Love this eye shadow. It's a beautiful bronzey burnt sugar color as the name says. Its just a nice color with the right amount of shimmer. Its good for every day wear and it can be used for a nice smokey eye color for a night out!!!!!!!!!

This looks amazing on my blue eyes! Although BB Fawn is my HG e/s, this isn't far behind it.


This is a slightly more-brown-than-bronze shade and warm, but not too warm. It does have a shimmery/metallic finish and goes on very smoothly over primer. There's minimal, if any, shimmer fallout and it's very pigmented, so you don't need a lot of product to get rich color. It lasts all day (over primer) and there's little or no fading or creasing.


When I wear this, it really makes my eyes stand out. I highly recommend this for anyone with blue eyes who doesn't like really warm bronzes.

I don't understand how I lived before getting this eyeshadow. This is the perfect eyeshadow for me. I love brown and this one is a beautiful golden red without much red/orange tone. It's not too shimmery. Pigmented, long-lasting. It's just gorgeous. Will repurchase it as long as they sell it.

This is my go-to shadow (with Caviar Ink Gel Eyeliner) for every day in Spring/Summer! It is such a beautiful smokey bronzey brown color. I love that it is very buildable- you can wear a sheer wash of color during the day and then reapply a few more layers for a more smokey look at night. Somehow this color seems to be a perfect balance of young and modern while still looking sophisticated and not over the top. As others have said this color is great for anyone with green in their eyes that are looking to enhance the color. Love Bobbi Brown! :)

LOVE Bobbi Brown makeup, and this is no exception. Burnt Sugar is a mid-tone shimmering bronze, more of a golden bronze than a reddish one. It's very pretty by itself, and paired with Copper Cocoa in the crease. Helps make my green eyes stand out, and stays most of the day w/out creasing.

Burnt Sugar has a metallic finish, though the shimmer is not too much for my 35+ lids. This is a bronzy brown (i.e. yellow-toned) with no red in it. It's an absolutely stunning shade for my green eyes, really makes them pop. I wear it in the crease or as a wash over the lid. Great with black mascara. I discovered that Burnt Sugar is almost exactly the same colour as UD Smog and the shimmery finish is the same too. Smog is just the tiniest bit more golden and slightly more pigmented (so Burnt Sugar is actually easier to apply). But they are practically identical. I will always want this eyeshadow in my collection. ***Me: light yellow-toned complexion, green eyes, chocolate brown hair.

BB eyeshadows are expensive if you compare them to MAC BUT you get so much more product for your money and I fond them more blendable.

I am a Warm Natural/Honey in BB and NC42/44 in MAC depending on the season.

I genrally find browns and bronzes just all look blah and I bought this cos it look so pretty but wasnt expecting that what is in the pot is what you get on the eye.

This is a fantastic colour.

I tried this at Saks on a whim. It is an amazing "richer" neutral, for me. While it is called 'metallic', it is actually a beautiful, soft shimmer - very flattering. The color is hard to describe but I find it perfect for day or night - brown bronze but not too rich... easy to apply without overdoing ... a really gorgeous hue for brown, hazel, green eyes (mine are a combo of all three). It was expensive but I'm wearing this every day so quite worth it. Love!

Burnt Sugar is a very bronze-y basic brown. I prefer to wear it in the summer over the fall and winter because of its bronze hue. Like all of Bobbi Brown's metallic shadows, at least all of the ones I've tried, the texture, pigmentation, and lasting power are excellent. Burnt Sugar is highly blendable, making it a very versatile shade that can be used to create a multitude of looks. Really brings out the green in my eyes!

This is a midtoned yellow based brown with subtle shimmer. I normally prefer more shimmer, like smashbox or urban decay. good quality, tho it may go on a bit sheer. best thing about this shade is no red tones! this makes a good crease color. it is a very "safe" choice. not too over the top and perfect for work. i discovered an exact dupe! MAC's GO eyeshadow is the same shade. GO is limited ed however.

I really like this color for summer as I go bronze/golden/brown with my makeup and start self tanning a lot. It is the same great quality of BB eyeshadows and blends well with her Bone shade. I love that it is in a case but can be popped out and switched around in my palette. The color is similar to Copper Sand Shimmer Wash eyeshadow that I bought last year but isn't as sheer.

Burnt Sugar is described on the Bobbi Brown website as "deep golden brown." The gold and the brown part are right, but I wouldn't call it deep. It's more of a mid-tone, but it sure is beautiful. I agree with the previous reviewer. It's really lovely stuff.

Can't believe there are no reviews for this yet! This is an amazing color and very useful. This is not to be confused with the palette (with 3 colors) of the same name. I almost didn't buy this because it looked very similar to BB Bronze in the pan. However, it's much darker and deeper and actually more brown than bronzey (one me, anyway). If you like Urban Decay, I would place this somewhere between Smog and Twice Baked. It's a very flattering brown color for me (usually prefer neutrals and nothing too warm). So far, my favorite ways to wear it are: 1.) as liner all around eye and BB Beige on the lid or 2.) as a crease color with pretty much any bronze or gold look or 3.) as a wash all over lid for more dramatic or dark eyes. The texture is awesome, very smooth and silky. Easy to blend. The BB eyeshadow singles are huge, so I don't think I'd ever run out. But if I did, I would re-purchase.
