Le Metier de Beaute Face Kaleidoscope Kit applied

This kit was a gift from the lovely Dempeaux (www.Dempeaux.com) another of my international cultural exchange partners (and my supplier of Lanolips before it came to the UK). You can read her thoughts and post on this Le Metier kit here. The four products in the kit are (from top left, clockwise) Flawless Face Powder in Translucent (bone, but does not appear obviously yellow on the skin), Whisper highlighter (beige pink), bronzer (yellow-brown) and Echo blush (pinky peach).

I already own and love the Echo blush, so I was interested to see if I'd think that the other products in the kit would impress me too. I have to admit, I didn't think the bronzer would work on me - it's quite yellow-toned in the pan, and has subtle shimmer. With a light hand it's actually very natural looking, even on my pale skin. I used it to contour my temples, cheekbone and chin in a light 3 and reverse 3 shape, and it doesn't look obvious on my pale olive skin. I then applied the Echo blush to the apples of my cheeks, the face powder just to my t-zone, and the highlighter on the highest point of my cheekbones.

Here's what the kit looks like applied on me:
I'm wearing rms Beauty un-cover concealer in 11 under my eyes and around my nose, but no foundation. Lips are Lanolips Rhubarb, and I'm wearing the Le Metier de Beaute Hypnotique Kaleidoscope Kit on my eyes.

  2. Stunning! The whole look is very fall. I love the subtle sheen of the eye colors too. No foundation- my goodness your skin is so clear. x jeanie

  3. I like how these eye shadows look on you! We have similar colouring (eyes, hair and even skin tone is close) so your photos give me a great idea about the shades x

  4. You look lovely! I love all your FOTDs actually, you always look so serene! I'm still hoping that one day LMDB will become available here in Italy...though it's highly doubtful (we don't even have Laura Mercier or Bobbi Brown which is largely available in other European countries!) xx

  5. Such a pretty look Grace! You are giving me a big-time Face Kit lemming here, and I'm thinking that it's probably more worth the expense than the Lip Kit...
    Your skin btw is just gorgeous! Whether good genes or good care, keep it up!

  6. Lovely look, I especially like the eyes. It looks so beautiful with your eye colour. Do you know whether that Hypnotique Eye Kit is still available in the UK? I can't find it on the Liberty or Selfridges website but then Le Cirque isn't on there either.

  7. That looks beautiful on you. I was looking at it yesterday but didn't know the shade names. Since I have Echo blush and a Le Metier bronzer then you've saved me the money on this.
    But I still like the looks of it.

  8. That gives you such a healthy fresh look! I have Echo and Whisper on my list to get ;)

  9. Thanks all for kind comments :)

    Nina - it's definitely more worth the cash than the lip kit IMO. I think the skin is a combo of lucky genes (thanks Ma and Dad!) but I'm increasingly impressed with the new Nude serum and the Apivita day cream too. x

    Hi Lipstick Luvvie - Hypnotique was last year's Winter/holiday kit, unfortunately - Liberty has sold out of it now. I'm looking forward to seeing this year's kit.

    Hey Marcia - I *saved* you money! *proud face* ;)

  10. I think this looks lovely on you, I had admired Dempeaux's post on this face kit too. I agree with Nina's comment that this is more worthy of investment than the lip kit. I really like the overall look too. Rhubarb lanolips looks very nice.

  11. Wow, that kit looks amazing on you! You're right - the bronzer looks really natural. The face powder is undetectable on your skin too. I love your eyes! Great look! x

  14. Face looks flawless and so do the eyes-and I haven't been impressed by a warm brown eye in ages now...
    Totally regretting not ordering Hypnotique from the Liberty site!!!!
    You 're a very lucky girl for owning it and you should wear it more often, it looks stunning! :)
