My Experience:

I was given bareMinerals READY™ Eyeshadow Showstopper 2.0 for an honest review.

bareMinerals READY™ Eyeshadow Showstopper 2.0 comes in a square compact with a wide mirror and small applicator.

The colors are beautiful and great for day wear as well as night wear. The colors are soft and easy to apply; the applicator is really small which may be a nuisance to use for some. The colors went on very smoothly and are highly pigmented. There was no need to use more than a small amount, unless you are looking for theatrics of course.

The color did not crease and lasted all day; no reapplication was necessary. These two colors complement one another and are very vibrant.

What more can I say? bareMinerals READY™ Eyeshadow Showstopper 2.0 is a great buy!

How to use:
bareMinerals Doe EyedGET THE DOE-EYED LOOK
THE TECHNIQUE: Color is concentrated in the full crease and center of lash lines to create a rounded shape.
THE EFFECT: Bigger, rounder, wide-open eyes that pop.
THE APPLICATION: Apply eyeshadow evenly over eyelids and along the full crease line. Intensify color with a fuller application at the center of upper and lower lash lines. Brush mascara through lashes, adding extra layers to the center of upper and lower lashes.
THE BUZZ: Alluring, chic, flattering
THE INSIDE SCOOP: The Doe-Eyed technique is so versatile. Apply softly with neutral shades for a natural daytime look, or intensify with deeper shades and heavier application for night.

STEP 1: Dust MUSE EYESHADOW over eyelids from lash line to brow bone with the round end of the DOUBLE-ENDED PRECISION EYE BRUSH.
STEP 2: Sweep PASSION EYESHADOW into the full crease line with the pointed end of the DOUBLE-ENDED PRECISION EYE BRUSH.
STEP 3: Line upper and lower lash lines with PASSION EYESHADOW using the pointed end of the DOUBLE-ENDED PRECISION EYE BRUSH. Concentrate color more intensely at the center of upper and lower lash lines to make eyes appear rounder.

GET THE EXTENDED CREASE
bareMinerals Extended CreaseTHE TECHNIQUE: Color is blended out past the original crease line towards the hairline to create an elongated shape.
THE EFFECT: Contoured, elongated, almond-shaped eyes with drama.
THE APPLICATION: Apply eyeshadow along crease and pull color past the original crease line. Blend color up and back at an angle towards the hairline.
THE BUZZ: Fashion-forward, dramatic, modern ’70s glam
THE INSIDE SCOOP: Extended Crease looks incredible with neutrals or with bright colors. Soften the look by blending color only slightly past the crease line; dial up the intensity by pulling color farther out towards the temples.

STEP 1: Blend STANDING O EYESHADOW over eyelids up to the brow bone with a SOFT TAPERED EYESHADOW BRUSH.
STEP 2: Apply CLIMAX EYESHADOW into outer crease line with the tip of a SOFT TAPERED EYESHADOW BRUSH, extending color outwards towards the hairline. Blend well. Layer for added intensity.
STEP 3: Line upper lash line and outer lower lash line with CLIMAX EYESHADOW using a firm ANGLED EYELINER BRUSH. Blend outwards to diffuse color.

GET THE COLOR BLOCKING LOOK
bareMinerals Color BlockingTHE TECHNIQUE: Color is placed adjacent to a contrasting color and is not blended; this creates isolated blocks of color that make an impact.
THE EFFECT: Attention-getting pops of color.
THE APPLICATION: Color Blocking can be achieved in several ways. Press eyeshadow onto inner half of upper lid, then press contrasting shade onto outer half of upper lid. Do not blend; allow each shade to stand on its own. For a different look, press eyeshadow over entire eyelid, then apply a contrasting shade along lower lash line.
THE BUZZ: Playful, creative, on-trend
THE INSIDE SCOOP: Color Blocking works best with high-contrast shades or bright pops of color. Experiment, mix and match with color placement and shades…the options are endless.

STEP 1: Press ILLUSION EYESHADOW onto inner half of eyelids with the round end of the DOUBLE-ENDED PRECISION EYE BRUSH, blending color up to the inner crease.
STEP 2: Press MIRAGE EYESHADOW onto outer half of eyelids with the round end of the DOUBLE-ENDED PRECISION EYE BRUSH, blending color up to the outer crease.
STEP 3: Line outer half of lower lash line with MIRAGE EYESHADOW using the pointed end of the DOUBLE-ENDED PRECISION EYE BRUSH.

    Sounds like a really great eyeshadow. This is one brand that I have tried very little from. I tend to think of this brand as more of a foundation to go, but the shadows do sound amazing. Love your step by step instructions on how to get the look and it does look gorgeous on you!

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
