BareMinerals’ September

BareMinerals’ September

Posted on Sunday, at

Almost a medium-deep moss…or the color that moss gets the day after moss-killer treatment is put on it. (And living in the Pacific Northwest, I'm pretty well acquainted with how that looks. Stupid moss..!) I think that I have some similar colors in my inventory, but I'll have to...

BareMinerals’ July

BareMinerals’ July

Posted on Sunday, at

The other really rich color in this collection - a deep sapphire, almost medium lapis blue. Not a whole lot of sparkle comes through when this color is applied - a bit in keeping with the rest of this collection - but the color payoff is excellent.

Almost a vanilla-white rather than a pale yellow. The color payoff isn't as solid as I'd like it, but it's among the more opaque BE yellows. The sparkle is more apparent in the pot than on the skin, but the color does show sparkle both dry and wet. This is...

BareMinerals’ May

BareMinerals’ May

Posted on Sunday, at

May and July are the richest shades in this collection. Both colors have enough depth and pigmentation that either of them could be used as a liner or contour shade. I think this color might qualify as “royal purple”, though it shows more purple when applied dry and closer to...

Not much shimmer in this one either…but this is the shimmeriest color in the collection. It's a raincloud-slate blue-grey that will look amazing with grey-blue or brown eyes. It might look less striking paired with hazel eyes, but it will still accent the eyecolor very nicely. I don't know...

The shade is very pretty, but the color payoff is not that great. It isn't as bad as some BE greens (Faith, I'm looking at you!!) but it is semisheer. The gold and green shimmer that show up in the pot don't really appear when applied. This is a pale...

There's some depth to this color - it's more like a shadow on snow, almost periwinkle-ish. This color is a very soft matte finish, and it's actually got color payoff and decent adhesion (which isn't always the case with matte eyeshadows, from any company.) This is a cool blue. I...

MAC’s Morning Frost paint pot

MAC’s Morning Frost paint pot

Posted on Saturday, at

This is a very soft color - so soft I can't honestly tell if it's semisheer or not! It definitely works best as an accent color or possibly even a highlighting shade on paler skintones. If given the chance again, I don't know that I'd buy this…not because the...
