Chanel Ideale (22) Rouge Allure Gloss

Chanel Ideale (22) Rouge Allure Gloss ($34.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a light-medium, milky pink with warm, yellow undertones and fine light gold pearl. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, but the lighter color paired with the glossier finish seemed to make it more prone in highlighting the lines of the lip, though the settling wasn’t quite as noticeable due to the opacity of the product. It wore well for four hours on me, and it was comfortable and hydrating while worn. Becca Guava/Opal (P, $24.00) is darker, more muted (90% similar). MAC Cream Pie (LE, $21.00) is less shimmery (90% similar). NARS Turkish Delight (P, $26.00) is less shimmery, lighter (90% similar). MAC Please Me (P, $21.00) is less shimmery, darker (90% similar). MAC Bijou (LE, $21.00) is less shimmery, cooler (90% similar). Too Faced Peach Fuzz (P, $19.00) is less shimmery (90% similar). Bite Beauty Six (Watercolor) (LE, ) is less shimmery, lighter (90% similar). MAC Just Superb (P, $20.00) is darker (85% similar). NYX Maple Blondie (P, $5.00) is less shimmery, darker (85% similar).

Chanel Expressive (24) Rouge Allure Gloss ($34.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a softened, medium-dark pinky plum with warm undertones and fine orange-gold shimmer. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a creamy, lightweight consistency that was comfortable to wear and hydrating over time. The color could have applied a bit smoother, though. It was slightly tacky after an hour or so of wear, but it was never heavy or really sticky. This shade wore well for five hours on me.
