Guerlain Spring 2011: d’Un Soupir

Guerlain d’Un Soupir (187) Eyeshadow ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep, dark brown with warm amber peeking through the base with silvery-white micro-shimmer. It has a very rich, satiny finish–not too frosty but certainly not lacking in dimension and some sparkle. Whether it is used wet or dry, it applies beautifully and intensely.

my thoughts on the formula: Guerlain’s eyeshadow texture is phenomenal in their singles–smooth, silky, very buttery. The color is true-to-pan and delivers rich results with little product needed. These eyeshadows are massive–over double the average single eyeshadow–and so by the ounce, Guerlain is as expensive (or as affordable) ($300/oz.) as MAC eyeshadows ($290/oz.).

• Product: 30/30
• Value: 9/10
• Ease of Use: 4/5
• Packaging: 4/5

final thoughts: This will make for a beautiful smoky brown for warmer complexions.  It has noticeable red-brown leanings, but there is this shadow of taupe that seems to keep it from veering too red or orange.  I think it will still work well for cooler skin tones as a result.
