Something caught my eye in the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Collection

February 25, 2010 Paris B 27 Comments

Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Collection Summer 2010

Estee Lauder does a Bronze collection every Summer. I’m not going to bore you with news on summer releases so early in the year because you would only expect them on the shelves earliest in May 2010. No point telling you about something now only to have you forget it in May right? 😉

Anyway, the reason you are reading about the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddeess collection is because I was a little taken aback when I looked at the promotional picture I received in an email. Did anything untoward catch your eye?

Well, it caught mine.

The eye makeup.

I love the teal colour of the new Liquid Eyeshadow in Aqua Flash (US$17.50). But do you notice that it isn’t blended much? Look a little closer below.

It seems to break every cardinal rule in eye makeup i.e. blend your makeup to prevent harsh lines. Teal is not an easy colour to work with on the eyes and personally, I felt that the colour unblended, looks a bit harsh on the model and on very tanned skin. Blended, it would look amazing.

The Exotic Bronzing Blush ($35) looks good though. As befitting the year of the Tiger, it comes striped with bronze and pink – I’d like to check this one out 🙂

So, what d’ya think about the teal on the eyes. Did you find it too harsh or did you think it looked great as is? 🙂 You can see the rest of the collection online.

    I am new-ish to makeup so teal would be a color that might prove a challenge, hahaha. But its very pretty indeed!!!

      I don’t recommend Teal for eye makeup newbies to be honest. Gotta take it a step at a time and Teal is right there at the end! LOL… Speaking from personal experience of course. I dived straight in and used to look horrendous for a while 😛

    Individually the colours are all really pretty. But WHY are blue eyeshadow and oranage lips back? WHYYYY? It’s as bad as hammerpants!

      Amen! From someone who actually remembers hammerpants on the original individual >.<

    I love teals and that shade is gorgeous! I agree with you though, it should have been blended more. It looks a bit too harsh like that.

      I guess that was the impact EL is going for – not a look I’d do though 🙂

    Actually, I think unblended on this model is rather cool. Gives an edge to this collection. Her face and features are angular, lips neat, jaws strong. Why not a sharp eyeshadow?

    Perhaps a blended look would not be that attention grabing.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You’re right – it works on the model. On me I’d look like a bad throwback to the 80’s when unblended blue eyeshadow was all the rage 😀

        Oh yeah, doesn’t work for everybody. I probably would look like I’m in the wayang show if I do that.

      I love teal on the eyes – I wear it a lot! Haha… It does draw attention to the eyes which is great fun though perhaps not for everyday eh? 😉

    LOVE THAT COLOR! I have a huge weakness for teal. Might just try the look out but of course, with better blending.

    Am I the only one loving the the eye makeup application on the model here? Granted, it’s certainly not something for every day wear …. but I think it’s gorgeous for an ad campaign and would certainly not be out of place at all on the runway. It really makes the model’s eyes pop and I can’t help staring at it! I can’t wait to get my hands on it! In fact, I agree with the above comment … the entire collection looks fabulous!

    The colour is definitely eye-catching! But you are right, it should be better if blended properly. I have not checked out EL for ages and it looks like they have been coming out with many interesting products.

    I love how it looks on the model, stunning is the word. I do not know how well would look on me 🙂 but all in all this collection looks great. Blended I am not sure it will look that well.

      I guess I’m a little too critical because I was a child of the 80’s and I remember all too well the blue eyeshadow unblended to the brows LOL…

    Excuse me for butting in but….the hammerpants is back. 3/4 ones. On women. I saw 3 instances in my campus and frankly speaking, they look horrendous (the pants, not the ladies!).

    Wow, a blue liquid eyeliner for less than $18? That’s like a dream come true!

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.

I put on a full face of makeup today and when it came to my eyeshadow, I had a brain fart moment and forgot where they were! 😂 Looked through 3 drawers before I saw them and even then I thought “Did I ever have THIS MANY?!” I guess I do. And before you ask, yes they’re all expired 🫢
