By Ishita Sesha @makeupert
Hello makeupholics!Finally this is the time of the year when we eagerly wait for the new launch products from Lakme. Every season, Lakme Fashion Weekbrings a theme inspired by the international trends to the runway. This summer, the trend statement is “Illuminate”. 

The #IlluminateandShine Limited Edition Collection consists of 15 shimmer lipsticks, 3 precision eye artist liners and 2 eyeshadow palettes. I picked up a gorgeous wine lip color – Wine Gleam, metallic brown eyeliner and a Gold eyeshadow palette. Today I’ll be reviewing the Eye Shadow Palette in Gold and other reviews will be up super soon!

PackagingLakme Illuminating Eye shadow palette comes in a black cardboard outer packaging that contains all the details needed like - price, ingredients, etc. The palette contains 2 rows of eye shadows in a rectangular glossy black sturdy case with a large mirror and a not so worthy eye shadow sponge in it. The lid closes with a click and wouldn’t open up while traveling.

Texture & PigmentationThe Lakme Gold eye shadow palette has 6 shades ranging from peach, nude, olive, rust and gold to matte plumy brown that are appropriate for a day-time look. Most of the shades are good in quality – smooth and soft, but not overly buttery.  The shades have sheer to buildable pigmentation with minimal fall-outs.  For maximum color intensity, I would suggest using a damp brush to pack the color on the lids. 5 out of 6 shades have frosty/pearly finish with very subtle illuminating shimmers. However, the shimmers aren’t visible very much when the color is applied on lids.

Staying EfficacyThe eye shadows wore quite well with primer on, and one can barely notice and creasing or fading for over 4/5 hours of wear.
