Belle Belle Beauty

It is another Friday so time for another palette. And this one is hot off the presses. I haven’t covered a Lancôme product in a while, but I’ve always had respect for this subtle and Parisian line. The latest release is making quite the splash. Likely because it is the most comprehensive and fun-to-use eyeshadow palette for almost any kind of look.

One of my favorite beauty bloggers had her hands in the design of this beauty. Lisa Eldridge serves as Lancôme Global Makeup Creative Director and was inspired by vignettes of Parisian life. The sturdy but still elegant case houses 16 ultra-soft shades from neutral to deep

Unlike some of the Urban Decay palettes, this collection ranges from cool to warm. The delicate champagne on the delicate end morphs into a rich and daring matte and shimmer finishes. The sixteen shades a grouped based on an inspiring time of day in Paris.

Good Morning Paris:

• Filigree (Light Gold Shimmer)
• Choquette (Peach Matte)
• Parfait (Light Pink Matte)
• Kitten Heel (Gold Copper Shimmer)

Ride & Promenade

• Joie (Golden-Bronze Shimmer)
• Voyage (Muted Purple Matte)
• Sante (Brown Matte)
• Éclair (Purple Metallic)

Unexpected Rendez-vous

• Exhibition (Orchid Shimmer)
• Zip Me Up (Deep Purple Shimmer)
• Volcano (Silvery Gray Shimmer)
• Clock Strikes 12 (Gray Metallic)

Nuit Parisienne

• Audacious (Smokey Brown Shimmer)
• Couture (Dark Brown Matte)
• It List (Black Matte)
• Nuit (Black Metallic)

No shock that I am drawn to the “Good Morning Paris” subset because of the wearable and sheer shades. The width of each pan is just large enough to use the included dual-ended brush. But I secretly confess to loving these applied with the finger for a wash of color. Available at Lancome-usa.com, Nordstrom, Saks.com and Sephora.
