bareMinerals | Prime Time Primer Shadow & Blush

On to the second part of the bareMinerals goodies I got at Christmas. Better late than never eh, and I've had a good chance to use them all properly now.

Prime Time Primer Shadow (Cameo Pink):

These primer shadows provide rich, light-reflective metalic colour in a lightweight texture. They can be worn alone or as a base colour. Cameo Pink is described as an intense pop of pink coral. Maybe I'm wrong here but I dont think 'coral' when I see this shade.

With Flash

Natural Light

I dont wear this too often but when I do, I wear it as it is for a wash of colour over the lid. Its quick, easy (I just use my fingers to apply) and lasts the whole day! These set very quickly, You only have a few seconds to play around before they're budge-proof but for me thats a good thing. Prime Time Primer Shadows definately live up to everything they claim, I havent been let down but there is one thing that annoys me - The tubes are absolutely tiny, 3ml to be exact. I could get over the tiny size, they'd be great for traveling with and wont take up much space in your make up bag but they cost £16 each!

Tickled Blush:
Tickled is a watermelon pink shade, in the pot it looks really vibrant but I find the colour to be very sheer when applied to the cheeks. Certain skin tones might need to be a bit heavy handed with it to achieve the desired effect. The colour lasts well throughout the day, barely fading if at all.

Heavily Swatched
As you can see, darker skin tones would have trouble making 'Tickled' work for them. A blush from bareMinerals will set you back £19 but unlike Prime Time Primer Shadow you get get a good amount of product.

Have any of you tried other shades in the blush? Are they all quite sheer?
