Lancôme Colour Design: 5 Shadow and Liner Palette Review

Hello my wonderful readers! How are you? Today is a product review day, and I chose one of my most favorite palettes to date. The full name of the product is the Lancôme Paris Colour Design: Eye Brightening All-In-One 5 Shadow and Liner Palette. Phew! Other than being known for exquisite cosmetics, Lancôme is also known for the long names of their products. All cheesy jokes aside, keep scrolling down to read my full review on this product. Well, onto today’s post!

This palette first caught my eye when I was browsing around the makeup counters at one of The Bay department stores. It was a few minutes to closing, and I saw this palette and loved how the colours looked. You do not find many people wearing teal-green shadows anymore, but I believe that more people would change their mind about those colours if they took a look at the palette. I only recently saw a few other cosmetic brands posting advertisements with teal and blue eye shadows, which made me feel happy to see them. These modern shades of teal are perfect for transitioning from winter to spring (or if you live somewhere cold like me, winter to even more winter!). I am a big fan of Lancôme, as their products never fail to impress. This palette has a lot to offer, and I hope you all feel the same way after reading my review. 

The first feature that deserves attention is how they give you a lot of eyeshadow to experiment with. I have two other Lancôme palettes, and both of them are only half-finished, as they give you a fair amount of product. This palette is different from the other two, as this one numbers each of the eyeshadow steps, with a number.

 As soon as you open the box, you will find a folded instructions booklet. One side shows you how to achieve a wearable “day” look. The reverse side will show you how to achieve a “night” look. This is a very useful resource for those who are just starting out with makeup.

The instructions and numbered steps is not why I had bought the palette. It was purchased because of the beautiful colours, and how they look flattering on a lot of skintones. I was a bit worried that the colours would not look very flattering on my skintone, but as soon as I applied the bright teal shade to my lids, I loved the way it looked. Here are the swatches for all the colours below:

For some unknown reason, this photo keeps uploading so that it rests sideways.

Another great feature of the palette is that every shade is numbered 1-5, so you know which one to apply. Another thing I would like to compliment is how the shades (like always) are smooth, and not chalky, and do not crease on me. Also, they are all perfectly pigmented, not too bright, and not too subtle. You can easily amplify the brightness with another layer of colour for a more dramatic effect, but I believe the colours make the right amount of impact as it is.

 

I would definitely recommend buying this palette, especially during the winter season, as you will get a lot of chances to experiment with the colours, as they just scream winter glamour. Pictures will go up; I just have to keep studying, for the time being. So go to your nearest Lancôme counter and try out the palette for yourself!  Well, there you go! Thank you for reading this post, and enjoy the rest of your day.

Happy Studying
