So at first I thought I have an olive shade which is marked as blue..these both read pink and blue..(Remember the goof up in Eyeconic..I got two greens instead of one grey..read HERE )

Now I got confused between the blue and green..there was no swatch for the blue one anywhere online..and this swatches a deep green..


Basically the three blue/greens in this range are one is a turquoise blue, one olive green and one this Blue which is a deep sea green..

These are eyeshadows in chubby plastic crayon form with transparent lids and matching ends to the shades..and needs to be sharpened.


Pink is a beautiful champagne pink..makes a nice easy to wear color..a great highlight, perfect for inner corners and also highlighting your cheeks.. (or as shown to us in the Lakme Absolute Illusion Masterclass, after the normal base shadow is done, this pink shade was warmed in between fingers and applied at the centre..i.e where the eyeballs are..and it gave a beautiful nice shimmery sheen) Very multi purpose !

Blue is actually a deep sea green..its quite rich and dark..and would make for perfect night time smokey eyes.


They have all the features they mentioned ! Glides effortlessly, super soft, amazing pigmentation, stays put throughout the day but needs to be blended super fast coz it sets immediately.


Here I have used Pink with subtle eyeliner..would look great with bold red lips..or any bright lip..when you do not want the eyes to be heavy..but still some sheen and shine 🙂

Pros:

1. Super soft.
2. Glides smoothly.
3. Doubles up as an eyeliner.. (though a thicker one..you can make for subtle smokey eyes by just blending the thick liner)
4. Stays put through the day.
5. Amazingly pigmented.
6. Comes in 8 shades to choose from.. Bronze and Purple are amazing too..apart from these two..and White which is a nice golden white.
7. Pink and White are multi purpose.

Cons:

1. I am not sure why this is named ‘Blue’ :/
2. These are priced a little higher. (Rimmel Scandaleyes are priced at Rs.415/- for 3.2g qty..though a few shades in Lakme are more pigmented than Rimmel)

Overall I would say, these are quite amazing…and I loved the shades they have come up with..there are subtle Pink and White..and bright Purple and Blue, and Indian wedding wear Bronze and Olive..there is one for everyone..and for all occasions..Highly recommend them..

I have got the shades Milk, Yogurt and Rust..I did not get Black Bean as I already have enough of black eye pencils and gel liners for a base..

Milk is a plain pure milky white

Yogurt is a shimmery frosty champagne color with coppery light pink sheen

Rust is a metallic purply reddish brown with a hint of gold..a true RUST..difficult to describe this color..but its a very pretty and different color..though not an everyday color..works great with Indian wear 🙂

These are like quite famous..so everyone must be knowing about these..very creamy and super pigmented..one swipe and nice color without any tugging,pulling..

I love all the colors mostly..quick and easy way for a nice splash of color on eyes when in hurry..

Pros:

1. Super creamy and glide on smoothly.
2. Nice pigmentation.
3. Work as eye shadow base to make colors pop..for few hours :p
4. Lighter colors work great as highlighters and for inner corners.
5. The shade Yogurt works as an amazing highlighter for the cheekbones and cupid’s bow,inner corners and on the center of the lid.
6. I used Milk on waterline too and it did not sting or irritate eyes.
7. Pretty amazing and nice colors to choose from.
8. Would act as a base for pigments too.

Cons:

1. As these are JUMBO..I cannot use it as a liner..and even on the waterline they tend to come out a little on the lower lashes which kinda looks weird.
2. Sharpening them is a little tricky.
3. I said used as eye shadow base for few hours coz they crease 🙁 so you cannot skip a base completely.
4. The plastic cap is flimsy.
5. I wish they were available easily in India at the same cost 🙁

Overall these are quite nice as base or for a quick wash of color on the eyes when in hurry. And the most versatile of all the colors is Yogurt..!! That according to me is a must have as it works amazingly well as a highlighter..and as Mrunmayee discovered the color is a super close to MAC Cream Color Base in Hush..so a dupe !

I would recommend Yogurt the most..followed by  Milk and Black bean if you use eye shadows regularly. They work well as base for different color combos and for smokey eyes. Rust is quite a unique color and a dupe of MAC Fluidline in Rich Ground.Other colors I liked are Slate,Purple and Iced Mocha. Even Gold is pretty for Indian wear 🙂
