There are a lot of browns to choose from, but here are five of my favorites (of the moment!) that have a fair amount of shimmer. I’d love to hear your top picks for shimmery browns!
I love MUFE Pinky Earth. Stila Go Lightly and Colourpop On the Rocks might be more bronze, but also favorites.
Nice picks, Ginny!
There are really pretty but I doubt I need anymore neutrals anytime soon! Two browns I’ve been using a lot are Benefit Thanks a Latte and Urban Decay Lost
Are you sure? You don’t want another neutral palette? 😉 I feel like we never see those!
I’m surprised that I’m not have much of shimmer brown in my collection! most of my brown shades are satin or matte! I used MUFE ME658,ME614 and Colour Pop Moonshine and Makeup Geek Goddess ,Makeup Geek Pigment Blitz the most recently tho.Burberry look so promising! 🙂 I don’t have eyeshadow from this brand before too
Moonshine is quite shimmery so at least you do have one 😀
I have Burberry Nude 002 and it’s one of my fave shadows –goes with everything and lasts all day long. Now I can see why everyone raves about it
They did such a great job with that shade!
Shimmery browns are among my very favourite shadows. MUFE Iced Brown and UD Radar would be in my top 5 too, I think, along with NARS Subra (LE), and MAC Havana and Stolen Moment (both Extra Dimension formula).
You can never have too many 😉
Thanks for this post. What is the difference between “frost” and “metallic?” Thanks.
Metallic is more reflective with a smoother sheen! It’s almost like with frost you can see the bits of shimmer but metallic is more like a continuous sheen.
Grab MUFE while you can. They are closing the OC, CA store and I hear they are reavaluating the stores in LA.
Oh no!
WHAT???? NO!!!!! ?
Noooooooo!
Any cool browns you can rec?
This time I can say that I have not just 2 of the 5, but unintentionally a double of 1: UD Radar! Haha!
I love my little pan of MUFE Iced Brown in my Nudes You Need palette, it’s a beauty! But I also love that darker shade, Celestial Earth, too. Another favorite sparkly brown of my own is MAC Mulch.
Btw, MUFE ME614 Graphite Brown is on a very long MUFE wishlist! Someday, someday. ?
MUFE has so many great shimmery browns!
Mooning looks gorgeous!
UD Radar is nice one! I’d put that in my favorites as well. I actually have a ton of shimmery brown eyeshadows…it’s hard to pick favorites! I love all the brownish shades in the MUFE Nudes You Need Palette, including Iced Brown and Celestial Earth. I also love the shimmery browns in UD Naked 3. Other favorites are BareMinerals Nude Beach and Queen Tiffany; Too Faced Gilded Ganache (heavenly for hazel-green eyes), Hot Fudge, Haute Chocolate, and Black Forest Truffle; Hard Candy Fierce Effects Duo in Slow and Steady; ColourPop On the Rocks and Partridge. Tarte has some beautiful shimmery browns as well (they get lots of practice making browns 😉 ).
I have 4 out of the 5 e/s you mentioned, so I obviously have a problem! I don’t have that Burberry shadow, but it may find itself in my home before the end of the year….. I also recommend Mac’s Havana, UD Snakebite, Loreal Infallible e/s in Bottomless Java and Nars Galapagos which is a chocolate brown with gold shimmer. It’s shimmery in pan, but very subtle on the lid. A long time fave.
One can never have too many shimmery browns 😉
The MUFE shadows look gorgeous! Need them in my life.
The Artist formula is great!
The Burberry shade is so pretty! I’ve been unsuccessful in locating a local place that carries Burberry cosmetics. Besides this eyeshadow, do you have other recommendations or can you point me in the direction of a good overview of the line?
