THIS MAY BE THE TOP EYESHADOW (BEIGE) IN ALLURE’S BEST OF BEAUTY 2011, BUT IT'S NOT VERY HEALTHY!
Check out this review of Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow: http://bit.ly/un9lnO
This product gets a hazard rating of 6 out of 10!
Did you know that there is strong evidence that FD&C YELLOW 5 ALUMINUM LAKE and FD&C BLUE 1 ALUMINUM LAKE can cause Developmental/reproductive toxicity, Neurotoxicity, and Organ system toxicity?
The perfect “subtle shimmer” eyeshadows out there!
As a teenager, my mother was VERY strict on what makeup I could and couldn't wear. She insisted that I not wear overly frosty....anything. Thus, I was on the hunt for a wearable eyeshadow that was still enhanced my youthful eyes.
And then came Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Wash eyeshadow. I bought these first when they were in the rounded screw top packaging, but the current repackaging has the same formula. They have a silky texture and the shimmer is DIVINE. These are perfect for an office look as washes, crease shades, and even liners! At $20 a pop, these are not cheap, but they are a great investment into your every day makeup wardrobe. The Shimmer Wash texture is unique to Bobbi Brown, luscious, and long wearing!
I love this formula because it's appropriate for all age levels. This is great for:
-Younger girls just getting into makeup! This is an appropriate starter shadow before trying frostier textures. -The working diva! The perfect texture for a more formal office setting. -The mature woman! Frostier or glittery eyeshadow tends to not perform well on more mature, wrinkled eyes. The Shimmer Wash textures sits well on older women and still gives them a flattering finish on the eyes.
Beige Shimmer Wash is one of those great shades in your makeup wardrobe. It's got the right balance of tan and beige create a neutral base that's great for light/medium- dark skintones (for fair complexions, I recommend getting Bone Shimmer Wash). For a simple look, I use Beige Shimmer Wash all over the lids (with Bone Shimmer Wash as a highlight since I'm fair), apply Bobbi Brown Taupe shadow lightly on the crease, and line my upper lash line with Bobbi Brown Caviar Ink Gel Liner. Apply some mascara, peachy pink blush and clear lipgloss, and you're out the door in less than ten minutes!
