bareMinerals Afternoon Delights Eyeliner Set
bareMinerals Afternoon Delights Eyeliner Set ($29.00 for 0.06 oz.) includes five shades of the brand’s Lasting Line Long-Wearing Eye Liner. It’s a very disappointing formula, and I don’t recommend the formula, period, or this set, due to poor color payoff that is paired with a stiffer, drier formula. The wear is average, which is “good news” compared to all the other characteristics one tends to look for in a go-to eyeliner. I can’t believe they discontinued their Round the Clock formula for this, as these are some of the worst eyeliners I’ve tried in recent memory.
Immortal Emerald is a muted, forest green with a pearly finish. Sheer color payoff that’s not even buildable, due to the very stiff, dry texture. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
Eternal Bronze is a medium-dark, warm-toned brown with subtle gold sparkle over a satin finish. It was hard to apply, as the consistency was so dry, and the resulting color payoff was semi-opaque after many layers–at best. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
Timeless Taupe is a warm-toned, taupe brown with a pearly shimmer-sheen finish. This was the creamiest of the three pencils, though it was still stiff and dragged a lot on the lash line. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
Stay Golden is a brightened, yellow gold with a frosted finish. It was sheer, dry, and painful to use on the lash line due how stiff it was.
See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
Perpetual Plum is a muted, plummy-brown with gold shimmer over a satiny finish. It had semi-sheer color payoff in one stroke, but it wasn’t buildable as the consistency was just too dry. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Omg how could they in good faith sell this?! They are so sheer and patchy!
These were such a shock!
Yikes! That is bad 🙁
No redeeming value at all 🙁
As always, thanks so much for posting honest and informative reviews.
Of course! 🙂
WTF.. I think I have crayons that would work better
When they’re painful on the ARM, you know it’s going to be bad on the lash line.
Haha! That was my first thought! Crayons working better! 😀
Ouch. I’d be mad if I bought this. They swatch horrible.
I can’t imagine buying these and not returning 🙁
I love BareMinerals, so I hate when they put out bad products!!
Same!
Wow.. I’m not sure whether I’m laughing or crying! I hope you did NOT try to apply any of these TP your eye! Oh my gosh! Love some “F’s” though! Haha! ( Yes, MUFE thingy was an A! 🙂 you’re adorable!) 🙂
I wore them all on my lash line so I could test wear!
you’re a brave soul.. I was hoping you didn’t after seeing the swatches for both sets. Ugh!
Oh, my! Are you okay? Are your eyes still intact?
Since I am reading your comment, I think it is safe to say yes 🙂
I have tried their regular pencil liners and jumbo pencils. These are a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY! They look way too painful to work with! I am so sorry you had to test them out!
It’s kind of the stuff nightmares are made out of as far as eyeliners go!
Ouch!
When a set has a D- it’s BAD!
I wonder how a brand like BM can even produce liners as bad as these. The worst thing I can think of when it comes to makeuup is liners like these that drag at the delicate skin around the eyes.
You are brave to even try using them around the eye area.
I’m glad you didn’t have to buy the set at least 🙂
They were pretty painful to use – I had to really space out the testing, lol.
Gasp! These are horrid!
They were REALLY bad!
OMG these are so bad! This is worse than MAC Carbon-gate!
Haha!
LOL! Good one! 😉
Seriously, do they not swatch and test their own products at least a bit before putting them on the market? :O
I wish I knew – most eyeliners are easier to apply to the arm, as you can take way more pressure there than the eye, but these weren’t pleasant to even swatch!
Yikes!!! It’s a shame about the quality because the colour selection is really nice…
Agreed!
I’m wondering what kind of quality control Bare Minerals has, to send a product with quality as poor as this! They really need to step it up. Such a shock, especially since their Ready eyeshadows are some of my favorite.
I wish I knew how these made it through testing!
OUCH! Looks painful 🙁
They were 🙁
Your poor waterlines! I can’t even imagine.
Thanks for saving me a bunch of money, I’d planned to buy both sets!
Happy to help!
Yikes! How sad too, as some look like they could have been really pretty (Perpetual Plum & Stay Golden)
Perpetual Plum is a cool color – unusual!
I got my set yesterday :(. I found them to be dreadful, just as you describe. Unfortunately in the UK we can’t return either. Lol at the fact that I was offered these ahead of release, as a favoured customer! Love the Round the Clock liners, and hoping to find some more of those before they disappear completely.
I am SO sorry to hear it, Viv! I wish I could have posted a little earlier and saved you from the heartbreak. 🙁
How on earth did this get the greenlight? I can’t believe this set even made it to production
I wish I knew!
I really enjoy the round the clock liners. I cannot believe they replaced them with these….
Me too! Seriously, if you loved those, stay far away from these!
This is so, so sad for BareMinerals – I love these colours, but the swatches look horrible in terms of ease of use. Other beauty blogs I have read about them agree with you – they are terrible to use. Don’t they test these pencils before releasing them for sale?
They are hard to use on the arm, so I have no idea how they passed testing.
Ugh! These are some of the worst eyeliner swatches I’ve ever seen. No thank you. smh
They are rough!
*rubs hands together menacingly* Boy do I love myself a good F every now and again!
Ha!
so sad this is such a bad quality and coming from bare minerals? Even the swatches don’t look good at all. Thanks for your honest review (as always)
My pleasure! 🙂
WOW. These are atrocious. I can’t believe they sent these to you for review.
They were quite disappointing!
How is this entire collection so bad! Why would they even bother selling this.. I wonder how it made it to the store, plus with that price tag.
I wonder how it was tested!
Funnily enough, this annoys me even more than the other set – mostly because I feel like that emerald liner in particular could have been really awesome!
LOL!
An entire set of Fs? Oh, geez 🙁
Consistency, at least…
Oh MY that is BAD. And I had to laugh a bit at the review because it’s the worst one I think I have read, that you’ve given to a product and I was imagining you writing it. You are always manage to sound positive somehow but this one – nope. Reads: ‘These are just BAD!’ LMAO!!!!
When things have no hope, I try to get that across, lol! Sometimes products get Bs and Cs because of big claims or ultimately, they just can’t hack it without primer, but since I know that many do use primer on the regular, then I recognize it may still work well enough for some 🙂
I am really disappointed that they discontinued the Round the Clock liners for these. The Round the Clock liners were some of my favorites.
Me too 🙁
Someone, at bareMinerals gave the approbation to sell these products?! This is insane!
I wonder who tested!
It’s really, really hard to tell, based on how terribly it swatched, but Perpetual Plum reminds me a bit of the d/c UD eyeliner 1999.
In this day and age, how does a competitive makeup brand utterly fail at ALL their new line of eyeliner? They’re making the Kat Von D lipsticks look a little better, because some of those were okay!
I just can’t fathom who tried these and said, “Love ’em!!”
This is crazy. Compared to the quality of all these other brands out. You would think that a “makeup company” would test the product out before launching it. This just leads me to believe they just want to rob you for your money! Sorry you had to waste you money 🙁
Luckily these were press samples this time around! 🙂
Avon has better ones then these…LOL
I’ve actually heard good things about at least one Avon eyeliner!
