About bareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow 4.0 the Afterparty
BareMinerals READY? Eyeshadow provides exceptionally vivid, long-wearing complementary colors in an ultra-smooth, silky texture for effortless application and seamless blendability. Powered by bareMinerals’ proprietary SeaNutritive Mineral™ Complex along with powerful antioxidants, cold-pressed borage oil, caffeine and cucumber, these ingredients are known to deliver antiaging benefits including depuffing and antioxidant protection for a softer, smoother, revitalized eye area. It looks like a powder, but feels like a cream and delivers a beautifully vivid color.

Value
I feel like the bareMinerals quads are a great value because you’re getting 4 eyeshadows for the price of 3. bareMinerals does a great job of giving you a lot of bang for your buck and I appreciate that! This is a great staple quad to add to your makeup collection or to gift to someone who is new to makeup.

To me, this quad is a classic smoky eye set. You’ve got silver, black, and pearly white. Rowdy (the taupe) is a bit unusual but I think you could use it in the crease with Mingle (silver) on the lid and Lights down to line and slightly contour at the outer v. Rowdy seems to be unique in my collection, but I don’t have a lot of taupe mattes. You can see more of my taupes here. Mingle is a quintessential silver shade that everyone should have in their collection.

What do you think of the bareMinerals the Afterparty? How would you wear Rowdy?
