Estee Lauder Pure Colour Eyeshadow in Candy Cube

This was one of the products a few years ago for my matric farewell makeup. I still have this eyeshadow and I usually use it as a blending colour because the colour is very sheer. I know pink eyeshadows are one of the most tricky colours to make with enough pigmentation to not make you look like you have pink eyes, but this colour is very sheer and doesn't show up evidently even with a primer. The eyeshadow however, is very smooth and the amount of shadow they give you will last you a very long time.

I like the packaging of this product alot, it's unique but its not really travel-friendly since you'll have a carry other shadows around to balance the pink shadow.

This shadow comes in a gorgeous see through cube that gives you and idea of the color without looking inside which is very useful. It has a tiny little mirror that enhances the packaging but in my opinion its way too small to do eye makeup with. The color is light pink with purple/lavender undertones. The finish is satin, not really shimmer. I have used light pinks before and they often apply almost white on the lid. This one however maintains a vibrant pink hue to it. It looks great on its own to brighten the eye and is gorgeous paired with brown colors in the crease. My only con is that it kind of applies as a sheer layer. Even with an eye primer (MAC paint pot) I can still see my skin shining through...

This cube seems small but if you look at the net weight, it is 1.7 grams which is more than MAC shadows which contain 1.5 grams of product. It will last you quite a while. I have been using eye shadows for a long time and haven't yet reached pan on any of them so its a good investment if you like the color.
