Review 1 for bareMinerals READY™ Eyeshadow 4.0
Purchase "The Happy Place"
-05.23.13
Quick Take: good value
Basically if you have blue eyes, you HAVE to get this! The pictures do not do it justice!
The formula: soft, blendable, long lasting shadows! Do tap your brush after picking up the color to avoid fall out. You need just the teeniest bit and the shadows seriously last ALL day!!! (I use foundation and powder on my lids prior to these shadows rather than primer that I am newly allergic to and it works great!)
The colors:
Left side-perfect for every day.
Top left, matte peachy nude perfect for lid and brow bone. Bottom left, matte plumy soft cool brown, great in crease!
Right side-nice for a night out but if blended, also look beautiful every day.
Top right-peachy sparkler color great for lid or blended with the top left color. Bottom right-shimmery bright purple that looks wonderful as a liner or in crease.

Quick Take: portable, good value
This is my favorite quad from BE. I use the darkest for liner and there is no irritation like some other liner sticks I've used. All the colors compliment my green eyes.

Review 6 for bareMinerals READY™ Eyeshadow 4.0
nice quality shadows
-05.07.13
Quick Take: good value, portable, convenient, pigmented shadows
I bought this palette thinking it'd be travel-friendly since it's rather compact and has all the natural colors one needs for one look, and also comes with a sponge tip applicator which could be convenient. It didn't disappoint me: the palette is a great size, and the shadows are very pigmented and not chalky at all. I got "The Truth" and I absolutely love it.

The Truth Quad
-04.25.13
I already have very similar colors but the texture and application are amazing. I like how it creates a full look that is coordinated beautifully. Getting ready in the morning is a breeze now and the mirrored compact means I can easily carry it around. There is also one warm-ish Brown in the quad that works as a beautiful transition color or subtle day time look. I think bare minerals should work on making the palette a little thinner and also make more color combinations available!

Review 9 for bareMinerals READY™ Eyeshadow 4.0
Gorgeous Color!
-04.03.13
Quick Take: portable, good value, satins mattes and sheers, high quality, versatile
I was skeptical about these quads and did a lot of online research before purchasing them. I bought three and don't regret anything! It's important to note that I have a lot of pink pigmentation and fair skin so, obviously, these colors will appear differently on someone with a different skin tone.
The Dream Sequence -
*500 Thread Count is a very pale, pink matte. In fact, on my skin, it looks white. It tends to be just a tad chalky and doesn't "hold" to the lid as well as the other colors, even with a primer.
*Romp goes on like a metallic. It's a light grey with a VERY shimmery peach shift.
*Boudoir is amazing! So beautiful. It's a sheer violet with a hint of a blue shift.
*Nightcap is a nicely pigmented matte but just slightly chalky. Not so much as to be bothersome.
OVERALL: I'm 100% satisfied with three of the four colors. At my age, Romp is just too shimmery for me to pull off except to use just a dab in the center of the lid.

The Truth -
*Serendipitous is a beautiful, satiny high-light color. True to the description, it is a very pale peach.
*Magnetism is an interesting color. It appears more like a soft, warm gray on my skin tone. It has a very faint silvery-peach shift.
*Fate & Apropos look similar on me. Fate is a bit ashier and has a soft, satin finish. Apropos appears to be more of a matte, purplish-brown with tiny specks of silver glitter. Both are nicely pigmented and feel like butter going on!
OVERALL: I need to use a matte color from another palette as a base if I want to wear it during the day. Serendipitous is my absolute favorite in this quad and Apropos looks amazing when I apply it along the upper lash line.

~~The After Party~~
*Cheers is SO pigmented! It's definitely white but, on my skin tone, it seems to have the faintest gray shift. It's probably my favorite shade of white I've ever owned!
*Mingle is a true, satiny, medium gray. Describing it as pewter is fitting... if pewter had a high-sheen finish!
*Rowdy is my favorite color in this quad. You can build layers of this color if you're going for a smokey eye look, or brush it on lightly as a crease color for day. It's a smooth, matte finish.
*Lights Down is another creamy matte that's a lighter shade of black -- meaning, I've seen deeper blacks. However, it compliments this palette in a way that a deeper black wouldn't. I like using it with a smudge brush as a liner.
OVERALL: Out of the three quads I've purchased, this is definitely my favorite! I have to admit that I was surprised by that as I thought The Dream Sequence would take first place. However, this quad is more versatile, all the colors are highly pigmented, and they just glide over the eyelid effortlessly. I find myself dipping into this quad more often than any other, even if it's only to implement just one of the colors into a look I'm creating using a different palette.

You really should check out a few of these quads yourself. With so many quad options available, you're sure to fall in love with one!

Review 10 for bareMinerals READY™ Eyeshadow 4.0
surprisingly good for pressed shadow
-03.29.13
Quick Take: good value, highly pigmented
I'm used to using loose pigment shadows but given time constraints and good ol' efficiency, I decided to get a pressed shadow set to go with my summer colors. I got The Soundtrack and I love it, especially to use with Sephora's smokey eye brush kit. The colors are highly pigmented and a little goes a long way. I also don't seem to find them irritating. The Soundtrack is a great set for blue eyes and would probably bring out light green eyes nicely as well.

Quick Take: awesome
I've been using Bare Minerals for about 4 yrs now & I love this product. What was missing was their compacts which are now available. I love the colors & convenience. The mirror is large & the shades are complimentary to each other. Great purchase.

Great colors and saturation!
-03.11.13
Quick Take: portable, good value
bareMinerals make fantastic eye shadows. The colors are gorgeous, coverage is solid and long-lasting, and a little goes a long way. Quads like this are great values because you can get so many looks out of one purchase. As long as they keep coming out with great quality and color combinations, I'll keep buying them up!

Great for sensitive eyes
-03.03.13
I have very sensitive, green eyes and have always had issues with finding products that look good without making my eyes water and turn red! I put on the eyeshadow and loved the colors and my eyes did not react the way they usually do. I feel great knowing these shadows are not just sitting there they are working to keep my eyes looking great and in the bareMinerals natural way.

Smooth and Colorful, but Does Fade
-03.02.13
I have this eyeshadow quad in The Dream Sequence. I love the purples, but I wish they lasted longer throughout the day. The pigments are bright and noticeable with a few layers of application, but after a few hours, they start to fade. This may be ok if you're not looking to stand out, but why are you wearing eyeshadow, anyway, if you don't want it to show? The mirror is fantastic, and these colors do last in the package (if not as much on your lids). I've had this compact for over a year and with pretty regular use, I still have a lot left. The shadows are soft and creamy, which is great for powders. No chalkiness here! I dropped this compact a few times, and even though the shadow broke, I could push it back together due to the softness--and it's stayed! I wish the white/cream color were a bit more pigmented or irridescent...or something. I'm pretty fair-skinned, and it barely shows up on me. (I wear it on my brow bone with two other purples on my lid.) the bright purple and the dark purple work pretty well; the irridescent purple sheds a bit, and covers eyeliner and mascara. This is worth it for the color choices and the extremely handy mirrored compact, but it's not the best eyeshadow I've ever used.

BareMinerals Ready eyeshadow
-02.25.13
Quick Take: portable, good value
Pretty colors to choose from. Like any shadow without using primer it's not going to stay on for the entire day without getting in the crease. Overall, nice product. Love that they make 'clean' products.

The Afterparty- awesomeness
-02.18.13
Quick Take: portable, good value, long wearing, easy to use
Long lasting, easy to apply, looks great, lovely colors, good for newbies. What more can I say?
I've never used an eyeshadow compact with 4 colors before (I've also never used a liquid eyeliner for my top lashes either), but with the instructions that came with it, I was looking like a pro within minutes. The colors blend so well, I looked made up, but not too overly done.
You can build up the colors too. But I prefer it to be subtle as it complements my brown eyes. Just use less of it and blend away. I received so many compliments using this.
*Note: I'm Asian with a fair/light skin tone.

Great Eyeshadows
-02.17.13
Quick Take: gorgeous, long lasting
I love the Ready Eyeshadow 4.0 sets. This is is the second quad that I've bought from bareMinerals, & I really like that they've created these eyeshadows in an easy to use compact. The colors are long lasting & easy to apply. The colors are beautiful, & are great for a daytime natural look, as well as a smokey eye night-time look. Great shadows!

Pigmented and Creamy
-02.11.13
Quick Take: portable, good value
I have two of these eyeshadow quads, and both of them are wonderful. The colors are so pigmented, and they have a very creamy and smooth application. I don't get a lot of fallout with these, and the colors blend easily. I like how slim and compact these are; they travel very well.
