I actually haven't tried BE eye shadows. I did try a liner from them once & it was super messy & I just didn't like it. I used to use Elizabeth Arden eye shadows & I do love them, but wanted more variety of colors, which MAC definitely has. For Elizabeth Arden I liked the quality of it, it only took a little shadow to get the look I wanted (with some brands I have to use a lot) & it blended soooo nice. Same thing with MAC really, but especially the vividness of the colors with MAC, that's what I really like, that & the wide variety of colors available. My absolute fave from MAC is the fluidline liners. I think eyeliner is my absolute favorite makeup item, you can really change your look just based on your eyeliner. These are just amazing, go on so nice & have real staying power. I do wish they had a little more color choices to choose from, but am hoping over time they will.

From BE all I'm using so far is the foundation, mineral veil, & a concealer (summer bisque), but I really like them a lot. I have super oily skin & these really control my oil, way more than any product I have ever tried. And I very rarely even have to touch up my BE. Oh yeah, I've been using the warmth as my blush & that doesn't have much staying power for some reason, I may go back to a regular blush, I have one from Elizabeth Arden & one from Clinique that I like a lot.

I also struggle with adult acne & with BE I am breaking out less. And I just started putting the special healing powder from mariobadescu into my BE, so I'll see if that helps out even more.

I've been wanting to get the bare radience & the smokey eye tutorial from BE though....have you tried either of these, what do you think of them if you have?

[ANZ]

OH man they haven't made much I haven't tried!!!!LOL!!!
I hahe tried 4 diff. blushes,Im pretty fair so I like beauty(pink),morning(peach),flowers(brighter pink 4 summer)dusk(too close to warmth) I use warmth then a blush on the apple of my cheek 4 some color they last 4 me.I have 3 of the radiances...rose R, bare R,& pure R, My fave is the pure,the bare is good to highlight cheeks & as a shad.hi-li, The pure has a light goldeny tan shade 2 it, can mix a little w/found.for a glow.They do have a shimmer too them but not too much! Let mw know!!
Forgot about the smok e. I have seen not tried,they have meet the stones great 4 a S.E. 3 shades dark 2 lighter dark 4 liner,just wet brush 4 1st close to the lash line you donnt have 2 but i do Enjoy!!

I totally want to get pure radience!!!! How do you like it?

[ANZ]

I love the pure rad.I guess its my fave ,I put more in my last reply couldnt get it to post after i edited it;prob. my boo boo
Anyway!!! lol, I LOVE the pure R. the best it has a goldeny,tanish,color to it . but im fair skinned and not too dark,It gies a healthy glow,use it as a highlite on cheek bones,as a natural look eyeshadow(very sheer),OR you can put it all over under foun. ORRRRR even mix in w/found. I really play around W/ makeup (bet you couldnt tell aye )
I made a mistake last ent, I dont have bare rad. I meant clear R. I like that too .Hope all this rambling helps!!!
