Style Chicks

I’m always attracted to green eyeshadows, which theorically should make my olive-hazel eyes pop. But I’ve rarely had success - I usually look tired with green hues. After seeing this Bare Escentuals Ponder Four Piece Collection, I think I’ve found the problem with every other green shade I’ve tried - they are too warm for my skin tone, even if it’s a pastel or mint green. So I’m excited to try this adorable three shade with an applicator and a cute springy bag.

Described as the “coolest” shades of green, these shades are more platinum/silver based than most green shades I’ve tried. What impresses me is that there is still extrodinary depth to the colors - which is typical of Bare Escentuals shadows. In fact, the one green that consistently works on me is from Bare Escentuals - “Green Tea”, a deep forest green shade. (Side note: Bare Escentuals Green Tea shadow is amazing for creating a dramatic 1920’s flapper girl eye if you use it as both a liner and a shadow.)

The Ponder Four Piece Collection consists of the fresh and pretty zippered bag, a double ended lining and shaping brush, Envy (a pale lime shimmer), Pond (a matte blue green) and Live (a shimmering moss green). Great for creating a fresh spring eye!
