Estée Lauder ‘Pure Color’ Gelée Powder Eyeshadow

These eyeshadows are so pretty, that was almost reason enough for me to buy them.  What a pleasant surprise: they are just as beautiful to use as they are in the compact.  The shadows are described as a “tri-blend formula that’s gel, powder and liquid in one.” In the images they look as if they could be a gel, but they are closer to a traditional powder eyeshadow in my opinion. But you can see how they are revolutionary in how they blend.

They apply so smoothly and can easily be layered.  I have found applying them with my finger actually works best. My favorite look is using Cyber Pink and Cyber Copper dry. But the Cyber Copper wet makes for a beautiful, dramatic liner. The wetter and heavier the application, the shinier and more metallic the appearance. I never would have thought a pinkish shade would work with my reddish undertones.  But it is my favorite new shade for the very corner of my inner eyes. For a truly revolutionary eyeshadow, these are a steal at $24. Plus, it only takes one to create a unique look.

  2. I’m wearing Cyber Copper today actually. It’s not quite as dark on as the swatch. Beautiful texture. They didn’t have the pink when I went but I’m going to check a different store.

      Agreed! I swatched it pretty heavily. I love the way it blends with the pink – highly recommend.
