BareMinerals’ Free to Be Naturally Elegant kit

When these kits originally came out, I wasn’t too interested in this one. Attractive enough colors, but…I already owned the purple and the white, and didn’t want to get the kit for another brown-ish, and for a blush that, in all honesty, didn’t sound like it would look super-fantastic with my coloring. I acquired the missing color-pieces later on. The combination is very attractive, and Legit is a neutral-enough purple that it should be very wearable on most skintones. Same with Moonlit - a neutral through and through. Splendor may be the only shade that gives some folks pause, though. If you have stronger golden undertones, that one eyeshadow may not look as good on you. If you have very warm coloring, I’d suggest swapping Splendor out for your favorite slightly-warmer medium brown.

Fame was part of the BE regular line for a brief while, but has since disappeared from the webstore. The other two colors have never, as far as I know, been available for individual purchase - though Moonlit has shown up in one or two other kits in the past five years.

This kit contained:

  • Fame — dark violet shimmer
  • Moonlit — cool white pearl
  • Splendor — medium mauved-brown satin
  • Premiere blush —
  • 100% Natural Lipgloss in Rose
  • pewter clutch
