Estee Lauder Holiday 2010

November 4, 2010

Estee Lauder Pure Color Extravagant Gold Palette ($42) is a versatile 5-color palette allows you to play with intensities, mix and blend shades of varying color intensities and finishes: matte, satin, shimmer or metallic. Use the highlighter to brighten the look and widen eyes instantly and the deepest shade to structure and define the eyes. The palette includes a full mirror and applicators/brushes in Estee Lauder’s sleek gold compact.

Recommendation: Another wonderful eyeshadow palette with versatile complementing colors for the Holiday Collection. The shadows are very smooth and easy to blend. If you like to use browns on your eyes you’ll like this palette including every color from a highlighter to a contour.

I absolutely love how easy it is to blend the shadow colors. It feels velvety smooth when applied, long-lasting and doesn’t crease. All the colors in this palette work wonderfully together, you could probably make at least 3 different looks with the 5 shades of brown. This palette complements Estee Lauder’s Holiday 2010 red lipstick.

The lightest brown is more like a shimmery champagne color best used as a highlighter to brighten up the eyes. The orange toned brown is like a shimmery orange gold color. The the right is a shimmery copper brown. Above is a shimmery taupe brown and in the middle is a matte dark brown for contouring.
