Smoky Eyes: Chanel Enigma Eyeshadow Quad
Thursday, June 24th, 2010
Dirty, Dirty, Smoky, Smoky Rich!
I told you I had a look at the ready using Chanel Enigma Eyeshadow Quad! 
I can’t believe it’s already Thursday. The week went by so fast, and I feel like I still have a zillion things on my to-do list that I was supposed to have done… yesterday!
I also wanted to shout out to the lovely Stephanie & Nicole at Sprinkles @ Stanford Shopping Center, as well as Miss Olivia’s boyfriend, who spotted me at Pinkberry @ Stanford Shopping Center! It was nice to meet all of you!
What’s the best part about your Thursday so far? It’s not quite noon yet, so nothing amazing yet, though I am going to go on a cleaning frenzy as soon as I hit publish on this post — and I am kind of looking forward to having everything organized again.
You will need the following…
- Eyes: NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base (neutral eyeshadow base), Chanel Enigma Eyeshadow Quad (rosy pink), Chanel Vert Khaki Eyeshadow (dark olive green), Chanel Enigma Eyeshadow Quad (dark burgundy-plum), MAC Grain Eyeshadow (highlighter), Chanel Cassis Eyeliner (plum), MAC Plushlash Mascara (black)
- Face: Make Up For Ever HD Foundation (140), Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder (translucent)
- Cheeks: Chanel Pink Explosion Blush (brightened pink)
- Lips: Chanel Chintz Rouge Coco Lipstick (peach with pink), Chanel Petite Peche Glossimer (peach)
- Brushes: 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 116 (dense blush brush)
For eyes, start by applying Smudgeproof as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. Using the 239, apply light pink-peach eyeshadow on the inner half of the lid. Apply Vert Khaki eyeshadow on the outer half of the lid, then lightly blend dark burgundy eyeshadow in the outer crease and very outer edge of the lid with the 226. Blend Grain eyeshadow with the crease shade and highlight the brow bone . Bring everything together by applying Cassis liner on the lower lash line and the light pink-peach eyeshadow patted below. Finish by sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.
For cheeks, apply Pink Exposion blush on the apples of the cheeks and smooth with fingertips.
For lips, apply Chintz lipstick first, and then layer Petite Peche glossimer for a complementing lip.

Hi Christine. I was just wondering... How did u purchased the collection so early? Because I'm dying to own them :) I love this collection.
Hi Carla, Chanel PR sent these items to me! (See the bottom of the post!)
Beautiful as always..........do you think these shades will work on blue eyes/dark blond hair/nc20-ish? or will they be too dark?
Yes, I do think they'd work!
Holy smokes Christine, you look gorgeous! Especially with your hair down like that :)
Aw, thank you, Allison!
another great neutral look!
Thanks, Michelle!
Love it! Smoky yet subtle, and your lashes look really defined, almost fake!
Thanks, Danielle!
Gorgeous look! Will you be doing a review of the blush?
Yes! I'm trying to use all three in a look, so I can include those in the review :)
Wow You look amazing! :D
Thank you, ChiPui!
Really a beautiful look for you! I love the Chintz lipstick with these smoky eyes; the color seems to have a much greater impact than when it's swatched alone on bare lips, without the complete look.
Thank you so much! :) Lighter shades like Chintz and such definitely work really well with heavier eyes. Sometimes without them, they can make one look a bit washed out.
What a GORGEOUS look! :D I definitely LOVE this look a lot!
Thanks, Gao!
КЛАСС !!!!!!
Thank you, Josephina!
G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S
Thanks, Adriana!
Absolutely stunning! :) This is such a sultry look.
Thank you so much!
Wow! Take my breath away gorgeous! This is your best look yet! I need the Enigma quad like a fish needs a bicycle, but it is mine! Mine, I say! =)
Yay! Thanks, Ashley!
Dangit Christine, now I want everything. Can you tell me some caparable MAC eyeshadows that I could use to achieve this look, also lipcolor and blush, if you have time.
Lindo, você é perfeita! Congratulations. Beijos.
Thank you, I think! lol!
I used the quad this am & did something similar but used Vanilla from MAC under my brow. I'm at work so didn't want to go too dark. Just love the way your eyes turned out. How do you like that pencil from Chanel - I used to buy alot of theirs & since have turned to MAC because of the price - I can get 2 for the price of 1 Chanel pencil. But that pencil looks gorgeous on you - Would you repurchase - I might have to go back to SAKS & get it. Also - I used the Rose blush - the MUA at the SAKS couner sold me on it. I have blonde hair & blue eyes. Its very pigmented but I think it looks good - Didn't want to buy 2. Chanel is making me broke - LOL
Nice! Vanilla would be a good option for a highlighter with this palette :) I like Cassis, but it's pricey. I'm kind of an eyeliner fiend, so if the COLOR is right, I'll buy whatever. Cassis isn't one of those colors that personally makes me want to race out to get it, but it is pretty. Chanel blushes are sooo $$!
beautiful dirty dirty rich rich dirty dirty beautiful dirty rich. first thing i thought of when i saw that heading was gaga! but oh goodness, the look is just stunning. makes me wanna wear smoky eyes tomorrow, but i'm working absolutely all day :/
Good! It was totally a reference to her song :) Thank you!
Wow!!! This is so gorgeous, classy, elegant, extremely wearable and versatile. Your eyes just pop right out of the screen, the lips are just perfect for this look too! This quad just kills me, so great for a summer's night out ;)
Thank you so much, SiaM! :D
This looks particularly stunning on you! The whole look!
Thanks, Melly!
