Guerlain 502 COUP DE FOUDRE Écrin 4 Couleurs Swatches, Review and EOTD - Spring 2013

Tempting us for Spring 2013 Guerlain has launched two limited edition vibrant and amazing Écrin 4 Couleurs eye shadow palettes – 501 Attrape-Coeur and today’s post of 502 Coup de Foudre.

Coup de Foudre is a quad of greens and a pop of apricot. You can use the shades separately for a lovely and refined look, or amp it up by using two or more to smoke out your eye.

I love how when you look at this palette you’d never imagine that the apricot shade would even mesh well with these greens. In fact, it’s actually just what this palette ordered! These shadows applied wonderfully and were easy to work with. I experienced no fall out with any of the shades, however the deepest khaki shade on the far right was a bit patchy to apply when used dry. This one would make an excellent liner when used wet.

In this EOTD I started off using UDPP as a base. First taking the apricot shade I applied it to just the middle of the lid and the frosty apple green shade at the inner part of the lid. The outer part of the lid was the deepest khaki shade on the right side of the palette and the golden khaki shade on the left of the palette was applied to the crease and blended up. The eye liner is Make Up For Ever 5L Aqua Eyes and the mascara is Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara.
