Cle de Peau 102 Calm Eye Color Duo Review, Photos, Swatches
102 Calm
Cle de Peau 102 Calm Eye Color Duo ($55.00 for 0.15 oz.) contains a medium, warm-toned pink and a light, pinky-peach. The two created a rather soft look, so I’m not sure if it will create a perfect one-and-done look for everyone, but if you like your pinks and are normally a fan of the softness of the Cle de Peau formula, you may enjoy it.
The formula is supposed to have a “silky” feel, be moisturizing on the lids (though it is a powder formula), long-wearing, and have true-to-pan color. I like the effect of Cle de Peau’s eyeshadows on the lid; I think that “moisturizing” aspect of them makes them sit well on the lid as time passes, where they meld well to bare skin. I find that they can be semi-opaque to opaque, more buildable and very easy to wear as a wash of color, if desired. The eyeshadows are rose-scented, though I only just noticed the scent with the compact open but not applied.
As a FYI, Cle de Peau sells the duos as a pan-only, which is not magnetized but you could stick a magnet to it so it would adhere to most freestyle palettes, or purchase their case for $25.

Calm (Left)
Calm (Left) is a muted, medium pink with warm undertones and a pearly shimmer-sheen finish. It had sheer, buildable coverage–up to medium–with a very silky, finely-milled consistency that was easy to blend and work with, but I suspect that the softness made it harder to build it up to more than medium coverage. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me.

Calm (Right)
Calm (Right) is a light, golden peach with warm undertones and a frosted finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation (it was so similar to my skin tone, that it almost did not seem as pigmented initially). The eyeshadow had a very smooth, silky texture that was soft without being dusty. The color stayed on well for seven and a half hours before fading on me.

This is so pretty I love the shades but the C + review was disappointing especially at this price point and then there is an extra cost for the case and I always have to purchase the case. The shades are beautiful but because of the low score I am going to skip this one.
I think for someone who prefers sheerer coverage/subtler looks, they may really enjoy the overall texture, but I think it could be more versatile!
Not a fan of the formula or the price, but I must say, it would be very hard to overdo these colors
True – they are foolproof!
Nothing like that truly pretty brown duo at all. I don’t feel like this duo has that same level of quality or beauty. Adding to that is that I don’t want to look like I’ve got conjunctivitis. And these are just that sort of pink!
Yeah, these shades won’t be for everybody since they are pinker!
Pretty colors, seems like it would need a third color to really add depth.
That would be a good call!
Very pretty, sort of ethereal this duo, I think.
I’ll pass as I think they are expensive, not easily available and I actually have dupes for the right one.
Dupes will give you the same look 😀
I like the lighter one, but I cant afford to buy this just for the one shade!!!
Definitely not worth it for just one shade!
A pretty little duo, but it’s a shame it isn’t better quality for the price.
I agree!
Well, this is sort of typical performance for the Japanese-style slurry formula of CdP eyeshadows. A light, sheer, and slightly sparklyl wash of color over the entire lid with a smidge darker shade along the crease. Couple that with the Asian preference for very light skin tones (and an absolutely flawless complexion), a ethereally light blush, perhaps a dramatic lip and eyeliner & that’s CdP’s signature look!
I’m quite light complected and enjoy wearing these sheer and subtle washes of color in the Japanese style (although I go Arabic with my lashes and liner). I think I’d love this for a simple everyday look so I’ll probably pick it up at Bangkok or Tokyo duty free the next time I fly through.
I wish Cle de Peau (at least, for the U.S.) said more about their formula – I feel like they aren’t marketed quite the same here, even though they are the same functionally!
Christine,
I’m not sure if the ‘subtle’ perfection of the Cle de Peau signature look would sell in the US. It’s pretty much the opposite of the Kim Kardashian look the US has been so obsessed with for the past 10 yrs.
The way I look at it is if someone bought it, they might be disappointed because it doesn’t make it obvious that they’re for a softer, subtler look, you know? And I do think there are people who very much prefer that look.
Christine,
I don’t really understand Cle de Peau’s marketing at all either.
A lot of these luxury Japanese & SKorean brands seem to be of the opinion that advertising somehow cheapens the product? Even when I’ve had CdP SA’s in Bangkok, Seoul, & Tokyo demonstrate products on my face they go to great lengths to describe how to use the product (which usually involves some special tools, ie brushes) but they don’t describe what the brand’s look is. The reason these Asian brands stick too the softer, subtler look is not just a matter of taste but it’s easier to apply to a hooded eye.
I’ve not tried Cle de Peau however the low rating and pigmentation cause me to pass. I have little familiarity with the Cle de Peau brand except reading reviews of the Luminizing Face Enhancer.
