Lancome Zip Me Up Eyeshadow

Lancome Zip Me Up Eyeshadow ($18.00 for 0.042 oz.) is described as a “metallic eggplant purple.” It’s part of Lancome’s permanent range of Color Design Eyeshadows (which is their individual range). Color Design Eyeshadows have varying finishes, but all of them are supposed to deliver “long-lasting, pigment-packed color [that] stays true for daylong wear.”

It’s a subtly cool-toned, medium-dark purple with a hint of burgundy-red. The color payoff is average at best but more along the lines of mediocre, because it’s patchy and uneven. The poor pigmentation is the result of a dry, stiff texture that has a slightly rough consistency. I’ve worn several of Lancome’s metallic-finished eyeshadows to test out the wear (but not this particular one), and I typically get eight hours of wear (without a primer) before there is subtle creasing.

Bare Escentuals Encore is brighter., while Milani Purr-fect Purple is slightly lighter, and theBalm All the Way Annie is more vibrant.

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Thank you! Don’t you just hate when such a lovely color doesn’t make it from the pan to your face? A lot of purples that I see are like that, I wonder why?

Too bad the texture is so bad…the color in the pan is lovely! I always think of the character Lucille Bluth from “Arrested Development” when I hear the phrase “Zip me up,” lol.

In the pan it looks a lot like Rockstar by UD. That one swatches beautifully but on my lids it seems to disappear in a few hours, even with primer.

I think you might have gotten a bad batch Christine! I picked up this shade and I LOVE it! I didn’t have any problems with pigmentation or a dry texture.
