The taupe/brown liquid eyeshadow base applied on its own. This is quite liquid and sheer, I do prefer the look of two thin layers to avoid it looking anaemic.
With the blue loose colour powder applied over the top (and a dab on its own on the left.) On my eyes, I wear with the liquid base applied on my lid and just past my crease, and then dab the loose colour powder in the centre of my mobile lid and blended out. Today I tried dabbing the loose powder directly on with the doe foot applicator in the tube and got a lot of fall out; I think it'd work better dabbing onto the back of my hand first as a palette, and then picking up colour from there with a firm brush or a sponge applicator before applying to my lid.
The combination is pretty, but quite pale. I do feel I need to add the brown pencil to give a little definition to the look.Also in the Egerie Collection:
Eye Shimmer Duo in Shiny Mint (chartreuse base, cool beige mint powder. Edit: from other pictures online, it appears that the powder may be a beige pink, not a beige mint. It was my least favourite of the combinations, so I didn't look closely enough!)
Eye Shimmer Duo in Starry Violet (grey taupe base, violet powder.)
Blush stick.
Highlighter stick.
Black and pink nail polishes.
Shu Uemura is available online at www.beautyexpert.co.uk, and they have the Egerie collection up already.




Grace thank you for the review and pictures. This is honestly the only review that I've ever seen for this product--and your pictures show that it's quite a pretty combination. Shu really seems to do cutting edge formulatios==this one among them. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Amy - I wish the colours were a little deeper for my taste, but it's a lovely combination. Shu does do some really excellent and interesting formulations.
ReplyDeletelovely stuff! thanks for the pictures :)
ReplyDeleteI can't tell if you like it or not. I was interested in the taupe and purple but it seems like it might be too light for my taste.
ReplyDeleteHi Get Gawjus - thank you :)
ReplyDeleteHey Marcia - That's probably because I'm not sure if I do! I like the effect, but I do wish the brown was a little more pigmented and the blue a little brighter. I like it, if I add liner, though. I just wouldn't say 'Oh, you must rush out and buy these!'
