I have to say this is one of my favourite colours, it is beautiful to wear as a smokey eye but, my favourite and what I use this for mostly is to line and I use it as a wet liner. I have green eyes and this really intensifies them. This is discontinued but, if it was available I would definitely buy another as it is the pot I have is on of the old sifterless pots so will probably last me many years.
It is a beautiful brown with the most stunning silver sparkle, this would suit pretty much most skintones IMO.

I wasn't sure if this would be too much for me as it looks super-shimmery/super sparkly in the jar...no need for concern, I adore it!! It looks fab as both a liner and a shadow with my light blue eyes. I won't describe it as there's plenty of info in the prior reviews but I will say I'm pleasantly surprised at how wearable this one is...and of course, the jar will last a long time because you only need a tad for each eye...

The go-to member of my eye shadow collection. This is a smokey grey/brown (darkish, but not too dark) with a very subtle (in some lights unnoticable) silver sparkle. It goes with pretty much anything.

I have to say I bought this color because my name is also Melissa. The color is very sparkle-y compared to the other glimmers. It is a brown,gray with silver glitter. So nice for a smokey eye with MAC blacktrack smudged underneath. I also like to wear this wet as a liner which really shows the unique intensity. Love this color!!

Wild Woman Melissa is a gorgeous smokey color that looks deceptively brown in the jar. On me it looks much more gray/black with a silvery shimmer. It is gorgeous as a liner shadow (wet or dry), good for contouring in the crease, or all of the eye for a really smokey look. As I swirled in the lid, it seemed a little "grittier" than some of my other glimmers, but I think it may be that it is so pigmented and glittery. Still... love the effect it had- very multidimensional

First off, I am not a huge BE fan or a loose e/s fan. I have trashed or returned over 3/4 of my huge BE eye shadow collection. I did keep this color because it is perfect for a smoky eye look. Unlike the other posters I do not see the dark brown in this. To me this is a sparkly charcoal gray with a hint of plum. I am a ppp/lll neutral toned gal with light brown hair and green eyes. Now, even though I do love this color I am in search of a pressed e/s that will comparable. So, no I will not be buying this color again but it is simply because I do not like loose e/s.

Oh my!! I just recently purchased this, and Oh my!!! It is an everyday color for me. This is a grayish, brown with silver flecks in it. It sounds pretty busy, but it all comes together and makes my eyes noticed! LOVE THIS!!! (Try this with a touch of Snow as a highlighter in the center of the lid and brow bone!) (Also, "dirt cheap" - lasts forever at $13 a jar.)

This is a very deep bark brown color with lots of silver-purplish shimmer. However, once I put it on I lost the shimmer. Which was the real selling factor for this one. In the pot, this is a beautiful very unusaual color. On my lid, I lost the whole point of this one. I love to look at this one, however I can't seem to make it work

Wild Woman Melissa is a very stunning and unique dark brown shade with silver shimmery sparkles. Almost a deep gray v. brown. Looks great as a liner or in the crease for a smoky eye. Retails for $12 for a small jar.

Wild Woman Melissa is a sooty deep brown infused with tons of silver sparkle. I use it strictly for lining because the color is too dramatic for my taste if used on my lids. It would probably look nice on the lids for a smokey eye for evenings out on the town.
