Lancome Fashion Forward Color Design Eyeshadow ($18.00 for 0.042 oz.) is described as a “warm minted green” with a metallic finish. It looks absolutely NOTHING! like the swatch/photo of it on Lancome’s website, which makes it look more like a vibrant neon lime green. Instead, what we have is a pastel mint green with a subtle iridescent sheen. The color payoff is decent but could use a little more oomph or better binders so it would apply more opaquely. I know shades like this have to exist, but I couldn’t find anything in the Swatch Gallery; MAC Aqua was the closest, but it’s darker and more aqua, less green. It might be a little lighter than something like MAC Aquavert (which is a few years old now). Sugarpill Lumi has more of a teal iridescence.
It has a smooth texture, even though the color payoff could use a boost, so it applies well. Because it’s a little sheer and very iridescent, it could also be used as a layering shade–I bet it would be gorgeous layered over a black. Lancome’s eyeshadows are supposed to be long-wearing (without a base), and while I don’t quite achieve all-day wear, I get around eight hours with subtle creasing, but I don’t have any creasing issues if I use a base underneath.

Really not a Lancome makeup fan, for some reason. I do love Genifique serum though 🙂
i really hope your reviewing Lancome’s Spring Collection 2012. The blush is to die for!! literally.
Christine,
This is more of a layering shade, you’re totally right! Try this layered over top of a silver with black in the crease or just on top of a black liner. It’s absolutely fabulous and has now become one of my go-to shades!
It reminds me of Stila Cha Cha, except Cha Cha’s duochrome reflect is more golden.
I was thinking the same thing! <3 Cha Cha, too bad they discontinued it (and Terracotta).
MAC Warm chill is very close to this……it was released a few years back with the Cool Heat collection, which is my favoratie collection of all time!! 🙂
