A few months ago, I reviewed Kanebo Coffret d’Or‘s Full Smile Eyes in 01 Apricot Beige. Today I will be focusing on 03 Bronze Brown from the same series.
Kanebo Coffret d’Or Full Smile Eyes in 03 Bronze Brown (カネボウ コフレドール フルスマイルアイズ 03 ブロンズブラウン/ 佳麗寶 金炫光燦 燦笑眼影盒 03 Bronze Brown, ¥3200) was released as part of the line’s late summer/ early fall 2014 makeup collection. It contains three off-whites, a bronze brown (with a subtle taupe-mushroom tone and pearly shimmer) and a dark brown. All the shades have multi-hued light-reflective particles, and they all have a good staying power.
The three off-whites have different purposes. The off-white on the upper right has an almost-moist texture and is designed to be used as a base. The off-white on the upper left is designed to be used as a highlighting shade for the upper eyelids. The off-white on the middle right is designed to be used as a highlighting shade for the inner 2/3 of the lower lashlines.
(See my post on 01 Apricot Beige for the step-by-step application instructions from Coffret d’Or’s official website.)
As with 01 Apricot Beige, none of the shades is too sparkly. Also, my comments on the three off-whites are essentially the same as those on the two off-whites and the light peach in 01 Apricot Beige.
The bronze brown is darker and more pigmented than the brown beige in 01 Apricot Beige, and it is also more gold-toned and bronze-toned. It works much better for me as a shadowing shade in terms of both color tone and color depth. (I can probably do without the subtle taupe-mushroom tone, but I am being a little picky here.)
The dark brown is marginally darker than the dark brown in 01 Apricot Beige. I would still prefer it to be a little darker, but it works well for me as an eyelining shade when applied fairly heavy-handedly.
Overall I like this palette and I prefer it to 01 Apricot Beige. It is less warm-toned than 01 Apricot Beige but it is certainly still on the warm side. It creates sufficient depth and dimension for the eyes, and the colors are sufficiently warm-toned for me. Whereas 01 Apricot Beige is lighter, fresher and more spring-like, 03 Bronze Brown is more low-key and sensual and has an autumnal feel.
