Eggplant Dream
Estée Lauder Aubergine Dream Pure Color Envy Luxe Eyeshadow Quad (Refill) ($44.00 for 0.21 ounces) includes two matte shadows and two shimmery shadows, but they were all underwhelming in quality – surprisingly powdery, prone to fallout, and seemed to fade faster than most powder shadows, that I have experienced. I don’t know how they messed up the pink coral hue so much!

Eggplant dream #1
Eggplant dream #1 is a light to medium mauve with warmer, tan undertones and a sparkling finish.
- Semi-opaque coverage
- Rather loosely pressed, somewhat powdery
- Slightly unevenly applied, prone to fallout
- Shorter wear (6 hours before fading)
CONTINUE READING: Formula overview for details on overall performance and properties (such as fragrance).
formula overview
–
The formula is said to be “highly pigmented” with “true color” that won’t smudge, wrinkle or settle into fine lines, and won’t “flake or dust on the face.” The quality of the more matte shades was typically higher than the shimmer shades, but all of the finishes seemed particularly short-lived and made it look like my lids “ate” the shadows pretty quickly.
Some of the shimmers were drier and thinner, resulting in uneven application and some fallout, especially on the more glittery shades. The matte eyeshadows were, on average, more pigmented and smoother, but still on the thinner side with slight to moderate powderiness that caused light to bleed and/or the color to bleed out too quickly on bare skin.
