You Don’t have to Be a Nimbus to wear the Guerlain Les Tendres Écrin 4 Couleurs Eyeshadow palette in Les Nuées

wearing the new $65 Guerlain Les Tendres Écrin 4 Couleurs Eyeshadow palette in Les Nuées
“En Français,” as my high school French teacher used to say! The name of Guerlain’s new spring eyeshadow palette, Les Nuées, implies “The Clouds,” and when I wear it I feel like I’m floating in a blue sky surrounded by puffs of white cotton candy clouds…

The new Guerlain Les Tendres Écrin 4 Couleurs Eyeshadow palette in Les Nuées, $65
Les Nuées is what I like to call a “glisten-y” eye palette, because when I buff any of the three lightest shades — the frosty white, the pale pink or the baby blue, which, truth be told, all look pretty similar on my NC42 skin — on my lids with a fluffy eye brush, I end up with glowing, practically glossy, lids.

Then I line my lash lines with the fourth shade, a deep blue, and pat it in the outer corner for depth before cleaning up any fallout (because there is a little) and finishing with mascara.

It’s kinda hard to think of clouds as anything but effortless, and Les Nuées is effortless, too. It’s an easy way to wear fresh spring blues without having to work too hard.
