Well, I’ve met the Plums, and I’m a fan
For anyone not familiar with Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals “Wearable Eye Kits” they are awesome. I’m not sure how they do it, but they manage to take a specific range of colors and adapt them so they look good on hazel, brown, blue, etc. – doesn’t matter what your eye color is. It will enhance and look beautiful no matter your skin tone or eye color.
There is “Meet the Browns” “Meet the Nuts” – both are various shades of brown. The blue eyeshadow trio is rightly named “Meet the Blues” and there is even a hard edgy trio called “Meet the Stones”.
The one I have, that I was most intrigued by, is the “Meet the Plums” collection. This collection came with a light plum, medium plum, and dark plum color. Tossing the instructions aside, I delved into my new shadow. One bruised looking eye later….I got the instructions back out, removed my eye makeup and put it on the correct way.
I was very pleased with the result, depending on which of the trio I want to wear – one or two at a time, or all three smudged together for a smokey plum effect, they all DO seem to work with my eye color (very dark brown) and skin tone (casper the ghost). The best thing I liked about this product is that it looks like it will last forever as a little bit truly goes a LONG way.
