For Fall 2011, Lise Watier released this beautiful limited edition Wet & Dry Eyeshadow Quad in Équinoxe ($35), which is also the name of the collection.  The inspiration comes from the colours of nature — the earth and sky — in September.  The greys, muted blues, and chocolate browns make up a romantic colour palette that is captured perfectly in this eyeshadow quad.

The palette contains a muted denim blue, medium grey, icy white, and a deep chocolate brown.  When applied dry, all the eyeshadows have tiny, barely there sparkles, which keeps the eyeshadows from being chalky.  These eyeshadows are silky smooth; there isn’t a single dud in the group.  In a pinch, dark haired ladies can even wear the chocolate brown as a brow powder; just apply lightly!

But Wait… There’s More!

(Cue infomercial voice.)

When you buy the Équinoxe Quatuor Wet & Dry Eyeshadows, Lise Watier will also throw in Mini Métamorfix Liquid Transformer absolutely free.

The Métamorfix Liquid Transformer lets you apply the eyeshadows wet, resulting in a more vibrant colour and sparkle.  Don’t believe me?  Check out the dry and wet swatches of these eyeshadows.  The wet swatches were done as follows:

1. Swipe the eyeshadow pan with a dry finger, dip it in one drop of Métamorfix, then swatch it.  This creates a sheer-ish base.
2. While the base is still damp, go over it with another dry swipe of eyeshadow.
3. Watch it sparkle.

With the Équinoxe quad and Métamorfix, it’s like you’re getting 4 eyeshadows and 4 sparkly, long-wearing cream eyeshadows or liquid eyeliners.  This thing is never ever leaving my makeup bag.  You need this!  I give it a spot on my holy grail.  Stay tuned for a look I wore using these eyeshadows.

The Lise Watier Équinoxe collection is available now until October 2011.
