Loose powder eye shadow! I had long avoided this stuff, always favouring pressed shadows because I’m kind of neurotic when it comes to wastage and mess. However, a friend recently gave me a few Bare Minerals shadows to try and I’m hooked! They go on so smoothly and blend so nicely that I can’t help myself.  I also recently purchased a few Effect Powders from GOSH, which is a European brand that recently launched here in North America, and I really like them too. I have to say they don’t make as big of a mess as I thought they would. I have a method where I lightly dip my brush in the product and then gently dab it on the underside of the lid (oh yeah, the other thing I love about loose powder shadows is that they usually come in cute little jars with screw top lids) to remove excess. Then, I just work with the bit that’s left in the lid until I need more. I always get the right amount of shadow with no waste and no mess. Frankly, I feel a bit silly for avoiding loose powder for so long….and I’m making up for lost time too; the Bare Minerals 9 Alluring Eye Colors set is on its way from Sephora as I type!
