Of this bunch, the Graphic Sculpt liner is warmer (yellower) in tone, with finely-milled gold shimmer adding complexity and depth to the overall effect. It’s drier than most (this is not the same formula as the Sephora Collection jumbo liners) and blends easily (maybe too easily I’d recommend using a fluffy brush instead of your fingers), with a resulting sheerness not usually found in cream eye products nowadays. Lastly, we have the Graphic Sculpt Waterproof Jumbo Liner, which (despite its mouthful of a name) is basically just a jumbo eye pencil. Graphic Sculpt Waterproof Jumbo Liner Sephora + Pantone Universe Graphic Sculpt Waterproof Jumbo Liner ($20 CAD) Sure, it blends like a charm–the swatch in this post is very heavy–but… what’s the point of a green shadow that blends out to nothing more than a whisper? A nice brown or beige, I can see, but green?Īdmittedly, this makes an okay base for something like the Lightspeed Glitter Dust, but it leaves me with significant creasing and lids that look like they’ve been bruised. Maybe it’s just my lids, but I cannot stand the super-slippery feel of this shadow. I’ll be honest, here: I have no idea what a product like this is doing in a Sephora collection.

Basically, it’s everything the Color Code Prismatic Shadow (below) hopes to someday be.Ĭolor Code Prismatic Shadow Sephora + Pantone Universe Color Code Prismatic Shadow ($26 CAD) The smooth, light texture of this Color Cube “stain” blends out easily as a wash of green with finely-milled shimmer, but works as a seriously stunning metallic emerald liner, too. May I please introduce you to the Sephora + Pantone Universe 2013 cream of the crop? The Lid Liner Stain (which, despite its name, absolutely does not stain) is gorgeous - a well-pigmented shimmery-or-metallic emerald, it makes me think of all the best parts of the Emerald City.

Like any glitter dust, this really needs a base to stick to, so be sure to have one on hand! On completely dry skin, it comes right off, but on primed or even just freshly-moisturized skin, it adheres like a charm. The green base is very sheer, and the plentiful sky blue shimmer really predominates, giving it an almost turquoise tone overall. On the polar opposite end of the spectrum is the Lightspeed Glitter Dust, which is dry, loose, and milled just large enough to stay on this side of shimmery. Lightspeed Glitter Dust Sephora + Pantone Universe Lightspeed Glitter Dust ($17 CAD) The stain can be avoided if you carefully remove your mascara with an oil-based or micellar remover on a cotton pad, rubbing down the lash against a halved cotton pad covering your undereye area, but it’s a hell of a hassle for a single effective-but-kitschy product. It sits in tiny, dry clumps on the lashes, adding neither length nor noticeable volume, and stains for days if it touches the skin. There’s a lash photo of this at the end of the post, but in a nutshell: yes, it absolutely does show up, but the gorgeous green pigment is its downfall, too. Dry, matte, and intensely pigmented, the Color Watt mascara really does show up green on the lashes - even short, dark, sparse lashes like my own. The product: SEPHORA + PANTONE UNIVERSE Color of the Year 2013, Emerald (assorted products)Ĭolor Watt Highlighting Mascara Sephora + Pantone Universe Color Watt Highlighting Mascara ($22 CAD)įunnily enough, I thought this was the best and worst-performing product in this year’s Color of the Year collection. Click here or scroll past all the pretty pictures for a two-sentence rundown of each product. With the weather finally warming up & the sun coming out from behind the clouds, 2013’s vibrant collection of Emerald products is (finally!) in-season and on-trend. Perfect for creating a summer smokey eye, or adding just a touch of bright green, now is the perfect time to pick up a couple bold green products to add to your summer makeup kit.īlogger’s note: so, this post ended up at around a thousand words. This year’s Sephora + Pantone Universe Color of the Year collection has been out for a few months (since March), but I haven’t really been “feeling it” - until now, that is.
