Laura Mercier Holiday Colour 2012 - Petite Baked Eye Trio in Smoky Metallics

Dress up your holiday look this season with Laura Mercier’s Petite Baked Eye Colour Trio – Wet/Dry. Featuring three Baked Eye Colours in a range of shimmering shades, this petite and portable palette is the perfect way to take your look from day to night. For an even wash of colour, apply dry, or for more vibrant shimmer, simply dampen brush with water and apply wet.
Swatched dry on bare skinThis cute little baked eye shadow trio would make a great stocking stuffer! It's just glam enough (the little bits of sparkle are so fun), and I love that you can go bold by using it wet, or go subtle by using it dry. You can get a really intense metallic look by using them wet. You'd think that a basic silver/grey/black palette would be boring, but I like that there's depth to these colors. The darkest shade is a little patchy when used dry, but works well when used wet as an eyeliner. I appreciate that there's a mirror inside (I can never have enough mirrored compacts! Seriously!). The length of wear on these was pretty good--I always use eye primer though, especially when using baked shadows dry.

Just an FYI, the Golden Metallic petite baked eye trio is gorgeous too--I swatched it at my local Laura Mercier makeup counter and just loved all of the pretty colors.

If you love baked eyeshadows, or know someone who does, I highly suggest that you pick these up!
