MOST WANTED volume 2

Bare escentuals released the second edition of the Most Wanted kit during the June show on QVC. This one has four colours that were not a set and do not necessarily go together. I think there are ways that you could wear them together but I wanted to do a look with each colour seperately. I like all of the colours except Amber, but that is because I am not really a fan of pinkish/reddish/browns.

All the colours have a really interesting silvery sheen that not many of the newer bare escentuals colours have. You can really see the sheen in the swatch I did of Pacific. Moonstruck is beautiful and it seems to have a very very slight purple cast in some light--that's why I swatched ecstacy with it. You can't see the purple cast in the swatches. Hay is a beautiful buttery yellow. I think it is most similar to Banana Smoothie, but it defintly has a different texture. Many people have compared Pacific to Denim and I have heard that Denim replaced Pacific. I don't think denim and pacific are that similar. Denim is brighter and I like it better. Pacific is most similar to Ocean and ocean even has a similar sheen, just not to the same degree as Pacific. Amber is not exactly like anything I already have but it is similar to cocoa as others have mentioned.
I will put the comparison swatches before each look.

  3. You could do the Hay look with Banana smoothie or really any pale buttery yellow. I love yellow, green and blue together.
