Cle
de Peau Silky Shadow in Bordeaux Amethyst (#116) – Limited Edition
I must give credit when
credit is due – it was Emily Weiss of www.intothegloss.com
that sparked my interest in this product.
Reading her vivid description of her encounter with this shadow backstage
at the Rochas show in Paris during fashion week way back in March then, seeing
it on a model on her site left me furiously flipping through my contacts to call
the Cle de Peau counter here in Nashville! I’m a sucker for the old school
application of shadow that is a semi sheer wash of color you lightly blend over
the entire lid. Seeing as how I’m
without bottom liner or shadow about as much as Gwen Stefani is without a
scarlet lip – I always use the sponge applicator or a stiff brush to dust a bit
of shadow on my lower lid under the lashes as well. This shadow is one of few that still looks
neutral and modern when applied in that fashion.
The violet color of this
shadow is so beautiful and has the most perfect hint of shimmer. It takes all of about 5 seconds to apply and
it truly is all you need. It’s a limited
edition and I think I’m about to order several more because I have a feeling
it’s going to fly off the shelves. I do
recommend using an eye base to keep the color from creasing. A tiny little bit looks soft and ethereal
while a more heavy handed application gives you that sort of heroin chic/punk/edgy
look. I love both! The models at Rochas went sans mascara while
wearing this shadow but, I still chose to add mascara to my look!
