Laura Mercier Metallic Creme Eye Colour

Laura Mercier Metallic Creme Eye Colour

I purchased one of the lovely Metallic Creme Eye Colours from Laura Mercier this month, and I am so glad I did. A lightweight, non greasy formula, this is a great cream eye shadow that glides on the eye and does not crease.

The packaging I love, it is small, compact and lightweight and would easily fit in any makeup bag or handbag. At £19.99/$23.00, this product is maybe a little pricey, but it is an awesome eye shadow and well worth the investment. These eye shadows come in 8 amazing metallic shades and I opted for the shade 'Platinum'. This eye shadow glides onto the eyes effortlessly and has a lovely shimmery finish. I like to apply a little of the product to the lid with my finger but you can build up the product for a more vivid/opaque colour.

As you can see from the swatch above if you layer this product (this is quite a thick layer), you get a really opaque colour with a lovely sheen. When built up, this product shows more of a rose gold shade but when applied sparingly to the lid the colour is more of a champagne/light pink shade, very similar to Naked Lunch by Mac or Kitten by Stila.

I have quite oily eye lids and I found that this product stayed alot better than a powder eye shadow would on my lids. It did not crease, which is a huge bonus and did not fade too much throughout the day either. Although a little pricey, you really only need to use the tiniest amount on the eye so this small tube would last a heck of a long time! Great product and I am looking forward to trying another shade from this collection, possibly the shade 'Alloy'.
