A dark olive bronzey gold color on my NC30. I love this color so much! It makes a great dark eye for everyday.

i owned this for quite a while before i gave it to a friend. that may imply that i didnt like it, but thats not the case! its a really pretty olivey-gold color, and it looked ok on my skintone, but said friend was looking for a similar color, and i think it'll look GREAT with her coloring. i'm quite pale, but shes a little darker and warmer in tone than i am.
the pigment in this is GREAT, i always had to be careful not to apply too much at once.
the packaging gave me no problems, never had trouble opening it, and after YEARS in my MU case being jostled around it never broke.
i rated this as a "yes" to rebuying :)

As one reviewer described this color as a dirty olive green with tarnished green metallic sheen they were right. Anyhow its a lovely color for my dark eyes. I just wish for more mattes from this line. Also I just wish they had more staying power w/o a base as but I guess with my oily lids what more can be asked for. I got this at its regular price just wish I had gotten in like many others for cheaper!

This is a dirty olive green with a tarnished gold metallic sheen. Milani shadows are of nice quality. This one has great pigmentation. I'm not sure how long they last alone since I wear all my shadows with a base. I won this on Ebay for 1 cent with $2 shipping!!

I wish this looked as pretty ON as it appears in the packaging, but alas, it just doesn't (for me anyway). It really casts an unflattering, dingy "glow" (lol) – not pretty! Basically made my eyelid skin look dirty. yikes. I was disappointed, too, because I have nothing else negative to say about the product. (Although the shade itself being ugly would override anything else I'd have to say, I suppose.)

I've had this for years and can't believe I never reviewed this, considering it was my first Milani eyeshadow. It's creamy and pigmented to apply and is more of a golden olive color. Very flattering on brown eyes, and is very long lasting.

Beautiful golden-olive color. Highly pigmented and blendable. Great price and high quality. Packaging on these singles could be improved upon, as they are awkward to open, but if you de-pot anyways, it won't matter.

I actually really like this antique gold color- it's actually an light olive color despite the name. it's quite pigmented. and the texture is quite smooth and nice. i don't like the packaging b/c i find it hard to open. other than that, i would surely recommend everyone w/ a yellow/golden undertone to try it.

Perfect medium olive shade with a subtle gold sheen to it. It isn't a sheer shadow nor is it an intense shadow (but can be if you build it). The more you buff it, the more the gold in it comes out. I generally don't buff it too much since I don't want anything too shimmery. Love wearing this with black eyeliner and Milani Sheer Sand as a highlight. Took a lippie off because the packaging on this really sucks...I bend my nail every time I open it.

This was just alittle too olive for my eye color, but with that being said, i really liked the quality and staying power of this eye shadow. I usually mix shadows together. I hardly ever wear just one shade at a time, this worked nice as an enhancer right under my eyebrow. It put a nice soft glow to the darker color I had on my lids. If it wasn't so olive/yellow, I would have loved this more, but I can't complain too much, because I absolutely love Milani cosmetics!

Gorgeous color. Nicely pigmented. I bought this buy one get one free, so it was only $1.50. Love it as much as my MAC

Great olive color. Looks nice with my pale skin and copper/green eyes. Nice for a crease color or even an all over color at night. Love the texture of these eyeshadows.

I LOVE this shadow. It's a perfect shade on my fair olive-y yellow skin tone. It's great on its own or over some black bean jumbo eye pencil by nyx. I usually smoke it out to just over my crease and lighten up my inner corner with some sort of a highlighter shade. Black kohl rim and some mascara and I'm out the door with a daytime-appropriate smokey eye. Since it's greenish, it's not too overwhelmingly dark.

I love this eyeshadow, it's so pretty! a nice golden olive green, nice pigmentation & texture. I use this as a liner, or blend it up very slightly for a subtly smoky look. supposedly a sumptuous olive dupe...? don't own SO so idk continued >>

I was reading all the reviews, and then realized I own it! I don't use e/s every day, but when I do, this is one of the ones I reach for, I use it in the crease and at the outer corner of my lashes and it really brings out a bit of green in my eyes. I like to blend it well and love the slightly shimmery look it gives me. It looks even better when I have slightly tan, summer skin. Also great for night.

In the pan this looks like a metallic olive green with gold shimmer. Absolutely stunning in the packaging, but not pleasant at all on my eyelids. This looks a little too bruisey on my pale skin, and it isn't even flattering worn as an eyeliner. This doesn't shimmer on my skin as much as it does in the pan, and that is a disappointment. I wouldn't buy this again, although the quality is excellent like all Milani shadows. continued >>

This is one of the best olive greens I have ever worn. It stays on all day. The price is super affordable. The packaging is OK. I love it. I bought another one just in case they discontinue this shade. I read the other reviews and never thought of using it for a eyeliner but I'm going to try it.

I have this on my arm right now, right next to Stila's La Douce and Urban Decay's Chained. These three are VERY similar on my light-med warm toned skin. The only ones of these brands whose e/s I have is Stila's, so I can't comment on the quality of UD or Milani, but since Milani's only cost $3, that's the one I went home with :) I'll update on the quality/durability later, but I am very pleased with the color. Totally comparable to higher end brands.

This is a nicely pigmented shadow of a goldish-greenbrown with shimmer. I use it to line my eyes using a flat brush or as a shadow and it lasts a pretty long time and the color saturation is strong. This would look good especially on green or brown eyes. And for 3.99 and change its a great deal.
