On my last foray, I bought Innocence and Rose Champagne, both base or highlighting shades. I realized that I would need a photo of them after I used them, so I apologize for the streaks from heavy use of Rose Champagne on the right above. Both shadows have shimmery finishes - the kind of perfect shimmer that Le Métier de Beauté shadows offer, with their refined pearl-like texture, great creamy coverage, and maximum sheen (no glitter with these lovelies).
Innocence is a new shade - one that I've read is a re-introduction of Innocence in its former life. It's paler now. Innocence is a very light skin-toned color (on my skin). Rose Champagne may be the perfect pink. Pink shadows are hard for me to wear. If they are too pink, they bring out any redness I might have in my eyes (or skin). Rose Champagne doesn't do that.
I think both shades are perfect base shadow shades for anyone except my chocolate-skinned friends. On them, these shades would be highlighters.
Le Métier de Beauté's True Color Eye Shadows are all available in small round compacts, each with a mirror. They do not come with useless little brushes or sponge-tipped applicators. No self-respecting makeup addict would use those things anyhow.
If you are interested in purchasing a few True Color Eye Shadow shades, now's the time! In Circle just started at Neiman Marcus, and there are gifts with purchase galore in the beauty department. I shared the Le Métier de Beauté GWP last week. It's a preview of Le Metier de Beaute Volumizing
Even better, the new holiday color collection just arrived, including Peau Vierge Lash Growth Serum ($95), which I haven't had a chance to test, and the MARCHESA holiday goodies we've been eagerly awaiting. I hear that Le Métier de Beauté believes that holiday happens in December, not October. I agree!
Le Métier de Beauté is available at Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Nordstrom (online). Are there a few shades in your future? If you would like to see more, just use the "Search This Blog" box on the right sidebar and search on "Le Metier."

I have the original Innocence which is hard to wear. I don't understand though why they'd create a new color and give it an old name. That doesn't make sense to me. Rose Champagne is one of my favorite shadows though so I hope they don't change that one.
ReplyDeleteI'll ask someone, Marcia. It does seem confusing. :)
ReplyDeleteRose Champagne looks wonderful, and that volumizing mascara is really intriguing after using anamorphic lash for about three weeks now. I can't wait to see all the holiday stuff! Have you heard anything about the winter Kaleidoscope?
ReplyDeleteJust bought the new Kaleidoscope today at Neiman Marcus! Both Tysons and Mazza have it. It is "beyond gorgeous."
ReplyDeleteI will post photos tomorrow. You are going to love it!
Yay! I can't wait!!! I'm the biggest LMDB groupie aren't I haha.
ReplyDeleteHey there, Sparklehead, we can compete for the honor of being a LMdB groupie - don't you think it's a rather exclusive club?
