I’ve never been one to like a baked shadow… so I tend to stay away from the domed releases, no matter how beautiful they are. Until now. Laura Mercier Petite Baked Eyecolor Bonbons (shown below in Bronze) have become part of my go-to eye look (see EOTD at the bottom) every day for the last week. I actually get sad when I have to wear something else for testing and review purposes. The Bonbons are also available in Amethyst and Emerald (yes, I’ve already purchased the Emerald!).
What Nordstrom says about Laura Mercier Petite Baked Eyecolor Bonbons:
Dress up your holiday season with Laura Mercier Petite Baked Eyecolor Bonbons, a trio of multi-finish eyeshadows tucked into a petite, portable palette.
How to use: For an even wash of color, apply dry. For a more vibrant shimmer, simply dampen your brush with water and apply wet.

The Bronze trio contains a nude satin, a duochrome bronze/green and a chocolate bronze pearl. Quite beautiful to look at!
Clearly these shadows are much more intense when used wet, but I was still impressed with the pigment when I used them dry (see below). The shades were all smooth and easy to blend. I did have a slight amount of fall-out with the deepest shade, so be aware of that and maybe do your eye makeup before you start with your face. When used over an eyeshadow primer, this trio lasted the day on my lids without fading or creasing.
The packaging is a rather petite, plastic mirrored compact that is extremely portable and easy to store.
In the EOTD below I used MAC Utterly Becoming Pro Longwear Paint Pot as a base and did the liner first, which is MAC Past Twilight Fluidline. I applied the chocolate bronze shade all over the lid (including over the Fluidline) and through the crease. The middle duochome shade is in the crease, blended up. The nude shade was used at the inner corners and to blend out the crease. The mascara is MAC In Extreme Dimension Lash.
The Laura Mercier Petite Baked Eyecolor Bonbons retail for $25.00 and can be purchased at Sephora, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s and lauramercier.com.
looks like real chocolate, mmm.
What a lovely collection, I loved the look it gave to your lids when applied, very fall.

My experience with baked shadows is pretty much the same, color payoff is better when applied wet. Laura Mercier’s baked eyeshadows are not the best out there, I mean they’re pretty decent but fallouts seem to be a common issue.

These look gorge applied wet, especially the bronze type shade in the middle. They look nice dry too but they really come to life in the wet swatches!

thank you!
I also usually stay away from baked eyeshadows because I can never get great pigment out of them. These look pretty good wet though!

Absolutely stunning. I always am drawn to baked shadows, even though I haven’t had great experiences with them in the past. Something about the way they look is just enticing to me

They’re definitely always pretty to look at 😉
I am not usually a huge fan of baked shadows, they are too inconsistent, fallout-y and patchy. These look really nice, tho. The colours in this trio are in my wheelhouse and they look smashing on you. 🙂

Thank you!! <3 I'm the same way with the baked shadows! I was so pleasantly surprised!
I think that middle shade looks beautiful wet! Great eye look as always! Xo
