What They Say: "Experience the look, the feel, the beauty of azurée, Summer 2006, from the Tom Ford Estée Lauder Collection. Three color palettes--azurée, st. tropée and cap bronzée. Three mysterious places that epitomize the legends of the beach. Create your look with the shades from one palette and the universal must-haves that work with all 3 palettes. Tom Ford on the azurée makeup collection: "This is a collection for the woman whose fantasy takes her away to sexy, remote beaches."

Sweep on a lighter shade over entire eyelid. Use the deeper shade on the outer edge of eye. Smooth on sparingly and blend."

Jen's Experience:The shades in the Azuree eye palette are very similar to the Laura Mercier shades I bought a few months back. But like all the Azuree shades, they're designed for someone with naturally warm skin tones or a really nice tan. This isn't to say I haven't been wearing these shadows constantly since I got them. I like the lightly shimmery color. They go on so smoothly. They feel like they're full of moisture, which means they're also really easy to blend. I found that I especially liked the darker brown color as an eyeliner when slightly moistened and applied with a thin brush. Since they're vry moisture rich, they fade a litle more quickly than some other eyeshadows I have, but you can definitely extend the wear by pressing the color with a bit of transparent powder. If you're getting the other Azuree color products, I highly recommend picking up the eyeshadow as well to round out your collection.
