Estee Lauder Extravagant Gold Eyeshadow Palette Review, EOTD, Swatches

by Rati on January 17, 2011 · 106 comments

Estee Lauder Extravagant Gold Palette is part of Holiday Collection. The palette includes 5 warm colours. The shades are pale shimmery champagne eyeshadow (highlighter), yellow gold, metallic copper, metallic bronze and a matte chocolate brown colour.

The colours are buttery smooth and blend into each other like a dream.
The pigmentation of each eyeshadow is excellent.
It’s a stunning palette especially for Indian skintones and you can use these shades all your life.
Comes with a wide mirror that you can use.
The packaging is beautiful.
I noticed that the matte chocolate brown shade has a little fall out but not in any other shade.
No creasing at all and the eyeshadows stay on your lids all day long.

This is the look I have created using the palette. I have mixed black and brown eye shadows for the outer corner.

The shades I have used are marked with an arrow:

I tried using MAC Carbon for black but honestly, I am really not liking it. Rant in another post!

:woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: …your eyes looking boooooooooooooooootifuuuul..why didn’t you post the full face???????? ?:) ?:) ?:) …….. Not in a mood to flaunt? I feel this EOTD would have gone quite well with EL’s twilight petal gloss. I am louuuuuuuing both the palettes..but loouing blue dahlia more!! :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: ……

the palette is so pretty pretty…lovely colors and i think it will look great on dusky skin tones na !!! that choco blob in the centre is awesome !!! but my eye on dahlia !!!!! i will buy that for sure :jiggy1: :jiggy1: :jiggy1: :jiggy1:

Rati January 17, 2011 at 4:57 pm

if you have to buy dahlia soon. It’s a limited edition palette..i think. On estee lauder’s website this one and dahlia both show “sold out ”

and yeah the colours would look gorgeous on dusky skin tones.

oh oh !!! ok me going there soon !!!! :plane:
