Le Metier de Beaute Fig Eyeshadow
Le Metier de Beaute Fig Eyeshadow
Le Metier de Beaute Fig Eyeshadow ($30.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a reddened eggplant purple with a soft, frosted sheen. When applied wet, it takes on a slightly more jewel-toned depth, while applied dry, it appears the faintest bit lighter. There is not a big difference between the two, and the color payoff is excellent either way. Make Up For Ever #311 is darker–it has more of a blackened base. Inglot #452 is similar but redder, less purple. theBalm Curvy Cami is less intense with a dustier color, but there is some similarity.
The texture of Le Metier de Beaute eyeshadows is phenomenal–rich and buttery with a silky feel and smooth application. These eyeshadows can be used wet or dry, but generally, they work as well as wet as they do dry, which is nice, because it allows the user to decide on the application without sacrificing color payoff or texture. Here, Fig worked well both wet and dry, and the color intensity with either application method was lovely–really dense, opaque color with a silky smooth feel.
Where to Buy: Nordstrom, $30
The Glossover
Fig's formula is consistent with Le Metier de Beaute's richly pigmented but soft textured eyeshadows. The color will work well with both cooler and warmer skin tones.

Oh dear lord....that is absolutely beautiful! The shade, pigmentation, sheen, everything about it. Gonna go border shopping again soon, just to pick this puppy up!
Fig is on my LMDB wish list. It is a great color to bring out the golden tones in brown eyes. Thanks for the swatches!
Ooh, that's gorgeous. I may finally make my first purchase from this brand!
Hey Christine, Not commenting on this product. Just an FYI that Blogger's Obsession is available at MAC. Just placed my 'back-up' order.
Ditto! $30 for one eyeshadow! Pretty fall color, but pass for me too:)
The color is gorgeous, but I just can't justify spending $30 on one eyeshadow!
*sigh* I'd temporarily forgotten how badly I was wanting Fig. Thanks for reminding me. AGH!
I feel like I must have a dupe for this somewhere, so this is another pass.
Okay, I'll get this one. That's what I wanted MAC's Indian Ink to be and it's about 3 times the product for less than 3 times the price.
I think there's a typo there, because you referred to it being applied wet twice in the same sentence. Unless I'm reading it wrong. D: It's a beautiful color, but not one that I'd pay 30 dollars for. :P
