The L'Oreal HIP shade is just a little bit in the contour area.Īs you can see, it's a lighter, browner, beige-ier kind of taupe, perfect for conservative offices. To contour the look a little more, I paired it with the darker shade in another eyeshadow duo I've featured before, the L'Oreal's Sassy HIP Duo. Here's an EOTD (Eye of the Day) with Storm on. Perhaps these shades are meant to be sheer for Spring/Summer.
I found this lack of pigmentation a little bit disappointing, because previously when I swatched Edward Bess's Luminious Eyeshadow range, I found the colours to be very pigmented. In other words, a light, beige-ish kind of taupe. Granted, this is a lighter colour, not so much a taupe like MAC's Satin Taupe, but more like Bourjois's Brun Nylon. The eyeshadow itself seemed surprisingly light in terms of pigmentation. Still, the packaging retained the chic black exterior, and comes in an expensive-looking box, and a luxe looking velvet pouch. And the material of the casing seemed different. And the eyeshadow pan was round, not square.
I hadn't realized that Edward Bess had changed the packaging for his Ultra Luminous Eyeshadows, but unlike the other previous eyeshadows I swatched, Storm didn't have the brand name imprinted on the eyeshadow surface. The eyeshadow packaging puzzled me a bit. The colour is neutral, and light - in fact, it's exactly the kind of eyeshadow colour you could wear to any office. Edward Bess Storm.Īlthough the colour name is Storm, Edward Bess's rendering of this colour isn't exactly stormy (lame pun, I know). Behold, everyone, the newest taupe to my already burgeoning taupe eyeshadow collection. I was positively, eagerly, holding my breath for this to come in the mail. *Rings alarm bells* TAUPE ALERT, EVERYONE! TAUPE ALERT! And it's a brand spankin' shiny new taupe to boot! Edward Bess has just released two new shades to his Ultra Luminous Eyeshadow range (just so you know, I've swatched the Edward Bess eyeshadows before), and one of them is a taupe! *Starts hyperventilating* As a taupe lover through and through, you can't imagine how excited I was.
