Topic: Eyeshadows
Besame is one of those old school makeup companies that produces a solid product year after year. A bit expensive, Besame eyes
hadows normally run $20-22 but are well worth the price. The eyeshadows are very highly pigmented, so one light dip of your brush is all you need to provide a full eye of color. There's no need to pile it on and you really don't need a base to get the full effect.
Alluring Brown, in particular, is a color that has worked for every skin tone I've tried it on. It's a sparkling sepia that brings color to the eyes but is also very natural. The shimmer in this product is an industry oddity - it rests on the lid without seeping into any fine lines on the lids.
A final note, the compact you see is actually the standard Besame pillbox used for their eyeshadows and blushes. When the product is finally used it (nearly impossible because a little goes a loooong way) you simply pop out the pan and you're left with a beautiful gold and red Art Deco/1920s style box to carry pills or breath refreshers in!
