Brown Sugar vs Sierra

Post by Die Marchen » Wed Sep 15, 2010 10:01 am

I haven't seen swatches with them together and comparing different they seem quite similar... I don't want to have both, I do not wear brownies often.
Hope you help with the descriptions and a piece of advice))

Here are a couple of quick shots of some SN browns, the first in bright daylight, the second indoors in daylight but with flash.

The difference between Sienna and Brown Sugar is that Brown Sugar is very, very slightly more coppery and has a more complex texture. My camera does not pick up the subtleties of texture and finish. The colours are very alike. All swatches are dry and unprepared, no primers etc. I haven't adjusted the colour balance on the photos, they're pretty accurate.
