New Mineral Eye Colors from Mary Kay!

Hey everyone!  How's everyone's week going so far?  Pretty good over on my end.  I just got home from an awesome Jazzercise workout to my hubby cooking us up some tacos!  So I figured I'd better take advantage of this free time to tell ya'll about the 4 new mineral eye shades from Mary Kay!  I was so excited when I saw these!  


The shades are Glistening Gold, Shimmering Lilac, Brilliant Black & Sparkling White.  So pretty in the pan.  But when I swatched them, I wasn't all that impressed.  They came out very chunky glittery like.  And very sheer.  


I had to really lay the color on there for it to show up.  So I tried it again.  This time with primer.  A little better.  Only one swipe with primer.


The true test was to put them to use.  And I must say, I really liked the results.



Again, they are very sheer.  But I think they are definitely workable colors.  The Sparkling White is perfect for highlighting the inner corner or the brow bone.  The Glistening Gold would add a nice sparkle with a little pop of it on the lid over any color.  The Shimmering Lilac would add beautiful sparkle over the top of another purple shade.  The Brillant Black can be used as your liner as I did or on top of liner to set it.  But I think it would make a perfect shade for any smokey look.  It comes out as a smokey grey.  I think it's my favorite of the bunch.  

So that's my thoughts on Mary Kay's new Mineral Eye Colors.  Check out my video below to see how I applied all 4 of these shades.

Have a great rest of the week!  Tomorrow is Hump Day!  Talk to ya'll soon!

Lots of Love,
