D62 Diamond Brown

Make Up For Ever D62 Diamond Brown Blue Aqua XL Eye Pencil ($21.00 for 0.04 oz.) is dark, chocolaty brown with gold micro-sparkle over a mostly matte finish. It had semi-sheer color payoff in one stroke, which didn't build up beyond semi-opaque--it was always translucent, and that is not something I've experienced too often with darker eyeliners like this one. The texture didn't drag or pull on the lash line, but it just wouldn't deposit color that well. I didn't test this on the waterline due to the larger-sized sparkle. It lasted for eight hours on my lower lash line. Burberry Midnight Brown (P, $27.00) is warmer (95% similar). MAC Lord It Up (P, $15.00) is darker (95% similar).
