Try a Little Warm Cocoa for Fall

Bobbi Brown Black Cocoa Metallic Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a rich, chocolate brown with flecks of pale gold, gold, and copper shimmer. It has such a smooth texture with incredible color pay off that really just looks luxurious when worn. This shade would work well for a brown smoky eye as well as smudged on the lower lash line to add warmth to the eyes. I love this on warmer beauties, though it has that blackened cocoa laced with the warmer brown, so it could also be worn by those on the cooler side, too.

I also love that $20 will get you 0.10 oz. of eyeshadow–double the amount of most single shadows! This particular shade launched with Bobbi Brown’s Black Velvet Collection, but it is permanent to the line.

I adore this color! I have NARS Mekong, but it doesn’t get used all the time because it is so dramatic. I could use this Bobbi Brown one more regularly. Thanks for the swatches and post FAQ. Very helpful!

I think I need to revisit these. When I had gone to the BB counter and tried them out the only way I could get the color to show was on top of her kohl liners and I didn’t feel like covering my lid in eyeliner just to get some color. lol

Were you swatching from a tester? I’ve started taking a tissue or cotton round, whatever they have on hand and wiping off the top layer of shadow where I want to swatch since sometimes it’s gotten hard or it’s got alcohol on it from being sanitized after a makeover, etc.

What a fantastic brown! But I’ve also been looking for a good beige, but everything I swatch seems to show up bronze or a dusty maroon. Dior’s old Beige Sunshine seemed to be the best beige I’d seen. Christine, would you please help me find a close dupe in MAC?

Hi Christine,

I know this isn’t entirely relevant, but I was wondering if you could help me out! My Mother is looking for some really good quality dark brown/brown/dark chocolate eye shadows to try, and I was wondering if you could give me examples of the best ones you’ve come across in your experience to give us an idea! She’d prefer something that’s not too glittery/sparkly/frosted. I’d really appreciate the help – I missed the last Ask Temptalia so I couldn’t ask you then. >_<
