Christian Louboutin Tape à l’Oeil Eye Colour Collection

Christian Louboutin launches Tape à l’Oeil a new eye makeup collection.

Iconic red sole designer Christian Louboutin is set to launch a new eyeshadow collection

Tape à l’Oeil meaning “eye-catching”, is the very first eye makeup collection from the creative genius.

A collection, featuring six matte and six metallic shades, the Tape à l’Oeil eyeshadow is said to be “pigment-rich, oil-based, gel-like formula that glides on smoothly like a fluid and sets to a super-fine, powdery finish. Smudge and smear resistant, the eyeshadow are applied directly from the tube, using a sleek, elongated wand, or using fingertips to dab pigment onto the lids”.

"Eyes reveal—they have a life; they carry one’s life; what has happened in your life. It is through the eyes that you see someone’s personality." – Christian Louboutin

Matte Nude Eye Colors

Designed to help recreate Christian’s favourite beauty look — bare lids defined with liner — as worn by one of his muses, Nefertiti. The sultry nude shades create a sophisticated and timeless look, perfecting the lid and magnifying its natural beauty. Apply a skin-matching shade to perfect lids, a contrasting one for brightening effect, or use as a primer and then layer with another nude or metallic eye color. The shades are named after important women in Louboutin’s life.

• Lea — cream nude
• Lola — pale pink nude
• Mariza — plum brown nude
• Zefira — deep taupe nude
• Daria — camel nude
• Louana — cognac nude

Metallic Eye Colours

Inspired by spikes, 70s style glitter tissé fabrics, and the designer’s indulgent use of strass. This range of jewel tones can be used all over lid as an eyeshadow or applied graphically to redefine the eye shape. It can also be combined with matte nudes for a frost-like effect. Each of the shades are named after semi-precious stones as it is said that Christian Louboutin is an avid gem collector.

• Morganite — rose gold
• Pyrite — bronze brown
• Carnelian — rich wine
• Andalusite — shimmering sea-green
• Iolite — iridescent blue
• Saphire Noir — golden black
