Cle de Peau Silver Eclipse (306) Eye Color Quad
Cle de Peau Silver Eclipse (306) Eye Color Quad ($55.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a set of peach, plum, silver, and black. It reminded me of New Year’s Eve for some reason (maybe it’s the mixture of black and silver with an overall metallic sheen). I think the colors work really well together, but I wasn’t as impressed with the pigmentation or the texture of two of the shades. At this price point, I would expect perfection, particularly with respect to being soft, smooth, and blendable. It did apply better than I think it swatched, which was a nice surprise, but it could have been better. (Note, the price is for just the pan of four shades, if you want the official compact to house them, that will run you an additional $25. I keep all of mine in a Z-palette.)
Silver Eclipse #1 is a brightened, pink-peach with a metallic sheen. It had semi-opaque color payoff that was buildable to fully opaque color with two layers. The texture was soft, finely-milled, and easily blended on the skin. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Silver Eclipse #2 is a muted, plummy mauve with very subtle warm undertones and a frost finish. It had very nice pigmentation with a silky-smooth consistency that was a cinch to work with. The color didn’t start to fade until after eight hours of wear. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Silver Eclipse #3 is a light-medium, silvery gray with chunky silver sparkle. The consistency was more crumbly–too soft in a way–and had a chunkiness to it that made it hard to apply evenly. It didn’t stick well to the skin, and even patted on top of primer, it wasn’t great (I think it needs a tackier base so it adheres better). I had a fair amount of fall out during application, but there was only minor fall out after that. It lasted for almost eight hours. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Silver Eclipse #4 is a dark black with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had so-so color payoff and was drier in consistency, which made it more difficult to blend out–and blendability is so important when you have deeper shades like this! It wore well for seven and a half hours on me. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Love the colors and this is a palette I might have considered– but where is the quality? Definite pass.
I wish it was better!
Too bad, it’s so pretty in the pan, and the packaging is so elegant. Since this is $ 80 for the shadows and the compact, might as well go for Tom Ford at this price point.
That’s definitely an alternative! 🙂
Hmmmmm, I’m not blow away by this. The second color looks gorgeous though.
The first two shades were better performers!
#2 is a gorgeous shade! I love the liner you paired this look with. Beautiful!
Thanks, Brooke 🙂
I have one of them. No where like the originals at all.
Do you like the one you have at all or not at all?
I have #308. You reviewed it awhile ago.
It is ok. Not great. Feel it is dry.
The originals were buttery and lasted all day without primer.
Then it went 3x the cost.
I don’t like these quads because they all look similar.
The originals you buy in singles and can put in a pair or in six. Lots of variation and applied nicely. I bought 5 of this one color when it discontinued.
I really like the look of the colors in the pan, but I’d never use that glittery shade. At a price point like this, I should at least plan on using more than 75% of a product before I go to buy it, lol. 🙂
lol, yes, I think you should love all four shades at this price!
I swatched some cle de peau stuff and love their textures, but I agree, this should be near perfect for the price.
They do have really, really soft/finely-milled powders most of the time!
Love the colours and the eye look you did Christine – but it is a shame when the quality does not deliver for the price.
The color story is great. I’d buy it in a heartbeat if the quality was better.
#1 and #2 are extremely beautiful shades.. but rest were quite a disappointment!!..
I like their luminizers a lott.. so this eye shadow palette is definitely skippable.. 😛 ..
These colors are dupable so I’m not impressed with the quality of this palette. Or the fact that it’s so expensive
Star gazer 2 is so beautiful…and none of the dupes measure up IMO.
Oops not star gazer.
