In the spirit of all things candy-coated, Benefit Cosmetics recently added this deliciously shimmery pink beige velvet eyeshadow shade to their collection (buns swatch, at left).
If you’re a sugarbomb addict (aren’t we all?), this eyeshadow shade is a perfect partner for your favorite cheek color! As always, Benefit’s eye shadows are a silky treat, apply smoothly and deliver build-able color for a subtle or more dramatic look.
Off label use: In a pinch, this shadow shade also makes a great blush!
Retail price is $18. Other new shades include Bo Peep (lily pink), fancy pansy (lavender), mermaid (golden turquoise), nice melons (papaya pearl) and shamrocker (iced mint). Don’t be afraid to play with some color this season, ladies!
