Lancome Heat Wave Color Design Eyeshadow Palette
Lancome Heat Wave Color Design Eyeshadow Palette ($42.00 for 0.11 oz.) includes four warm, summery hues in one, limited edition palette. The shades don’t really have names, just color descriptions on the back with a finish listed underneath.
- Beige is a pale, white gold with stronge ryellow undertones. This has a shimmer finish. There is a touch of sheerness, and it has more of a metallic sheen amongst the shimmer as well. It’s yellower than MAC Nylon.
- Peachy Keen is a soft, orange-peach. This has a sheen finish. The color payoff was good, and the shadow itself applied very smoothly. Bare Escentuals Sundance seemed the most similar, but it’s more orange, not quite as dark.
- Copper is a coppery bronze. This has a metallic finish. The shade itself is very smooth and nicely pigmented. It is similar to MAC’s Amber Lights.
- Dark Brown is a medium-dark brown with bronze shimmer. This has a metallic finish. Despite being labeled a metallic finished eyeshadow, it is more shimmer than metallic sheen. The brown shade from Givenchy Candide Garden was the one that seemed similar, though it is a little darker and redder.
Most of the eyeshadows felt really soft and smooth to the touch; Beige was the only one that had a shimmery finish and felt less smooth compared to the other three–I wouldn’t call it gritty or glittery at all, though! It was also the only one that had good pigmentation, as ooposed to great, which the other three shades did have. This is a palette that coordinates really well for warmer skin tones. It’s has summer bronze written all over it. I do think that one would find the golden shade a touch too metallic to use as a regular brow highlighter, but it works well on the inner tearduct. The gradient in light to dark here is also useful, because it allows you to blend and layer the shades to create more variance between the hues.
The shades are housed in a metallic copper palette that’s slim and square, but what I did like about it was the inclusion of a miniature eyeshadow brush–an actual brush. It’s by no means the best eyeshadow brush I’ve used, but it will get the job done decently. It’s also nice to see a brush instead of a sponge-tipped applicator. There is also a full-sized mirror when you open up the palette.

These look so pretty and practical for even everyday wear. Thanks for swatching them! 🙂
It reminds me in a way of MAC’s Cult of Cherry…
Atl least there’s no showstopper in this one. lol
Beautiful colors but I’m pretty sure I have similar shades within my collection…Although, I’m definitely considering picking this up as a little gift for my mom; I just went through her makeup collection the other day and all of her eyeshadows are so old that they barely give off color any more!
The colours are lovely!! I totally want this!
this one looks reeeally cool!!!
anyway, i think you switched the pictures
this palette is actually reallly high quality and im surprised 2 be honest i have the molten shore which is really nice 🙂
†his palette looks so nice but I know i have dupes already …
Anyone else wish SOMEONE would make a matter palette like this since shimmers are overdone by just about everyone.
I used to buy a lot of Lancome make up. Now that our only dept store went under a # of years ago, we have no where that sells Lancome within a good 1.5 hr drive. Thus I don’t see, play, touch and get the GWP things, I don’t buy anything at all from this brand anymore. More access to the brand, I would buy again, esp eyeshadows. They used to have good colors I kept as staples in my wardrobe needs. Also they can be counted on for matte shadows often in great color ranges.
The palette looks gorgeous! I need it LOL eek you’re horrible for my wallet 🙁
Copying Dior Crush Glow!
Yes, you’re absolute right
I love that peach color!
This is sort of random Christine but you obviously updated the mobile site because the pictures are larger and more clear. Thanks! :]
Hey Dara,
They were always that way, but iPhone 4 was not showing them properly, so we fixed that bug 🙂
just not any special color and so little amount for the money…not worth it.
This actually reminds me of MAC’s Colour Quad 4 in the Spring Colour Forecast collection!
My made my own mac 4 pan pallet last summer and put grain, paradisco, woodwinked, and satin taupe in it! Looks a lot like this palette!
I find that Lancome’s small palettes often have very similar colors! This looks eerily similar to the colors in a palette I bought for my mom for Christmas 🙁
Hi Christine, do these eyshadows fit inside of a MAC palette? And are they easily depot-able? I love this palette and I want to put more colors in my palette.
I think they are a little smaller – I have not tried to depot them before!
WOw this looks super pretty and super easy to use!!! I may consider this!
This is super cute!!!
