I love this product; the color, the way it smooths on, the fact it can be wet or dry. I just love it!
I ordered this product because I have the essentials eye kit which included the powder liner in “fashionista” shade and fell in love with
the way it went on effortlessly and stayed on without smudging or flaking.
I was very disappointed to find out that the shade i love wasn’t listed,
and ordered “patio party” because it was as close to the shade as I could
tell. The color is nice, but it is too powdery, flaky, and clumped on the
brush, even when wet. Most of it ended up below on my cheeks below, causing me to have to wipe it off and re-touch my makeup.
I have used bare essentuals for years and this is the first time I have
been disappointed. Is there a way you can sell the “fashionista” shade
individually, and not have to buy the whole kit ??
I really like the Bare Minerals collection. Specifically with the eye-liner, you do need a good brush. The shadow doesn’t smear throughout the day. Believe me, I am currently deployed in 130 degree weather, humidity, and it still looks perfect as when I put it on. Another reason might be the eyeshadow primer that I use, but I highly recommend this product. Looks great when using it smoky, or add the eyeliner primer, (or just water which I normally do) for a more defined line.
I love this liner. It is amazing. I have always had a problem with liner staying and this stays all day. At first I was a little apprehensive because of the mixed reviews about little flecks of the powder traveling. I havent had a problem with it all. I love love love the BE line.
I give it 3 stars – the problem is that no matter how much you “tap” the excess off, as soon as you touch your liner brush to the eye little specs of the powder fall on your cheeks. You go to wipe it off and no matter how gently you do it (q-tip, cotton ball, etc) it always leaves a dark smear. And you JUST finished doing your makeup. On the upside, because it’s a powder liner it isn’t harsh or goopy like a liquid liner, yet the color is very pigmented and makes a statement. I was surprised at how much color a powder liner could pack! (But note: this contributes to the problem of wiping off fallen specs of color.) Also, I find that halfway through the night I look in the mirror and there is an obvious and embarrassing streak near at least one, if not both, of my eyes (the powder obviously falls as you blink throughout the day/night). I do NOT overdo it either, my skin is light and I use very little makeup. Bottom line: I love using this product when I wet it (“foil technique”) before application, but I seriously don’t believe that anyone can use this product dry. It’s impossible. Still, 3 stars because it looks awesome while wet. I also think the company really needs to find a better way to package the liners b/c it always gets all over the counter when handling it.
