The BE Eyecolour Difference. As individual as you are, bareMinerals Eyecolours vary in texture from ultra sheer to fully opaque. Texture Guide A glimmer of eyecolour: high intensity sheen. Can be softer and more translucent when worn dry, but creates an opaque wash of high sheen when worn wet (called "foiling"). A glimpse of eyecolour: supremely soft and sheer with a touch of glow. Use dry for whisper effects and wet for more opaque sheen. A velvet of eyecolour: the most opaque of the three. Incredibly creamy colour that gives a rich, smooth finish.
