Lancome Amethyst Glam Shadow & Liner Palette
Lancome Color Design Shadow & Liner Palette: Amethyst Glam
Lancome Amethyst Glam Color Design Shadow & Liner Palette ($48.00 for 0.141 oz.) is a purple-themed palette of five eyeshadows. It is one of ten new palettes from Lancome, just in time for spring. This one seems quite apt for the season, with the springy hues of lilac.
The all-over base shade is a pale white with a subtle pink-lilac iridescence; it seems more like a shimmer overlay. The lid shade is a brightened lilac purple with pinky undertones–such a pretty shade. The crease shade is a gray-cast purple with a blue-gray undretone and copper-gold shimmer. The highlighter shade is a soft pink-lilac with a shimmered finish. The liner shade is a deep blue-violet with soft blue micro-shimmer, which applies much better wet than dry.
my thoughts on the formula: The texture of these eyeshadows is very soft and silky, but all but the lid shade were sheerer than I’d like. The all-over base shade was the sheerest, while the highlighter shade seemed a touch sheer but worked out pigmentation-wise when worn on the lid–except it suffered from some fall out.
I’m disappointed in the quantity provided in the palette, though. Lancome’s Color Design Quads come in at 0.16 oz. and their Color Design Eyeshadow singles at 0.0458 oz., which works out to be $263/oz. and $371/oz. respectively. This palette is $340/oz., which makes it more expensive ($48 vs. $42) with less product (0.141 oz. vs. 0.16 oz) than the Color Design Quads.

final thoughts: The palette is cooler in tone, but I think the brightness of the lid color along with the pink tones of the highlighter shade, make it appropriate for warmer skin tones, too. I’d recommend this for light to medium skin tones, but darker skin tones may find some shades a little too sheer.

Product & Review FAQ
Where can I purchase Amethyst Glam? How much is it?
Sephora, $48.
Is it limited edition?
No.
is thiere any lancome branch here at philippines manila? please answer!
What is a dupe for the lid colour? Gorgeous
Maybe UD Stalker...
OMG, that is absolutely stun-ning! I wonder when - or if - those palettes are coming to Australia? Do you know? ta, xxx
This is gorgeous! But I can more or less dupe 3 of the colors, so I cant justify spending $48 for small amounts of 2 colors. Christine, any suggestions for dupes of the lid and crease colors? I don't want to spend $48, but I'm loving those 2 shades!
Maybe UD Stalker for the lid, NARS Party Monster for the crease!
Generally, not a fan of Lancome as their pigments are weak but these colors are beautiful. However, they are much more sheer than they look.
So very totally and completely me. I'll have to pick this up when it comes out here...
The lid color is very pretty but I find the rest quite boring...
Wish they were a lot more pigmented. The shades would be soooooo lovely!
I probably would use the all-over-base as a highlighter and the highlighter as an all-over-base.. :P Its pretty tho, but I´ll skip this :)
I'm a massive purple fan and using it a lot in my make up right now. But these colours really just don't do it for me individually or as a set.
Not really my colours and all too shimmery
This is so pretty, but the look of the liner swatched dry is what's putting me off.
Oh wow, this is gorgeous! :)
When you use the shadow wet, do you literally just use water? or a fixing spray? xx
I dampen my brush with water!
It's disappointing all these have pigmentation problems, the colors are lovely!
i have it. and i love it!!!!!!
