Tape à L'oeil Metallic Eye Colour Collection In Saphire Noir

Christian Louboutin expands his opus of Eye Amplifiers, introducing Tape à l'Oeil Eye Colour collection. Enthused by and named after women who turn heads, this pigment-rich Eye Colour range is striking in tone and finish. The collection is designed to stun. "Tape à l'oeil means eye-catching. It is a woman who exposes her femininity so that no one can miss her," describes the designer. Christian Louboutin's Eye Colours enable a woman to enhance her eyes with a variety of looks to reveal or conceal her attitudes and intentions. The Maison introduces Eye Colour in two statement-making finishes – matte nude and metallic. Both collections launch in six shades for a total of twelve eye colours. "To me, eye colour is parure pour les yeux. It is jewelry for the eyes," says Christian. A woman can darken, lighten, perfect or embellish her gaze with a brush stroke of shadow on lids. She is the author of her own story." The unveiling of Eye Colour enriches the designer's Eye Amplifiers collection, enabling women to create a complete Christian Louboutin eye look. Adorn lids with new Tape à L'Oeil Eye Colour, define or contour eyes with Oeil Velours and Oeil Vinyle, coat lashes in Les Yeux Noirs, and perfect brows with Brow Definer. The formulas are encased in a clear vial adorned with a gold fluted shell that references Byzantine and Art Déco motifs, two époques that Christian often revisits in his work. This objet d'art is topped with a slender weighted cap that is reminiscent of Christian's iconic Nail Colour design. Similar to a calligraphy brush, the cap rests comfortably in the hand, ensuring a controlled and precise application experience. Its innovative, short and dense bristle brush allows for optimal product pick-up, precise placement, and optimal painting and blending of the formula for the most artistic expression. Metallic Eye ColourFond of shimmering embellishments—from metallic spikes to 70s style glitter tissé fabrics tohis indulgent use of strass – Christian was inspired to launch highly-reflective eye colours. Each shadow beautifully plays with light for an intense sparkle finish. Christian likens the playfulness of this formula to the energy and movement of the sun. The Metallic Eye Colour collection is available in a range of jewel tones from rose gold to iridescent blue. The formula is a unique fusion of water and metallic pigments, which combine to create a mirror-like brilliance. Its lightweight and fluid texture applies smoothly and enables easily buildable coverage. It adheres extremely well to lids and is long-lasting—smudging or creasing—yet is easy to blend and remove. How To Apply: Metallic Eye Colour can be used all-over lid as eye shadow or applied graphically to redefine the eye shape. It can also be layered on top of Matte Nude Eye Colour for a frosted effect. Shades: When it came time to naming the shades, Christian was inspired by semi-precious jewels. He is an avid collector of gems, showcasing them in his boutiques and homes around the world.
