Left to right: Golden Bronze, Deep Bronze, and Walnut
All three shadows are really soft and have excellent pigmentation.
ES26 Golden Bronze
Golden Bronze is actually more of a shimmery olive green than a golden bronze, but it's gorgeous nonetheless. I chose this color because I think green looks really pretty on brown eyes.
ES09 Deep Bronze
Deep Bronze is a shimmery, medium red-brown. I'm always looking for pretty, neutral shadows so it was no surprise when I was particularly drawn to this one.
ES17 Walnut
Walnut is a coppery brown that I picked up because it reminded me of MAC Vainglorious eyeshadow (which I did not pick up) that was released with the Venomous Villains collection. However, once I got home and swatched it again, I noticed its uncanny resemblance to another MAC eyeshadow already in my collection:
Dupe Alert!
MAC Antiqued and NYX Walnut
They look nearly identical in the pan but what about when they're swatched?
L to R: Golden Bronze, Deep Bronze, Walnut, MAC Antiqued
There appears to be more differences between Walnut and Antiqued in this photo than there really are. Besides the obvious fact that Antiqued is a shade darker than Walnut, the two are nearly identical in every other way. Oh, that and the fact that you can pick up 3 NYX Walnuts for the price of 1 MAC Antiqued and still have money left over :)

I love Nyx cosmetics they are such a great affordable brand
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw you tweet this, I assumed that you got the trio.. I have this in a trio (golden, rust and walnut bronze). But now I see that those are slightly different than these. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love NYX eyeshadows! Nice neutral colors!
ReplyDeleteThey are super pretty, I wish I could easily get hold of NYX cosmetics, there's so much that I want! xx
ReplyDelete@Lauren: Have you tried Cherry Culture? I know they ship to the UK.
ReplyDeleteOoh, gorgeous colours!! I absolutely love all of them, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI need to try their single eyeshadows. I have a palette but I would love to try bright shades, might as well start with a super affordable brand.
ReplyDeleteIs Walnut the same as Walnut Bronze? Because I have a shade in a trio called Walnut Bronze that looks similar :O
ReplyDeleteOooooooo I adore the green. x
ReplyDeleteGreat colors!!!!!!

@Andrea: I definitely think that's a good idea. If you don't use bright shades that often, it might not be worth it to spend $15+ on high-end eyeshadow singles.
ReplyDelete@SilhouetteScreams: I'm not sure since I don't have the trio but I don't think so because the single is just called Walnut :/
