Bare Minerals "The Top Shelf"
Ever since hearing Estée profess her love for this eyeshadow duo, I decided to finally check out Bare Minerals Ready eyeshadow duo in "The Top Shelf" in person at my local Ulta store. Immediately after swatching, I knew that it would be an easy go-to, everyday eye look for me. With one downside (which I will explain later). On to the pictures!
I absolutely love the pigmentation of these two shadows - they're almost metallic when they swatch! But they layer so very smoothly and I will say that my only gripe about this duo is that the darker color is so shimmery - theoretically a crease color like the darker shade should be matte, not metallic, since you want to avoid reflecting light and actually recess the appearance of your socket.
On the other hand, it does give you two very nice shimmery colors, and who says the darker one has to be in the crease? Sometimes I just wash it all over my lid and use the lighter color as a brow bone highlight.
I'm much more interested now in checking out the other Bare Minerals Ready eyeshadows after being so pleasantly surprised with this lovely "Top Shelf" number. Bonus points for all of the shadow duos being preceded with "The", just like my category titles on PSS!
