Bare Minerals branched out a while ago into pressed eyeshadows and blushes, and I recently bought my first pressed duo, The Cliff Hanger. Suspense is a greyed beige/stone matte, and Awe is a slightly purpled medium/dark grey taupe, with a satin/shimmer texture. Some of the duos remind me very much of Nars eyeshadow duos; The Vision looks a lot like Nars Habenera to me.
Swatched on white paper:
The shadows are soft and silky, as claimed. Although they feel very comfortable on my lid, unfortunately this particular colour combination makes me look tired; Awe looks a little too much like a natural dark shadow for comfort and I can only wear it very close to my lashline. Applied over my whole lid, it gives me a bruised look. I'm never very comfortable in a smokier eye though.
These are £19 for 3g.

I've been wanting to try Bare Minerals make up product for the longest time but I just don't know why, I always skip this when I planned to buy this.
ReplyDeleteI was amazed at the silkiness and pigmentation of these, better than Dior or Guerlain imho.
ReplyDeleteOoh I might have to try this duo - on my dark skin these kinds of taupe are much lighter and purpler, and the two shades together look so useful as a travelling palette. Sorry it doesn't work so well for you though :/
ReplyDeleteWell, at least there was a blog post in it! Many congratulations, by the way. x
DeleteThis would be the perfect neutral eye, and it looks travel friendly too.
ReplyDeleteSo happy GreenWitch was included here, yay! I'm sure Tethys is thrilled with the inclusion as well.
