just punches the color up. This pigment looks as if I applied a wash of brick red brown over my lids and crease and then separately applied two metallic pigment shades over it. The fact that I get this look from just one application is amazing to me. I've not tried using this wet yet but one of these days I will. When I run out I'll be looking to get more as it's a really fantastic HG item. Would give this a 10 if I could!

i managed to get the 7.5g jar because mac don't do these jars anymore and they come in smaller versions, but i got mine from good seller 100% authentic pigment. 7.5g lasts you forever, first i did all my reasearch about this and it is known that this pigment is great for smoky eye looks and gives a pop and a great spice to your look. blue brown appealed to me because on reviews on youtube people had mentioned its a unique colour with flects of red and blue. when i atually recieved it was beautiful and i played around with this colour for while and i would say this is a really different colour and would be hard to find same as mac. i will be using this on eye lid with CRANBERRY AND BROWN ON CREASE AREA, and any vanilla yellowish colour which is also in 120 palette. [ yellowish white colour 120 palette], i would purchase this again but i dont think i would need to because a little goes long way and 7.5g was the best what mac sold so if you've reasearched on a colour you like,, try to get 7.5g because favs you'll use often and its a colour 2 die for and you'll always want. price could be cheaper but i guess its worthit.

I LOVE this pigment! I think this is the most prettiest and unique color and it shows up well especially with a base (neutral, brown or even green). I also like to layer this over Club for an extra oomph! It brings out the duochrome nicely. I would definitely buy this again but given how little goes a long way this bottle would probably last me a lifetime and probably to my daughters! Lol!
