Grandeur (56)

Chanel Grandeur (56) Ombre Premiere Longwear Powder Eyeshadow ($36.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a rich, deeper gold with strong, warm orange undertones and a pearly sheen. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly to bare skin. The texture felt smooth, silky, and cream-like; it felt like a 40-60 cream-powder mix by touch but it blended out with the ease of a powder and melted onto my skin like a cream. It wore well for eight hours on me before creasing faintly.

Formula Overview

$30.00/0.05 oz. - $600.00 Per Ounce

The formula is described as a “richly-pigmented” and “longwearing.” There are 16 shades available, and I’ve tried eight of them and have found that most are semi-opaque to opaque in coverage with soft, blendable textures that are often on the dustier side. Some shades were prone to sheering out on the lid and applied best by layering and building up the color than trying to pack it on. They lasted between six and seven and a half hours on me, which was below average. I think Chanel’s formula in their quads is better overall, as they are not as dusty but still are blendable.

Pourpre Brun (58)

Chanel Pourpre Brun (58) Ombre Premiere Longwear Powder Eyeshadow ($36.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a deep plum with subtle, warm undertones and a satin sheen. It had rich color coverage that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well along the edges for a diffused look but didn’t lose its intensity. The texture felt like a cream-powder hybrid (but more powder than cream), dense and smooth, but not too thick nor so emollient that it was hard to work with. This shade stayed on nicely for eight hours on me before creasing slightly.
