New Barry M Dazzle Dust Shades

I have a small but growing collection of the Barry M Dazzle Dusts. These little pots of loveliness have a bit of a cult following. They are finely milled loose shadows, mostly shimmery but with a couple mattes. Each little glass pot costs £4.50 but as usual with drugstore brands keeps your eyes peeled for offers. Barry M Recently released 4 new shades of which I have 2 here to show you.


The first is Burgundy Noir. Oh my... Well hello lover. Now this is my kinda loose shadow. It’s a rich black base packed with wine coloured flecks. They actually translate onto the eye too! It’s like they scanned my brain for my perfect shade and made it. The second is Bright Indigo which, surprisingly, a bright indigo with a lot of purple in it. This is one of the rare shades with no glitter or shimmer in it. It is insanely vivid and again right up my alley. Here we have them swatched with a primer (left) and without (right).

Without they still pack a fair bit of punch but they do benefit from having something to stick to. Fallout isn’t as bad as you might anticipate with these but I still recommend doing your eye makeup first so you can clean up before applying foundation. I have never ever experienced problems with creasing or fading with these (as long as you use a primer).

The other two new shades a Buff (a creamy nude) and Brass (a, well, Brass shade). I didn’t pick these up as I felt I already had similar shades but I’ve heard people raving about brass in particular. Next on my list of shades to pick up is Red and Gold Iridescent.... x
