Lait au Café [leh oh kah-fey] — Milk with coffee. A soft, milky beige-brown that marries clay and warm rose tones for a deeper take on an everyday neutral that gently evens the lid with warmth.
Sometimes restraint makes the biggest impact. Inspired by the effortless French eye look—where less-is-more—the feather matte and shimmer shadows balance pigment and pay-off, delivering a soft veil of diffused color that’s never harsh, never overdone. With Violette’s artistry technique built-in, the sheer cream-to-powder formula applies with ease and intuition to create subtle dimension for effortlessly defined eyes in seconds.
The feather matte shades are designed to deliver smooth, even color that builds naturally from a whisper of color to a lived-in smokey eye with zero fallout.
Violette’s Inspiration: “In a way, this is my most French-inspired formula yet—an ode to the undone beauty of old French films where the woman wears the makeup, not the other way around. I always dreamed of a formula that gives that lived-in eye look—something sensual and natural, not technical. With Plume Eyeshadow, the goal wasn’t intense pigment or precision but rather a sheer, diffused veil of color that you can apply with zero technique and zero effort.”
0.08oz / 2.4g
Gently swirl your finger into the shade to pick up color. Lightly tap onto the lid, stamping the pigment where you want depth. Blend upward and outward with your fingertip to diffuse. Et voilà—an airbrushed, feathery smokey eye in seconds. Wear alone for a soft veil or layer shades for added dimension.

"Eyeshadow for people with zero makeup skills or artistic bone 😉in them! Love the color it adds little something to the already existing shadow on the lids. The shimmer adds bit of light to the eyes. Smooth, soft formula & feels like nothing on the lids. Doesn’t leave my lids dry or itchy. The Blue packaging is perfection! Want to add more colors from the shimmer shades and the matte brown."
"I struggle with eyeshadows on my 55yr lids. I could never accomplish the barely there colors. I always seemed to have a heavy hand and lighter colors didn’t work, looked ruddy or off? This formula does what it says. Goes on silky and truly buildable. My eyelids lit up softly each time I stroked the brush. It’s an “under-color” payoff by layering. I personally love this product! The Bronze D’or is luminescent and makes my hazel eyes POP POW! Violette’s done it again. Brava!"
"The format of Plume Eyeshadow is really wonderful to work with. It genuinely feels intuitive, forgivong, as if there is no wrong way to apply it. It takes several passes to get the depth of shadow that I prefer. The shimmer is subtle. I only wish the staying power were better - though a bit of primer helps."
"I am quite disappointed in the Plume Eyeshadow , especially for the cost of the product. The packaging is nice but I do not consider it to be high end. The formulation is innovative but the color translation and transfer is sub-par. It goes on way lighter , with a barely there quality and shows up as brown versus an orchid color. I wish I could return the product and do not recommend it."
"Great texture and easy to apply. Buildable colour which lasts well. The packaging looks great, but the lid is a stiff and a bit flimsy. It feels like it could break when opening and closing. That said I have now bought another colour in the range 😊"
"This Plume eyeshadow in Lait au Cafe is just what I’ve been looking for! A ‘non shimmer, natural looking eyeshadow that you can apply in seconds with your fingertips. It remained non greasy throughout the day and lasted well! I shall certainly be looking at purchasing more of these after trying many eyeshadow sticks and never being satisfied! Great product if you want that ‘ no effort,’ natural look."
"I’ve recently been ill with a cold, which has been making me look quite pale and tired. I love this Plume Eyeshadow in Bois Brûlé because it is so easy to apply and blend with my fingertip, is weightless to wear, and brings some life and color to my look. Color lasts a good six hours without primer. I took one start off because it does crease a bit, but it’s also easy enough to blend back in when it does. I love that the look is effortless and lived in, “my skin but better”. Violette really knows how to formulate makeup that is easy to apply and works for a variety of complexions and ages!"
"It was falling out of the packaging and product itself falling apart. Customer support just ignored that fact and disappeared for weeks already."
"I wanted to live this shadow, as I love so many other products from this beautiful brand! However, the eye shadow creases. I have tried it both with and without eye primer, but it makes no difference. I love easy products you can apply with your fingers, so I thought this one would be a nice alternative to cream stick shadows. I will try it again using a face powder base on the eyelids to see if that prevents the creasing before I decide that it won’t work for me at all."
"I like that it isn’t matte. Looks lovely. Tried it once as a simple wash so I cannot determine depth of color. I haven’t tried to build it. Hoping it does pop a bit. What feedback I wish you had gotten is, for someone like myself who has nerve damage in one of my hands, I struggled to open it."
