Bleu Electrique Nude
Estee Lauder Bleu Electrique Nude Victoria Beckham Eye Duo ($60.00 for 0.06 oz.) pairs a bright, cobalt blue with a golden brown both with more matte finishes. The problematic shade was Bleu Electrique, which proved difficult to apply, blend, and had poorer wear, but the color darkened within minutes of application to a navy blue rather than a bright cobalt, even when I tried it over primer a second time. Nude performed much better, though it did not wear as long as I would have expected.
The duo contains a bit less than the average full-sized eyeshadow (0.05 oz. and these are 0.03 oz. each), despite the compact being more substantial in size. I also had to be careful as the mirror was so heavy that the palette would not stay flat on the table unless I had the mirror angled slightly over the eyeshadow pans to keep it from tipping.

Ingredients
Limited Edition
Bleu Electrique
Bleu Electrique is a bright cobalt blue with a matte finish with strong, cool undertones. While it’s not that uncommon for more matte eyeshadows to darken a bit on the lid, especially if applied over the natural lid (and the lid is not very dry or powdered!), it can darken as a result of coming into contact with the natural oils, what is uncommon is darkening to the degree that this did–to a blackened blue–and that it did so even over primer (I was so taken aback by how dark it got on bare skin that I also tried it over Smashbox 24HR Primer to see). It applied unevenly and had noticeable patchiness as product lifted from one area when I tried to blend and even out the color. It lasted for five and a half hours before looking almost mottled on the lid.

Limited Edition
Nude
Nude is a light-medium, golden brown with warm, orange undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin and did not darken like the blue shade did. The texture was soft, thin, and blendable. It lasted for seven hours on me before fading noticeably.
