5th Ave

5th Ave is a light-medium, yellow gold with warm undertones and a metallic finish. It had great pigmentation with a very smooth, velvety texture that was soft enough that it was also dusty to the touch and kicked up the product in the pan easily. That softness did translate into good blendability, and it seemed to soften on the lid and looked a little "lived in" where the shimmer has a more luminous, glowing look to it. It wore well for eight hours before fading. Ardency Inn Sunday (DC, $21.00)(100% similar). Smashbox Champagne (PiP, ) is lighter (95% similar).
