I love this color. It's a pretty shimmery pinky brown. I use it all the time...during the day, all over or at night, with a darker shade for more drama. It's a must have for me.

i have to say that i love this pigmented eyeshadow! i have oily skin, and when i put this on without primer, it lasted two hours before creasing just a little bit. the color doesnt fade unless you smudge/rub it, and if you try to take it off with just water, you can still see it and the shimmer in it (not as well, but its definitely still there). the texture looks a bit chunky when you shake it into the cap, but when you put it on your lids, it's unbelievably smooth. it also comes with a little brush, which works very well with it, and i can even use it as an under-eye liner (i trace my lower lash line, under the lashes, with the side of the brush) i have this color, fiery (bright pink-magenta), and unashamed, which is a brownish-purple color that looks gorgeous for a smokey eye. overall, i think they work amazingly.

A beautiful peachy-rose-gold shimmery-almost-glittery loose pigment that looks great either wet or dry. I'm a newbie to loose pigments and loose powders.
This is a very pigmented powder, it does look 'chunky' in the jar as others have mentioned, but looks shimmery when applied. There is fall-out when applying, but not too much with care.
When I apply this with a wet brush, it doesn't smudge easily and is still very visible (lightly faded) after 8-10 hours.
I really like this color, it is neutral enough to wear anytime. I also have a couple other HIP pigments now.

I love this color! It's a very pretty metallic peachy rose color; it's just like the rose gold color in Black Hills Gold jewelry. I highly recommend this to anyone, especially those with blue eyes.

This is a very pretty glittery peachy-bronze shade. Gorgeous. I'm a bit clueless at combining other shadows w/such glittery pigments but even as just a wash, this is pretty. Next time I plan on trying this w/Satin Taupe but it seems like it would go well with many shades
Update: I posted a swatch pic of several of these shadows. Tenacious is 2nd from the left

I own over a $1000 dollars worth of eyeshadow and this is my favorite of them all. The best bronzy, non reddish color ever! I hate reddish browns and this is not reddish at all on me.


If I am in a hurry I use this, If I want something pretty...I use this. If I just want to look nice I use this! AMAZING!!!!! I love it so much!

Pick it up! You get so much product for the price and it is fantastic!

Beautiful bronzy color. I do not apply it with a base, surprisingly it looks much better without one. Looks great and doesn't crease..what more can a girl ask for

Pretty "bronze" but w/o the orange tones. Bronze taupe maybe? Very glittery so glitter fallout is bound to happen. There's tons of product in the jar.

click continue for a video of a swatch while I talk about it. you can watch the video on MUA.

I really love this! The color is a pretty shimmery peach. It goes on smoothly and evenly and if used with a primer, it barely budges throughout the day. I can't wait to try this in more shades!

this is the first loose pigment i have bought, ever. the application is easy, although i think that the particle size is a bit larger than other loose pigments in other brands, but i didn't have any trouble applying this without making a mess. the color is a pretty, shimmery peach on my lids (i have fair skin). i wish i had more of an occasion to wear this but i think it might be a little too flashy for work (just because of how shimmery it is)

it is definitely very pretty and if i do find a good use for it, i would definitely buy again.

This is my first HIP pigment. I thought this was a lighter copper color, but it goes on as a golden shimmery peach color. My cousin gave this to me unused! I wore it as a highlighter with the Progressive pigment on my lid. They look beautiful together. L'oreal pigments are very pigmented, they go on smoothly, and you get to control the intensity by using them wet or dry. The particles are slightly larger than other loose shadows, but I did not have any problems applying them. They also have a mini eye shadow brush included with each pigment, and it's in a sifter jar.

Gorgeous glam shimmery pinked/coppery/light bronzy color that would be wearable on just about all skin tones. Why pay $20 for MAC's tan when you can get this for so cheap?

I WOULD buy this pigment again - and am excited to do so so I can try out some other colors found within the HIP line.

This is my first HIP purchase - my first drugstore makeup brand purchase - in a long long time. I was pleasantly surprised. The brush that this pigment comes with is lovely...and the depth of the color that this pigment provides is compliment worthy. Another attribute worth complimenting? The grown up shimmer that it provides. It isnt sparkley...but it is shimmery. I am 25 and can pull this shadow off with ease. I use a taupey tan base underneath - or a cream shadow like Benefits RSVP - and this pigment provides a beautiful pop of color.

I have not used it as a liner as I do not feel the shade is dark enough...however...when this pigment is paired with a dark espresso liner it glows!

First I rated this dirt cheap because I raided my sister's make-up bag and stole this. I love this e/s. It is shimmery, but not in a "mary kate & ashley" way, more of a "beyonce" way. If that makes sense. It does look a little rough in the container as other reviewers have mentioned, but I don't think it goes on rough at all. I like it paired with a brown liner and some highlighter for work. It does crease by the end of the day, but maybe that will be enough of an excuse for me to get an eye primer and use it! I need to try some of the other colors available.

I love this color. It is a violet brown base with green reflect. I put it over my HIP shadow sticks and it looks amazing and lasts all day. I put it over a black base for drama and over a taupe base for work.

The color of this is gorgeous! It’s a beautiful bronze shimmer. Beware though; this is EXTREMELY shimmery/glittery. The texture, I find, to be a bit chunky and messy. This makes it a bit of a challenge to apply. I really like using this wet, because I find it goes in smoother. It works great as eyeliner this way. This is not an every day look for me. And contrary to popular belief, I do not think these are the same quality as Mac, and for that reason, I think they are over priced because it’s a small amount of product in comparison. I would only buy this on sale. With that said, the pigmentation is, indeed, strong. I will use this for dramatic, nighttime looks, so I imagine this will last me a long time, and I will not need to repurchase, but I would think about others, so I will say yes, though I probably actually will not. The packing is nice, compact and sturdy. The sifter keeps it tidy. I actually like the brush it came with, but I will say it’s a little stiff. I use it along with my other daily brushs.

I didn't like this product very much. The powder is fine, and it goes on pretty well, but all of the colors have this greenish shimmer to them that just looks weird. If you want green shimmer, get green shadow, but it doesn't look good thrown in with bronze or brown shadow. At least I don't think so.
