Blazing Gold #5

Blazing Gold #5 is an intense, deep taupe with warm, brown undertones and a cooler, grayer overtone. It was nicely pigmented, and it had a very dense, cream-like texture (I would have swore it was like a gel eyeliner). The color wore well for eight hours, but it was a little harder to blend due to how dense/thick it was on the skin. Bobbi Brown Serpentine (LE, $38.00) is lighter (90% similar). Dose of Colors Out and About (PiP, ) is less shimmery, lighter (85% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty Eleganza (LE, ) is less shimmery, lighter, cooler (85% similar). NARS L'Amour, Toujours L'Amour #12 (DC, $25.00) is cooler (85% similar). Charlotte Tilbury The Huntress (LE, ) is lighter, warmer (80% similar). Sydney Grace Frosted Morning (P, $6.25) is lighter, warmer (80% similar). Lancome Volcano (P, $19.00) is less shimmery, lighter, more muted (80% similar).
