Estee Lauder Shadow Paints for Spring 2013 Swatches & Review
Estée Lauder has nine new Pure Color Stay On Shadow Paints out for this spring.
These Shadow Paints can be used on their own as eye shadows, under other eye shadows to make them deeper and more intense, or even as eye liner. They are super creamy and have light-emitting dimensional pearls. They last all day with no creasing as well (well at least over a primer they do!).
Clockwise from top: Cosmic, Sinister, Neon Fuchsia, Halo, Chained
Halo, Chained, Cosmic, Neon Fuchsia, Sinister
Halo is a pale pink/champagne shimmer. Very light shade, would work well underneath other shadows best I think.
Chained is a medium copper metallic. Nice pigmentation.
Cosmic is a deep bronze shimmer. Kind of a patchy shade.
Neon Fuchsia is a bright purple shimmer. Bright, pretty and would make a good eye liner also.
Sinister is a dark charcoal grey with multi-colored shimmer. This color is intense and deep, my favorite one by far.
Overall: These do feel creamy and they set relatively quickly. They are super easy to apply with your finger, which I usually do with products like this. A couple of them are a little on the patchy side at first so you have to layer them. The good thing is with each layer they get more intense. The best one for me in terms of intensity and interesting color is Sinister.
Availability: This month at Nordstrom, Estée Lauder, etc.
Pricing: $24.00.

How would you compare with similar products from other lines? I am a fan of the Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadows, and want to try others like them. Or Maybelline Color Tattoo shadows? Mac Paint Pots? Wonder if Estee will expand the shade range on this. seems very limited.
I haven’t tested them out comparing them yet, but they feel and act like the Benefit ones. I don’t support Maybelline so I haven’t tried theirs.
I’ve been curious about these – thanks for the review!

Neon Fuchsia would make a lovely eyeliner for me! The rest of the shades are a bit on the common side, but I do love bronze shadows!
I love their pigmentation and they are gorgeous shades. x

Too bad Estee Lauder isn’t cruelty-free. If they were, I would definitely pick up the light beige and probably Chained too

I really like the Neon Fuchsia. I probably would never wear it as eyeshadow, but I would use it as a liner.

These are so COOL. I work in a dept store and am constantly at the Lauder counter playing with them. The texture is so lightweight. They’re awesome.

I am curious to how these work/hold up against other cream shadows.
Halo looks like a great base. Thanks for the review!

Gorgeous shades! But I did raise my eyebrows at “light-emitting dimensional pearls”. Say what?!
