My Review

These are really nice liquid eyeshadows with great applicators that make them quite versatile. I am not entirely sure why they are named Eye-Blusher because I do feel that this texture and format is definitely better suited to eye shadow than as a blush. Having said that, I haven’t tried using one as a blush, so I will have to try that when I am not going anywhere and report back.

With the Lancome Idole Tint Liquid Eye-Blusher, I definitely think that the innovation is in the applicator which means you can use the colours as an all over shadow, and also just as easily as a more precise liner.

The shade range is really lovely. I only have two of them – 01 Sunburst and 03 Hot Lava – but they are both beautiful. They have a soft shimmer but aren’t high shine. The staying powder is really good and they are both brilliant as one and done shades, and if you want to get more graphic you can use them like liners.

Once you have applied this, make sure you work quickly if you want to blend it out because it dries pretty quickly. You don’t get a lot of playtime but this fact pays off when it comes to its long wear. Once it dries down, it doesn’t really move.

This is one layer of Hot Lava:

I blended it with a brush which does sheer it out quite a lot, as you can see. You would need to layer this up if you wanted a more opaque finish.

Alternative products

If you are looking for something with a similar but sheerer finish, and added skincare and anti-ageing benefits, then I must recommend something from my own brand, REESON. The Lid Elixir* gives a youthful glow and longwear staying power, but also offers an instant lifting effect with peptides, hydrators, skin tighteners and more. Obviously, I love it!

For me, the Lancome Idole Tint Liquid Eye-Blusher is a classic liquid eyeshadow, much like the Sisley ones that I love, but less metallic in finish. If you want to compare those, read: Sisley Ombre Éclat Liquide Review & Swatches. They are also very similar to the Armani Eye Tints.
