Candeur et Experience (268)

Chanel Candeur et Experience (268) Eyeshadow Palette ($61.00 for 0.07 oz.) contains three shades of brown with a pop of warm red with mostly matte finishes. The texture of the four shades is firmer and thinner compared to most of the recent Eyeshadow Quads (it reminds me more of the previous formula in the quads), and I found it applied and worked better in practice than it seemed like it would from initial swatches. The colors were more buildable and were quite blendable on the lid, in spite of the firmer press in the pan. All of the shades lasted eight hours before starting to fade and lightly crease.

Candeur et Experience #2

Candeur et Experience #2 is a light, golden brown with strong, yellow undertones and a satin finish. This shade had the firmest press in the quad, which made it harder to get good pigmentation out of it without really jabbing at the color or building up in layers. The color blended out without issue and lasted for eight hours.

Candeur et Experience #3

Candeur et Experience #3 is a medium-dark, reddish copper with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had fairly good pigmentation, though it took two layers for full opacity. The texture was soft, smooth, and lightly silky–the softest of the four–that applied evenly and blended out nicely. I noticed fading after eight hours of wear.

Candeur et Experience #4

Candeur et Experience #4 is a medium-dark brown with warm, golden undertones and a satin finish. It was slightly darker than the first brown shades in the palette, and the undertone is warmer (yellower, less red). The texture was smooth, blendable, and easy to work with on the lid, but it had semi-opaque color coverage that required two to three layers for true-to-pan color. It wore well for just over eight hours on me.
