Shaking up what can sometimes be a staid line-up, Lauder have decided to rock the metallic trend – and they’ve done it heartstoppingly well with limited edition Bronze Goddess Liquid Eyeshadows, €20. The blue – the azure gorgeousness must be seen to be truly appreciated – led to excitement times one million for us when we saw it at the launch last week. And the bronze and the purple – yummers.
Read on to discover my efficient and bullet pointed summary of the pros and cons of this product.
- Colours: fantastic. Choose from Aqua Flash, Ultra Violet, Molten Bronze or Sand Shimmer
- Staying power: rock solid. Forget sweaty nightclubs, tropical jungles or a Connemara downpour – the metallics laugh in the face of such forces.
- This is liquid eyeshadow and so you must work quickly. I tried out the Ultra Violet at the weekend. I had two eyelids started when the doorbell rang. By the time I resumed my makeup (a minute later) the purple had dried concrete like on my lids and the only thing to do was blend like mad with liberal applications of complementary eyeshadow. Unconvinced that it worked. Good as a base for a smoky eye as Kirstie suggested (for it was she at the door). But maybe too much for Mothers Day lunch?
- You can go for a subtle wash of colour – or you can pile it on, it’s up to you which depth of texture you prefer.
- The applicator that comes with the product is seriously crap. Use your own brushes.
- Blue is sumptuous on the eyelids, but better on dark skin or with a healthy dose of bronzer. For healthy read radioactive if you’re normally pale as a pooka
- Blue, purple and bronze are simply stunning as eyeliners and I think this works the best for our complexions
So to sum up. I love the colours, the staying power and the va va voom – but think more is definitely less here. If that makes sense! Use them to line the eyes would be my advice.
Available from April 2010 at House of Fraser, going nationwide from May. (Limited edition)

can confirm, purple is gorgeous. Did a fancy smokey with it on friday and there’s a learning curve and if you’re not quick to blend it’ll set rock-hard. Great for a bright line or as a base for powder shadow, it’s less successful worn all over the lid solo I think.
Oh I love the colours!
Wow, they look fab on the swatches. I think the purle is a must and would fab with my Mac Style Black Collection, Young Punk, hmmmmm, now all I need to do is win the lotto to keep up with my make-up obsession!!! LOL
fabilis colours & intensity
think the blue has the best; purple is a bit wishy-washy until you build it, but you can just apply a thin layer; let it set; apply more for totes bling FX!
im thinking the same lee!- mac mineralised shadows in guilt by association and blue flame, oh how excited i am!
They all look amazing! Aqua Flash is GORGEOUS! I wonder how Sand Shimmer looks like
Sparkliness! Great colours. The aqua is gorgeous but not for me (grey eyes, pallor, blonde hair) I think I could be persuaded by the purple.
are these on counter now??
