Chrome LE Collection - Dawn Eyes Cosmetics



Recently, I was given the opportunity to swatch and review the newest LE Collection from Dawn Eyes Cosmetics.  I really love this company.  My heart is where all the glittery goodies live, and nothing is more beautiful to me than an eye shadow full of sparkle.  The Chrome LE Collection is a set of 15 metallic shades that start out with a silver base and come to life thereafter with various shifts and color combos.  These shades are frosty and shiny, no glitter. They have excellent adhesion with or without primer.  


As you can imagine, their bold pigmentation lends them more as a full color shadow and not so much for highlights.  You can apply anything lightly to use as a highlight, but these shades are anything but sheer.  Capturing the color shifts is difficult, but I hope that you are able to get a feel for each shade with the picture along with their description.



#1 - Blue to gold to green.
#2 - Pink to Lavender to blue to green.
#3 - Green to pink to lavender.
#4 - Coral to lavender to bright green.


#5 - Lavender to pale orange to blue.
#6 - Light blue with traces of lavender.
#7 - Medium blue undertone, purple mid-tone, pink/gold overtone.
#8 - Bright pink overtone, deep fuschia undertone.


#9 Bright Copper (much more coppery than photo shows)
 with a rose overtone and a green/gold undertone.
#10 - Fawn undertone with brilliant blue/teal overtone.
#11 - Fawn undertone with brilliant green overtone.
#12 - Medium blue undertone with golden overtone.


#13 - Light blue to lavender to bright pink.
#14 - Light bright pink/lavender to copper/orange to coral.

My favorite is #12, it's a really beautiful shade of blue, not sky blue and not navy - more of a steel blue but more blue than gray.


The 15th shade was developed after the samples were sent out.  Black Chrome which is a bonus shade added to the collection.
