Nude Beach

bareMinerals The Nude Beach Eyeshadow Palette ($40.00 for 0.24 oz.) contains eight shades that were inspired by shades in bareMinerals' loose eyeshadow range, and with the name, you can see that it's a neutral-based palette. The quality is good overall, but the palette contains a lot of mid-tone eyeshadows, and I found myself really longing for one or two medium-dark to dark, satin-to-matte shades that would work to add more depth to any look. It is also a warm-toned palette, which there are many of on the market nowadays, so while lovely in many ways, it is ultimately a more dupable palette. I love the size of this style of palette that bareMinerals does, because each eyeshadow still has plenty of product (0.03 oz.), but they're very compact and perfect for traveling. bareMinerals' Ready eyeshadow formula is supposed to wear for 12 hours, yield "vivid, pure, provocative color," and "resist creasing, fading, and smudging."
