Estee Lauder Indigo Night Pure Color Envy Eyeshadow Quad Review & Swatches

Estee Lauder Indigo Night Pure Color Envy Luxe Eyeshadow Quad (Refill) ($44.00 for 0.21 oz.) is another dismal entry from Estee Lauder in the name of eyeshadow–dry, powdery, thin, prone to fallout, and poor wearing. There were no redeeming points here! Indigo Night #1 is a rich, cobalt blue with strong, cool undertones and large flecks of lighter blue sparkle. Opaque coverage More loosely-pressed, dry, textured, somewhat powdery Applied somewhat unevenly, prone to fallout Shorter-wearing (6 hours before fading) Indigo Night #2 is a light-medium peach with strong, warm yellow undertones and a matte finish. Semi-opaque coverage Finely-milled but moderately Continue Reading…
