Isn't Gilded Ash amazing! I want to get a few more too, basically the ones you just named. If I can only get the glitters from Chill and nothing from DE then I can afford it.

I have but I bought it at my local CCO for cheap. Its a lovely color.
I lined it right above my dark black kohl liner on the top lid to give it some oomph!

I got my Cocomotion pigment today and it's filled all the way to the rim. The color is so pretty!!!! I'm going to wear this color on Christmas Day!

Gilded Ash + Stila's kitten in the inner eye, blended over Gilded Ash plus carbon in the crease is pure hot grey smokey eye. Guess what I'm wearing today?

I just wonder if I'll regret not getting a backup of this Gilded Ash.....though I guess tbh itll take a while to get through the one I've got!

Gilded ash is freaking gorgeous! I am hoping that I can find another one in the clearance bin someday.

I'm so glad you got this and love it!

Gilded Ash with Gold Mode has become my absolute favourite neutral eye.

Cocomotion and Museum Bronze aren't identical. But close. Cocomotion has more gold to it, while Museum Bronze has more bronze-brown tone in it. I think both are gorgeous

Cocomotion is very very pretty.

I think you should get it. Hehe. One could never have enough pigments.

Indoor lighting - no flash

Indoor (by the window) - no flash

They are close, and actually, on my skin they were identical. I had to return Museum Bronze, although it has the better texture IMO.

I think that people often forget to take skin tone into account when looking at dupes. On darker skin, things can be perfect dupes, and then on my skin I'll see every nuance of difference in the shades. So, I think the conclusion here would be that if you're darker in skintone, the two are dupes, but there is some difference if you're on the pastier side.

i agree totally! another thing, when people ask for a dupe or recommendation for a lip color and mention their skin tone, like "how will ___ look on nw30 skin?". how a lipstick looks on you has to do with more than just your skintone. you also have to take into consideration lip pigmentation. someone could be the same skin tone as me, but i have very little coloring in my lips, so a lip color isn't gonna look the same on them if they've got naturally redder lips, ya know?

sorry, that's just a major pet peeve of mine.

Thanks!

I've been trying to fight this one for quite a while & since I decided to pass on Dame Edna I figured I had the extra money for this instead. I wear a lot of browns so I'm sure I will love it & get a lot of use out of it. Truthfully, I'm so surprised I tried to resist for so long!

Awesome - I hope you love it as much as all of us (especially gigglegirl)!

I wore mine Christmas day. Actually, I grab for that color all the time now.

Though the display may be gone, they should still be hiding out somewhere, such as in a beaker or something. Just ask an MA!
