Bare Escentuals High Shine Eyecolor, Part Deux

A few weeks ago, I swatched samples of the new Bare Escentuals High Shine Eyecolor on my gimpy wrist for you. Since then, I have gotten my hands on all of the tubed colors and had some time to play.


I know these are shiny. I know that may scare you. Don't let it. I love these things.

You know those perfect pictures of models where their eyes are illuminated perfectly (because they have a huge light in their face when the photo was taken)? These shadows are like having perfect model lighting follow you around. On your eyes, anyway.

I have gotten so many compliments from strangers about how bright/pretty/happy/sparkly/beautiful my eyes are when I wear these shadows. They couldn't be easier to apply. I use one of the BE primers first. Then I have been using two colors, one on the inside of my lid and one on the outer side of my lid. That's it. Plus mascara. No liner - it takes away from the immediate eye gleam/happy look. Although if you like a liner, I won't stand in your way.

My favorite combinations are Frost & Moonshine and Electric & Glisten. I recreated them for you in less than five minutes each. They are so easy to use and so, so pretty!

My one wish? That BE would make a gleaming, high shine BLACK. With little silver flecks. That would be dreamy. Please BE?

Have you tried these? What did you think?

I bought Patina. The others were sent for review. BE doesn't test on animals.
