Best & Worst of Chanel Rouge Allure Laques (2020)
Here’s your review recap of all 20 shades of the recently-released Chanel Rouge Allure Laque ($40.00 for 0.18 fl. oz.), which is a liquid lipstick formula that has a natural-to-satin finish (rather than a traditional full-on, matte finish). They start off more emollient, almost like a liquid balm, but develop into a lightly tackier, thinner consistency that adheres better (doesn’t slide around) but doesn’t feel as thick or as tacky as some other competitor formulas.
They are not as pigmented as marketed, though many shades were buildable in coverage with a second layer (which was still comfortable to wear), but the real “downside” and why so many shades rated lower than one might have expected was simply that the wear claim was 12 hours… and they were more apt to last between five and six hours with a few longer than that. They were longer-wearing, in general, but by no means ultra long-wearing as marketed!
What I liked the most about the formula was how comfortable and how hydrating it was to wear, though; they felt almost weightless over time and my lips felt and looked better for wearing them back-to-back.

A 20 lip collection by Chanel, one A? 5-10 years ago, I never would have believed it.
They made a really long wear-time claim (12 hours), which really drove down the ratings across the board!
Timeless and Invincible are at the top of my list, too. Pure perfection!
Mythe was so lovely of a shade to me that even though it placed lower, it’s on on my WL. It’s one I could see myself using often.
Even though the shades have been colourful – it’s just the formula, and we’re not paying good for outrageous claims for long time wear.
Only one “A” rating! That’s unfortunate, but I really appreciate seeing each of these swatches “in person”, Christine. I can safely skip this entire launch!
