Chanel Insolente Rouge Allure Lipstick
Bright Pink That’s Wearable
Chanel Insolente (65) Rouge Allure Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is brightened medium pink with subtle blue undertones. It has next to in noticeable shimmer but has a soft sheen. Like other Rouge Allures, it has opaque color, feels comfortable on the lips, and wears well. I typically get five to six hours of wear with brighter/deeper shades like this one. I wouldn’t describe the formula as overly creamy or moisturizing, but they never dry out my lips and always apply evenly and smoothly.

RECOMMENDATION: Insolente is a happy medium of brightness in a pink. It’s not neon, and it’s not the most traffic-stopping pink ever made, but it’s also a whole lot more wearable, too.

Product & Review FAQ
Where can I purchase Insolente? How much is it?
Chanel, $30.
Is it limited edition?
No.
Any dupes?
You would think with The Summer Season under our belt, there would be plenty of dupes to choose from. The closest was Dolce & Gabbana Splendid, which isn't quite as blue-based. Illamasqua's Frenzy is a little deeper and glossier. MAC's Impassioned is a little more vibrant and almost a little coral-y in contrast, so you may also want to check out Lustering, which might not be opaque or bright enough but seems closer in color. (And no, Insolente does not compare to Super--from summer--as Super has strong blue undertones.)
I just bought this one for spring, and I love it on me! It's bright, but not overwhelming. So flattering.
I bought this RA Insolente at the same time as when I bought RA Confidentielle and Extrait de Gloss Insolence. They are the perfect mix. None of them is similar to each other. Insolente is my pick me up color. it brightens my face and I always get a lot of compliments when I'm wearing this. Thanks Christine for sharing.
I bought this lipstick because of your review it doesn't look like bright pink on my lip it looks more like a red-pink :( I'm quite disappointed I thought they use this shade on Fendi-spring 2011 runway show, may be I was wrong
Do you have naturally red lips?
I want to have iitt!
very nice pink color!
I bought this over the weekend with Rouge Allure Extrait De Gloss Insolence. I love them!
You can really tell when a lipstick has a good texture just by looking at your photos...
It looks a bit similar to your post on victorias secret 'Be Mine' (http://www.temptalia.com/the-summer-season-vs-makeup-be-mine-lipstick) would you say that it is in person?
Be Mine pulls a little coral, Insolente is a truer pink with bluer undertones.
The perfect bright pink!
I did not like the colour that much in the tube, but when I saw the swatch on your arm and your lips, I changed my mind. Very pretty indeed. I would pay the bucks to have it.
I tried it a while back and it pulled really cool on me. :( To make things worse, that day I had on smokey grey eyeshadow and dark eyeliner. I must have been quite a sight as people were staring at me, LOL. I still love my Giulette (bought after your gorgeous looking post). Wanna try try MUFE's Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick in #37, but before that, I need your opinion. Are Giulette and #37 similar? They look almost the same in your previous posts.
The gray might have accentuated the blue undertones, too! :) Is Giulette darker on you than me? Because I put the photos side-by-side, and Giulette is lighter, much pinker, while #37 is brighter and more coral.
I'm NC30, so I think Giulette looks a bit lighter on me. So I guess #37 would be brighter, too? I'm mulling between Toxic Tale and #37 (the second wave of Venomous Villains is hitting the stores where I live on Fri, the first wave is totally sold out! There were queues outside the stores for the first wave!).
Toxic Tale does seem similar to #37, which means you can grab Toxic Tale (cheaper) but if you can't... #37 is available!
I LOVE it! :)
I got this lipstick and I love it! I always get compliments when I´m wearing it. And the matching nailpolish :)
Bit too bright for me, I've never really liked pink. How do the Chanel Rouge Allures compare with the Guerlain Rouge Gs? From what I can tell you like the Rouge Gs better, any reason why?
Rouge Gs are creamier, and they have a lovely sparkle. They're both great lipsticks, but I do prefer Rouge G personally!
I buy this month ago, and i'm absolutely in love with this colour! Passion pinky, with silky texture! Amazing! My favotite for this autumn!
Thanks Christine for the swatches. I've been looking for a real lip swatch of this lipstick. It's such a lovely bright pink color and i'm glad it's not limited edition because i missed SUPER! Anyway, i have impassioned already. You've mentioned it could be similar do you think i don't need to get this anymore? How does this compare to estee lauder's brilliant pink?
I don't have Brilliant Pink :/
Pretty!
i went and got this right after you posted it. it's so great!
I like it!
Do you know if it is anything like MAC Speed Dial?
Brighter and not as cool!
It reminded me of CHATTERBOX - MAC. SO cute!!!
Chatterbox is a lot lighter on me, so I didn't think to mention it here! Is it bright pink on you? http://www.temptalia.com/the-summer-season-mac-chatterbox-lipstick
Very pretty shade, I prefer this colour to the pale nudish pinks.
That is a really pretty color.
I love this color. I got it and the matching Nail polish.
I love this color, its bold without being too overwhelming, but what are you wearing on you cheeks?
Benefit Sugarbomb, I think!
Hey Christine... Is there a MAC dupe (Girl about town seems too intense and bright compared to this), or some dupe for this color? I absolutely love this pink!! THANKS
Hi Kristen, I listed possible dupes in the FAQ!
Do you know, is this similar to Super?
Ohh sorry just noticed in the facts.
No prob!
Hi Amanda, It's a lot bluer-based - almost looks a bit purple in comparison - as noted in the FAQ. :)
It's gorgeous, love it! How similar is it to Genial? (Or am I thinking of the wrong shade? Sorry it's late here.)
Genial is a coral, so it's totally different, IMO. I listed dupes in the FAQ!
I'm such a sucker for these Barbie-type blue pinks. Any dupes come to mind?
Dupes are listed in the FAQ!
Gosh, this is such a cute lippie!
omg this just totally made me feel better im so guilt tripping my mom into buying me this since im in bed rest for two more days
Looks great with the touch of pink on your cheeks! Just wondering if you prefer Chanel Rouge Allure Lipstick or Guerlain Rouge G Lipsticks? You seem to like them both so I was just wondering which one is better? Also which one wears the longest and tends not to sink into lip lines? Thank you for your opinions!
Rouge Gs -- but it could just be personal preference - more of my favorites are in that range :) They wear about the same, but I like the slight glossiness of Rouge Gs.
Pretty color but sadly, this formula dries my lips. I'm a Rouge Coco kind of girl.
