Review of bareMinerals 5 in 1 BB Advanced Performance Cream Eyeshadow

 Usually when I talk about eye primers they are clear or provide a sheer wash of color to the lid. The bareMinerals 5 in 1 BB Advanced Performance Cream Eyeshadow acts as a primer but provides more coverage. This product claims to do five things: 1) prime, 2) provide 12-hour color, 3) brighten the appearance of your eyelids, 4) smooth lines and wrinkles and 5) protect with SPF 15. The SPF is important. We normally pay attention to putting sunscreen on our face, but not our eyelids (or lips). 
This eyeshadow is available in 10 shades—all on the neutral side—from nudes, to pinks, to browns to moss. It costs $18 for 0.10 oz. of product (compared to $12 for 0.16 oz. of Urban Decay’s Primer Potion and $5 for 0.34 oz. of Wet ‘n Wild’s Fergie eyeshadow primer), definitely on the pricier side.



I received a sample from Sephora, I believe, and the color is Barely Nude, a soft creamy nude. This nude color acts as a great base to even out any discoloration on your lids and provide a neutral base for your shadow. You can also wear it alone for a natural look and the color is buildable if you apply more than one layer. It comes with a doe foot applicator. I use the applicator to put some product on my lids and then blend with my fingertip. It is blendable, but dries quickly. It plays well with other shadows and helps keep them in place all day. I definitely like this as a base and shadow on its own. This is something I would consider picking up in the future even though it is a bit pricy. The added color and SPF set it apart from other primers and a little does go a long way so it would last awhile.
