Kjaer Weis Blue Wonder Eye Shadow

This is another review that writes itself. Or the photos of the incredible colors do. I'm a sucker for good blue eye shadows, and as far as I'm concerned few colors are prettier than Blue Wonder by Kjaer Weis. It's a rich medium-dark blue with maybe a hint of gray. It's a complex and sophisticated color that enhances the eyes (couldn't be more perfect for brown eyes) and works with the skin. I know that a blue eye shadow is not necessarily "natural", but the way Blue Wonder interacts with the warm undertones is, well, kind of a wonder.

If you're already familiar with Kjaer Weiss eye shadows you know that the texture is superb, easy to blend and melds with the kin beautifully. The finish is satiny with a touch of delicate barely there shimmer (never shiny or garish), and it lasts all day over a primer. The brilliant Kirsten Kjaer Weis who is the makeup artist behind the line recommends pairing Blue Wonder with her Divine and Cloud Nine for a colorful smoky eye. I don't have the latter, but I can tell you that it's an excellent shot of color when using neutrals from Edward Bess or Laura Mercier.

Bottom Line: true love.

Kjaer Weis Blue Wonder Eye Shadow is available from kjaerweis.com. You can get it in the gorgeous full packaging ($44) or just the refill ($22), as I did, and place it in a free form palette (I use Z-palettes).
