Drama is a gorgeous medium bronzey brown that is great in the crease when wearing a lighter color (Nude Beach, Celestine), or all over the lid when doing a smokey eye. For some reason I felt this went on sheerer than some of my other glimmers in this color family, but it still builds well. Comparable to Q. Tiffany, less bronzey though.

I got a generous sample of this in a swap last year, and I was so pleased!! This, with Sex Kitten, is my favorite BE Glimmers.
This is a lovely shimmery deep chocolate brown, more on the cool side, but not too grey-ish. Perfect to create a dramatic smokey eyes look. Looks pretty on my hazel eyes + PPP complexion. In the tin, it looks a little bit similar to Queen Tiffany but IMHO Drama is more flattering since Queen Tiffany was definitely too gray/silvery for me.
I love these Glimmers and I agree with the review below: they are very finely milled and have such a fine texture. Easily blendable, HIGHLY pigmented and long-lasting. A must-have.

This is my first BE glimmer and I am in love!! If all the other glimmers are like this then I can see my collection of glimmers will soon grow! This is a perfect shimmery taupe color; a silvery brown shade that is gorgeous. The texture is very different from MAC pigments; glimmers are more finely milled and doesn't have that gritty texture that some pigments have. Overall it's very pigmented, has tons of shimmer in an understated way and not a chunky glitter type of way, and blends well. Doesn't crease or fall onto your cheeks and lasts all day.

This is a shimmery gray brown and works best as an e/l for me. When I use this as a e/s it fades to a nasty gray color w/no shimmer on me.

This is a beautiful silvery brown. I would say it's probably a loose version of Urban Decay's stray dog. This is a gorgeous shade on it's own.It's shimmery and is long lasting.

This is a cool deeper brown, great as a liner shade or even a crease shade.
Dry, it goes on a med/deep shimmery brown with heavy silver/taupe tones, but WET is a brilliant shimmery almost metallic pewter that is unspeakably beautiful!!!!
I accidentaly got some on my freshly mascara-d eyelashes when applying, and it made my eyelashes all shimmery, so i decided to go with it....stunning!
Highly recommend this one, I'd repurchase in a second!

Another beautiful brown from BE. This color will work for anyone, from the palest blond to deep toned brunette. It is a medium-to-deep dark chocolate glimmer that is absolutely beautiful. Add it to your makeup collection as a staple. This shade works great for day, applied all over the eye area or for evening apply a bit heavier or try it wet for a beautifully dramatic look.

I realized I don’t own any brown eyeshadows. The closest I have is probably MAC Beauty Marked, or Maroon pigment, neither of which are brown at all. So I figured I ought to break down and buy one no matter how much I don’t wear brown. This is a good brown on me- it’s a cooler, very sparkly dark brown- think dark chocolate or something. It does look nice with my dark hair and eyes- I could see doing a nice smokey eye with this. But will I wear it much? That remains to be seen. But most people who like browns will probably need this.

A beautiful dark taupe (with shimmer). It's very versatile- can be worn during the day (apply with a light hand, to create a wash of color) or at night (smokely eyes). Darker than Chanel's eyeshadow in Vega.

This is such a pretty crease/liner color. It's a glimmery brown with a sort of mauvery purpley cast to it. I just love it, gorgeous.

Ignore the name :) Drama is a sparkling brown-taupe that is one of my essentials. Not overly dramatic, it is a staple that looks good on any eye color, and while it's shimmery, it's not OTT like some BE glimmers. It's a rare day that I don't wear this.

Drama does for me what Chanel Vega didn't -- on my GGG skin and pigmented lids, it gives me that smoky silvery taupe look, without the ashy look. I guess Drama is warm enough and/or dark enough for my skintone, whereas Chanel Vega just wasn't.
But I'll stop talking smack about Vega and focus on the sparkly goodness of Drama. This is a loose powder e/s which is a smoky gray-taupe with plum and brown tones, with a healthy dose (as opposed to unhealthy overload) of iridescent sparkle. Simply put, it's TDF, dahling.

This is the nicest taupe on me. Not too shimmery but very blendable to adjust intensity. It's more with grey undertone than coppery which I couldn't wear well (like Q Tiffany). One of the best BE glimmers.

This is a really pretty warm dark taupey brown. I am a self admitted BE junkie and have a huge collection of glimmers. This is one of the few warm colors I wear. It looks gorgeous as a crease color paired with Celestine or Nude Beach. I have worn this as an eyeliner too. A reminder to all of you MUAers...*BE must be applied over an eyeshadow primer or the colors fade quickly* I use BeneFit F.Y...Eye, it is the best thing I have found yet!

Drama is a gorgeous shimmery taupe color. This would be a great color for those with more conservative tastes to try because the color is not "over the top". Great color for the not-so-conservative too!
