REVIEW:
I am going to be reviewing the eye colors in this kit.
I found this kit to be hard to wear when I first got it. The eye colors are very neutral and seemed to disappear into my skin. Currently, I am wearing Bare Escentuals Golden Tan matte and Faux Tan matte mix. I had to really find out what would make these colors stand out on my skintone. After some help from the lovely ladies on a forum that I frequent, I found the answer I was looking for. MAC Shadesticks. Shadesticks enhance the color of eyeshadows. They can be found in all different colors of the rainbow. The one I used in this look, Lucky Jade, has a slight green tone that enhanced the BE Magnetized. If you notice, I am wearing BE Kudos in the crease and you can barely see it. If I was to use another MAC shadestick, Shimmersand is the one that I like to enhance BE Kudos, you could see it much better.
The brushes in this kit are really wonderful. I especially love the Heavenly face brush. It is a wonderful flat-top brush. I think this kit is worth it for the brushes alone.
OVERALL OPINION:
If you do get the chance to buy these color I would say to go for it. I really like to use BE Kudos as a base color over top my shadesticks so that my shadows have something smooth to lay on and are more blendable. I also like to use both of these colors to add sparkle to any neutral look (BE Kudos) or any green look (BE Magnetize) as they are semi-sheer and have shimmer/sparkle.
This product was bought with my own money for my own personal usage. The review given is my personal opinion.
