Ever since my first encounter with Le Metier de Beaute Anamorphic Lash Mascara I became a believer. Reluctant at first, I discovered that Le Metier makes the most perfect grownup looking colored mascara: just a hint of color in a blackened base that never looks ridiculous, but still gives a hint of extra color. Le Metier de Beaute Anamorphic Lash Mascara is a sophisticated product that complements their eye looks to perfection. To give you an idea, I'm on my second tube of Jade and third tube of Midnight.
My current love is Aubergine. It's a hint of dark purple in Le Metier's smooth and glossy base. The mascara itself is not dramatic, but it gives my lashes an even coat and a little bit of extra length. I find that it doesn't flake or smudge, dries quickly and never hurts my eyes when I remove it (Bioderma is my friend). LMdB Anamorphic Lash mascara is not meant for a bright pop of color or for a doll eye effect. Yes, you can pile it on, but the whole point of this product is subtlety.
Bottom Line: another winner.
Le Metier de Beaute Anamorphic Lash Mascara ($34) is available from Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, select Nordstrom locations and also online. A press sample was sent for my consideration and review.
Green eyed ladies, Aubergine is for you especially if your eyes are a dark, warm shade. I have dark moss green eyes with black lashes and this mascara adds a bit of oomph to their color without being obvious. We all know opposites on the color wheel make things pop, but obviously we're not going to reach for red mascara--at least I hope not! LOL Shades of blackened burgundy, aubergine, cassis, etc. are another matter entirely, though. If you've been reluctant or scared to try one, give Aubergine a go. It's very subtle and wont't frighten the children :-)
ReplyDeleteEileen, as always, you're spot on. This color will look amazing (and probably more purple) against pale skin and green eyes.
ReplyDeleteOn the likes of me it simply blends in well with the rest of my makeup and adds depth that black can't give.
