Estée Lauder has introduced a new creme eyeshadow product called Pure Color Stay-on Shadow Paints. These shadows made their first appearance at the Derek Lam Spring 2013 runway show. I’ve been dying to get them in my hands and try them. Read on for more…
It’s tempting to think that if you’ve seen one creme eyeshadow you’ve seen them all, but Pure Color Stay-on Shadow Paints offer some differences. The first time I felt this eyeshadow, I noticed the mousse texture; light and soft. So light, that I doubted I would get good wear, but that was not the case at all.
The technology used in creating Pure Color Stay-on Shadow Paints is called True Vision™ Technology. Basically it’s a hybrid of pigment-like intensity with a light-reflecting quality. These shadows offer great color payoff and easy blendability in a long wear formula.
I tried several shades alone and together and didn’t experience creasing (used with or without an eye shadow primer) or color fading. Once the shadow is on, it’s on and not going anywhere. To apply, you can use your fingers or a concealer brush works well, too. Removal is best with a liquid eye makeup remover (I prefer oil-based). The colors swatched above are (from left to right) Extreme Emerald, Neon Fuchsia, Chained and Halo. To get the depth of color in the swatch took building of several layers; the effect is really quite sheer and transparent otherwise.
Estée Lauder Pure Color Stay-on Shadow Paints come in 9 shades and retail at $24 each. You can find them at Estée Lauder counters, Saks.com and EstéeLauder.com. If you like the portability, versatility and texture of a long wear creme eyeshadow, give these a try!

The texture seems really “fluffy” . Kinda like the Chanel ones. I’ll have to try them out. Thanks!!
I’ve not tried this but they look like the Maybelline Color Tattoos or MAC Paint Pots right off the bat.
I have MAC Paint Pots & Maybelline Color Tattoo shadows, too and the main differences between this brand & those are texture ( EL is a mousse) and transparency. Hope that helps!
I need these. And I haven’t said that about an Estée Lauder product since their Purple Reign collection some 25 years ago!!!!!!
@Marie You need to ck them out! Since Tom Pecheaux took over as Creative Director a couple yrs ago he’s turned the line upside down. This is not your morher’s Lauder!
