BareMinerals’ Velvet Coconut

Almost as deep a base color as Magnifique, but it gets thwarted somewhat by the “velvet” finish that adds its own layer of whitewash-residue atop the brown.

(If you're thinking that I should not have bought this kit, you'd be right. I now know for absolute certain that BareMinerals' Velvet eyecolors are Things Without Which I Can Live Quite Happily.)

Photos that show how the product actually performs...! See how I create my swatches

A montage of three images: top left, close-up of the eyeshadow in the pot; top right, the eyeshadow mixed with water and applied to bare skin; bottom left, the eyeshadow applied dry over primer.

While this can be used as an eyeliner or crease color, keep in mind that wet application will give you a more prominent “velvet” layer to counteract the base color. Stick to dry-brush application, over a damp base if you wish, and you'll be fine.
