Antiqued e/s is a good neutral color.

Thank yall. I swatched woodwinked and it is too bright for me weird as that may sound.
I have mulch and I am thinking of returning it because it is too sparkly...I believe it is a velvet.

There aren't that many brown Veluxe Pearls, unfortunately. Does it have to be a VP?

You're kind of limited to Woodwinked or Antiqued if that's the case.

It does not need to be VP, as long as it does not sparkle too much. I don't like Matte either So I need something that does not have too much sparkle, but is not Matte. Maybe I should try Satin textures.

Antiqued gets my vote. Try this with embark in the crease...

Have you tried Glamour Check!? The starflash texture is a dream to work with!

Ah LOL... this is tricky. My favourite dark (contour) browns are all mattes for the most part..

Hmmm...

Have you tried Cork? (It sort of depends on what your skintone is.) I'm NC43/45 and I find Cork is a great "bridge" colour to blend my lid into my highlight.

Complicated right?
I am NW47/50.
I think I will make a list and head over to MAC and play with the ones suggested her.

LOL... Cork will likely be too light for you. It's near to my skintone and I'm a tad lighter than you are. (But it does blend like a dream IMO).

Maybe Brown Down? (I don't own this). It's a reddish brown...and a veluxe. Sounds like it might work with Embark.

Re: Whats a good Brown Veluxe Pearl e/s?

Anyone using mulch as a highlight? I am contemplating keeping it and using it for that purpose instead of returning it, but then again how often do I highlight
Anyway, what do you ladies think about that?

Re: Whats a good Brown Veluxe Pearl e/s?

So I went and swatched every brown e/s MAC had....yes, every single one
but I did not find the right one. Mulch was a nice color but too much sparkle. Anyway, off to sephora I went. I swatched like a million browns and it came down to a sephora e/s called Coffee Brown. Now I am thinking of returning it because it looks too dark.....I know, I know, I am sounding a bit , I just need to find the right thing.
Back to the drawing board I go

Re: Whats a good Brown Veluxe Pearl e/s?

I really like the brown in Coc's Tempting quad, if you can get your hands on Dark Edge (satin) that would be an awesome addition to your collection! Tempting is in that quad too (its also perm) and its my go to color for a neutral smokey eye or for blending out darker browns..giv'er a go:P
I really love Antiqued but I find it a tad too red to be called a brown.
My fav brown is Handwritten which is a Matte2 and blends like a drrrreeam!
Also, I think NYX makes some great e/s might as well look there too! HTH!
