Alien is described as a "pink-peach with golden shift." It's a light-medium, yellow-toned pink with a soft, golden shimmer. It had good pigmentation, but the more powdery texture made it harder to apply. It really wasn't worth using over bare skin--it needs a primer or else it looks uneven and faded no matter how much you pack on. I think at some point, while trying to use it over bare skin, I had more eyeshadow underneath my eye than on the eyelid. It wasn't great over primer, but it was better. Over bare skin, it lasted six and a half hours before creasing. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
