Kim

Kim is a medium brown with warm, orange undertones and lighter, golden shimmer. The pigmentation was great, while the texture had a very silky, finely-milled feel to it that was a touch dusty and prone to kicking up an excessive amount of product in the pan. On the upside, the eyeshadow was easy to blend and apply to the skin, and while dustiness often translates into sheer or patchy color, this shade applied with good, even coverage. The color started to fade after eight hours of wear. Clinique Ample Amber (P, $17.00) is less shimmery (95% similar). MAC Sable Riche (LE, $17.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar).
