Trying to decide between Propinquity and Mojave...

Or are they different enough to need both? I have hazel eyes and light neutral to olive coloring.

They're different. :)

Trouble is a nice in between if you can't decide.

I own both, and enjoy them both. They are quite distinct.
Mojave is warmer, less complex, and has more of an iridescent finish. There is only a hint of purple to it.
Propinquity is decidedly mauve. Not much darker, but certainly richer, with more of a suede finish and a lovely subtle golden glow. I have fair skin with cool yellow and peach undertones (sounds contradictory I realize ;) ) My eyes and hair are copper colored. I can use Propinquity as a crease color when I want depth without darkness.
And to help you narrow it down, Model is the inverse of Propinquity: rich warm golden glow, subtle pink-plum underplay.
:D
