I would call this color a bronzed sunset loaded with gold and copper shimmer. It would make a lovely lip color for the fall on the right skin tone. I am too fair skinned and cool toned to pull this off.

I received this as part of a free gift. I don't like this lipstick very much, so I will try to make this review concise.

The good: quality of the lipstick, excellent packaging, comfortable texture despite the large glittering particles. The base color is also a nice peachy tone, what little you can see of it that is.

The bad: the glitter. This is not a lipstick with a subtle glean or shimmer. The finish is frosty, extremely light reflective, and the glitter - yes glitter - particles are HUGE. When I tried to wipe this lipstick off and then rinsed my mouth with water, I ended up with a very noticable "glitter beard" all around my mouth and chin as well as my fingers and obviously, lips. This was after an application of one swipe on the upper and lower lips. Apart from the glitter and the incredible glitter "fallout," I personally found the fragrance of the lipstick to be very strong, persistent and unpleasant in the sense that it smelled like chemicals trying to pass as florals. This would normally not bother me in a lipstick, except that the smell did NOT fade after a minute or two. To be fair I find this scent problem in most Estee Lauder lipsticks as well, not just "Tiger Eye."

I can say nothing about the wear of this lipstick because I simply couldn't keep it on my lips long enough to give it a trial run. If you are a fan of peachy lipsticks with a very frosty finish, and young enough to wear glitter lipstick, AND you don't do things like wipe your lipstick off before drinking from a glass or eating your lunch, you may like this. As I said, the colour is not terrible at all, a nice neutral for fall. Also for having so much overwhelming glitter in it, the texture is amazingly smooth (for a glitter lipstick. It still won't stand against creamy and moisturizing finish lipsticks). For those reasons one extra lip. But definitely not for someone of my age, olfactory sense or lipstick wearing practices. If you do wear this especially in a professional environment, you really have to watch out for fallout if your lipstick smears; I imagine the glitter would easily transfer to dark clothing as well.

Can you say GORGEOUS fall lips? This is a sparkly, bronzy, peachy shade, actually hard to describe as it changes when the sun hits it, almost like a prism effect.

Yes this lipstick is very glittery and sparkly which I love.

Try it with a plum or mauve liner, it totally changes the color, simply stunning!

I received this product as a gift with purchase. This product, Tiger Eye Shimmer, would have looked nice on me 30 years ago. Unfortunately, the amount of shimmer (OK, I wouldn't classify it as a shimmer-it's just pure sparkly, big glitter, overload) is not at all complementary to my middle-age lips. This product will be nice to set aside for my nieces to play around with when they visit, or to use on Halloween. Ugh!!!

I got a full size tube of this as a gift with purchase. Actually I got two tubes because I managed to score another gift with purchase on a second purchase. So I have a lot of Tiger Eye lipstick lol! This color is not bad once you get past the shimmer. (Did I mention the SHIMMER? Yep, guess I did.) I really wish I liked this color more. Too light for me, and yes SHIMMER. Good thing it was free. The formula isn't bad-just totally the wrong color and yes, the SHIMMER. If you like nudey beigey shimmery lipsticks-this is definitely for you. Just not for me.

I really like this color. I apply one coat of it and add a soft lip gloss and I'm good to go for the day. It lasts on my lips for about 4 hours, which is pretty decent since I drink water like a fish. I'm on my second tube of it and I have to say I really enjoy this color.

Love this shade. It is a beautiful warm toned light brown (or more of a coral, on my skin tone) with a gorgeous shimmery finish which I have been loving lately as it really seems to define and plump one's lips. As for the formula, it is quite rich and comfortable feeling (although there are better lipsticks, if one wants intense moisturising) and has a good staying power. Definitely going to be a new favourite of mine! But it is shimmery, so if you do not like shimmer, I wouldn't get this one...but if you love some shimmer you will love this lipstick.

I only like the red one with the gold ripply cap I have at home in my makeupcollectiona long with many other expensive brands and stuff........... It looks professional. I don't really like Estee Lauder and it is a creepy name. She is a creepy looking woman, and she started out these cool makup brands except for her own. She looks like mean person, so should I wear makeup that makes me look mean, like those sq1uare bulky black glasses make Sarah Palin looooook mea, should I wear it so it makes me look mean, jk

edit: tried the regular version - blue tube - vs the LE BRONZE GODDESS one i reviewed below. regular one is amazing; LE one is horrible. dunno why this is
===

This works on top of my mac fluid very well. Alone, it looks good too, but doesn't last. Also, colour payoff is pathetic. I've had far superior ds lippies.
Texture: gritty, thickly embedded with chunky particles of glitter.
Wear: poor, does not last long.
Finish: sheer, glossy, with aforementioned chunks of glitter.
Repurchase/recommend: nopes to both
I can make it work, so three stars for that. since someone gave it as part of my bday gift, i can't return it. But it's not bad, just underwhelming.
Oh, and let me mention the worst part before i forget: packaging. It LOOKS good but the lipstick part fell out of the gold part and i had to put it back in!!! It no longer winds up/down, and all round PITA. I just saw guerlainAD's review: EXACT same thing happened to me.

I received this in an Estee Lauder gift with purchase and my first reaction was that I hated it. The salesgirl suggested I try it with a plum liner and it changed to whole look. I never would have thought of that in a million yrs. The estee lauder plummy is nice if you use a light hand, but my favorite plum liner is clinique's beige plum-it goes with everything. Try it with the tiger's eye lipstick and you will not be disappointed, I promise.

I'm NC 20-25 with brown hair and this looks amazing on me! I get a ton of compliments when I wear this. I like it with UD Smog shadow and MAC Margin blush. This is my HG lippie :)

This color is at first looked like a very pretty shimmery coppery bronzey shade and I assumed it would look nice on me. I applied this in my living room without a mirror like no big deal. The formula felt very moisturizing, and is a nice alternative to lip gloss. My bf said omg that looks horrible after he noticed and said eww what do you have on your lips? I ran into to bathroom thinking what the heck is he talking about it couldnt look that bad..and I clearly wrong I was shocked how nice it looked in the tube and how awful it looked on me. It just didn't match up at all. I saw big chunks of glitter and also some shimmer on my lips. I don't want glitter in my lipsticks. The glitter competes with the shimmer. To over the top for me. So disappointing, It's a great color but the glitter ruins it looks cheap in my opinion. I thought this would look nice on my tan skin in the summer epic fail. I got this in my free spring bag. Idk if people just wear things cause they are free or what but this is a hott mess really...and then after I removed it there was still traces of glitter that I had a hard time removing. I basically ended up putting a nude over it just to cover up any traces of it. I copuld see this working good with red heads and thats about it.

rating-1
price-2 even though I got it for free it still is a 20 something tube of lipstick
packaging-5 a regular tube
buy again-NEVER HAVE NEVER WILL

I love this color, but it is sad that it is just too shimmery! it actually leaves shimmers on my lips after the lipstick has worn off- that is a no go for me.


However, i love the smell of these lipsticks, and the color "mocha" is my favorite, just not tiger eye.

Like has been said, this is light, moisturizing, hydrating, and creamy without feeling too goopy or gunky. It's very smooth and very light, if that makes sense. It's a gorgeous summer shade of coppery peach gold shimmer, ... got in in a swap and it looks amazing on me!

I like this lipstick- The color is very foxy and shimmery, and works for many skin tones. It's also very hydrating to lips. I recommend it.

This color is a shimmery coppery-peachy shade. It dosen't look like anything great in the tube, but once applied it's a beautiful shade that warms up the face. The formula is very moistursing, and is a nice alternative to lip gloss (with just as much shine). I'm very pale (NW20) and this is a shade that makes me feel sun-kissed without having to tan or apply bronzer in the summertime.

This lipstick looks totally '90's' in the tube but when applied to lips it looks like a bronzed peach with golden shimmer.

The shimmer does last longer than the base colour which I kind of dont mind. The only shimmer I like on my lips is gold.

The colour warms up my face and isnt too brown and overpowering. I have quite neutral colouring but prefer warmer shades. I dont think this would work for cool, pink skin.

I got this in the Holiday Blockbuster so love the cool gold tube!

Tiger Eye is a luminous peachy pink shade full of coppery sparkles. When I first saw it, I thought it would be too orange for my skin, but it wears beautifully. I have cool skin, but this shade still looks good on me, neutral, even. I've worn it with both brown-based and gray shadows, and it suits both, and I've taken pictures in it, and it looked natural, while lending my lips a little bit of shine.

The formula is creamy and even, and it doesn't dry my lips. This lipstick is not super long-wearing, but I'm okay with that because it doesn't wear off badly or leave my lips parched, unlike some other lipsticks. I'm very pleasantly surprised by this shade, and will use it instead of NYX's Ceto, which dehydrates my lips.
