Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Colour Eye Shadows: Photos & Review

Elizabeth Arden’s line of Beautiful Colour Eye Shadow Singles and Duos have been designed for women of ANY age, but are especially advantageous to women with obvious signs of aging around the eye area.

“The innovative formula coats the eyelids with a silky silicone while Vitamin A derivative Retinyl Linoleate boosts collagen production to minimize wrinkles….added to that anti-oxidants Vitamin C & E counteract free radicals and protect skin from environmental damage”. 


The shadows, with saturated pigments, deliver long-lasting smooth results, giving eyes a sultry look while helping diminish wrinkles. Packaged in a gorgeous, sleek gold & silver compact with a mirror and sponge tip applicator, each shadow has the iconic Elizabeth Arden Red Door embossed on the front for a sophisticated look and feel.

Beautiful Color Eye Shadow Singles

There are 32 single ($18.50 US/$24 Cdn) and 7 duo ($28.50 US/$32 Cdn) shades to choose from, with a great variety of both matte and pearl finish options. Available at all Elizabeth Arden counters or online here

When applied, these shadows were buildable and provided strong colour saturation and excellent pigmentation. I used an eye shadow primer before applying the above shades to my eye lid, crease and brow bone but was still pretty impressed with their extended wear. There was no obnoxious fallout or creasing. I didn’t notice a difference or reduction in the fine lines around my eyes but this was to be expected since those benefits are long-term and I have only been using these for a weeks now. The colours are gorgeous and so luxurious!!  The quality of these shadows is so luxurious and help to justify their price.
What do you think of these shadows?
