Probably the most gorgeous shimmering warm brown colour I have ever used, perfect for really dramatic smokey eyes with a twist. Makes my eye colour really pop. I use it with a primer and a wet brush.

I am Asian/ very pale skin with cool tone, very very dark eye.
almost black.
( also I was told that I am cool tome by Color cordinater)
always I am looking for color which makes my eye pop out.
( stand out ) my fave is nars surabaya ( light side of the duo)
sex kitten is much more reddish than surabaya
this eyeshadow makes my eyes really stand out.
I love it!!!

Love, Love, Love this eyeshadow! The best way I can describe the color is chocolate copper with a coppery shimmer. It is a perfect shade for blending other colors and it also looks good alone. good staying power (with my HG Urban Decay primer). I would purchase this again but I will probably never run out. A little goes a long way with this product.

Love this color so much! I would always swipe some on my hand at the store and say "I love this color!" Finally bought some and love the way it looks on my eyes. Beautiful with blue eyes!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this eyeshadow! My all time fav! I use this as my everyday eyeshadow. It is beautiful year around and looks AMAZING with my blue/green eyes. Makes them pop like crazy. I always get compliments on my eyes when I wear this color bc it's so goegeous with light eyes. Great for casual/dressy looks as well. I've also got friends/clients hooked too! The packaging is my only complaint bc it can be messy, but that's just the way BE packages their loose products. The pot lasts me months, and that's using it almost everyday! Worth the price, in my opinion. I apply it with a sponge tip applicator (and blend with a regular eyeshadow brush) and that makes the color much more intense. Color has lots of shimmery pigment to it. I will never be without this color in my collection and I am an eyeshadow freak! All you light eyed gals go get it! You'll be obsessed like me!!

I have to admit I am more of a liner gal than a shadow gal and especially where this colour is concerned - it makes THE most amazing liner I have green eyes and it really makes them stand out. I always use these wet so they last until I want to take them off, this pot will last forever I was fortunate to get an outer sealed pot which will last years unless I drop it!

I really love the product. It is very highly pigmented. The price is very cheap for its quality. The color is pretty. The only downside of this is it is loose eyeshadow, and it's a little messy to use. But absolutely love the quality, the color, the product.

i'm really not a fan of this color, i'm actually in the process of returning it. it goes on really dark, much darker than other bare escentuals products. i like bare escentuals eyeshadows BECAUSE they're somewhat sheer and easily blended, this is not. if you rubbed clay and glitter on your eyes, it would do the same thing.

I love the shade--beautiful, coppery-bronze, shimmery shadow, BUT I will never repurchase products from BE. I think they charge so much for what little product they offer. Most loose shadows are 0.05 oz, BE is only 0.02 for 13+dollars. I'd rather buy a MAC pigment for $20 and get 0.2 oz of great product. The only BE shades I like are the glimmers. I will prolly never run out, but I would still recommend this shade because it's so darn pretty.

Disappointing for me. I think it may be oxidizing on my skin or something, because I get strange almost-black streaks into this slightly red-toned dark copper as I apply it. I have never got this effect before. Even though I have somewhat dark neutral beige coloring, this looks too dark on my eye for me to like it. It looks dirty whether I apply it dry or wet. I think I can use it cautiously on my lower lid or as an eyeliner, but I won't get this again. It does not hold up as well as other BE shadows, either.

Best brown eyeshadow I've ever used...hands down. It's rich and warm like hot chocolate, and is super blendable. perfect for wearing on the outer corners of your eyes for a sultry smoky cat eye-esque vibe. I think it looks the best paired with true gold. Beautiful...long lasting...perfect if you want a light wash of color that you can layer later for dark sultry bedroom eyes. Not as sparkly as I wanted it when it's on but wonderful non the less

Not as shimmery or as red as I was expecting it to be. It is a muted darkish brown on me. I still like it though. It works well for a smokey eye. & of course I hate bare minerals packaging...it is a mess but i guess it can't be packaged any other way so i will deal because i really like all their glimmers and e/s's.

I did not just lose this!!! Being that this is one of my favorite eyeshadows/glimmers, beautiful for bedroom, smokey, sultry eyes. You can experiment and use it as a liner, wet or dry, and is shimmery but has a little reddish color in it to keep it from being just a bland dark brown. Now I have to search all my purses and any possible hideout spots for it, ahhhh..

I love love love this, I can use it alone or with basically any shadow. Usually I use it over NYX's Beanie. The shimmer & color is perfect, and it goes on & blends very easily. One thing i really like is the packaging, it doesnt dispense too much product. When i bought my first BE shadow, i ripped off the sifter thinking it was supposed to come off.. oops

Sex Kitten is a coppery, shimmery eyeshadow that, on me because of my tan skin tone, goes on way lighter than it looks in the pan. That works fine for me because its still a very pretty color, and it lasts a while. The shimmer stays where its put. On fairer skin this would be perfect!

I was sort of discouraged the first time I had used this product as a shadow. It was sheer and the sparkles ended up on my cheeks by the end of the night. One day I needed an eyeliner and thought I'd give it a try. I ran the faucet and dipped my liner brush in water and then in the shadow... then swirled it in the cap. Then applied it as eyeliner. I LOVE IT. It really made my blue eyes a whole lot brighter. I then used the gold (True Gold I think?) and lined the inside corners of my eyes... that really made my eyes even more blue.

I love this one for the famous "smokey eye". It is a dark brown, which gives the smokey eye a little different look. Used wet, it makes a serious statement.

A really pretty medium chestnut brown (meaning it has a warm, slightly reddish undertone) with a faint goldish sheen. It's not a spectacularly unique color in the eyeshadow world, but what I like about it is its versatility. Swept on dry, it is quite sheer, subtly smoldering and appropriate for daytime. Wet, it becomes much redder and deeper--a fiery copper-brown. Love the fine texture and subtle, silky gleam. These are great values since the pots are really large and you don't need much at all for each application (unless you want to go all Tammy Faye Bakker). Would repurchase if I run out.



Sex Kitten is the one in the lower left-hand corner. (The rest are Revlon Molten Bronze, Ulta Chianti, NYX Jazzy Bronze, L'Oreal On The Loose in Vintage, L'Oreal OTL in Beachy Keen)

Sex Kitten is my very favorite BE shadow. It's a sparkling reddish brown. Very, very pretty with blue eyes.
