Givenchy Bleu Soie Ombre Couture Cream Eyeshadow (approx Rs 2,000)
I love eye makeup but there are times when I don’t have time to apply and blend powder eye shadows. That time cream eyeshadows come to rescue. I love long wear cream eyeshadows that are easy to apply and blend with a great staying power. I got Givenchy Bleu Soie Ombre Couture Cream Eyeshadow around 4 months back and have been using it off and on. The color doesn’t allow me to wear it on a day to day basis however its a beautiful shade for special occasions.
Shade – Givenchy Bleu Soie Ombre Couture Cream Eyeshadow is a pretty marine blue with a slight hint of shimmer. The shimmer particles don’t really show up much on the lids. I find this color very flattering on Indian complexions.
Texture & Formula – I love cream eyeshadows , Bleu Soie has beautiful creamy texture which isn’t slippery. It sets almost immediately which means you have to blend it as soon as its applied. It has fine shimmer but they don’t come in the way while blending the product also they don’t make the texture gritty or chunky. Even on the lids shimmers don’t show up much making it a perfect base for powder eye shadow.
Pigmentation – The eye shadow is decently pigmented, I have to layer it up twice to get an opaque finish.
Staying Power – Givenchy Bleu Soie has excellent staying power which makes it worth each penny you spend. It stays on for good 8+ hours without creasing or fading.
This is one of my favorite eye shadow formulas after MAC Pain Pot, which are equally good for in a rush eye shadow application. It works amazingly under blue powder eyeshadow and I have used this as a base in my Blue Smokey Eye Makeup Tutorial.
Overall Thoughts
If you are someone like me who is always in hurry and doesn’t get much time to apply and blend powder eye shadows than do give Givenchy Ombre Couture Cream Eye Shadow. Bleu Soie is a beautiful blue with fine shimmers and stays on for a really long time without creasing or fading.
