Inattendu (199)

Chanel Inattendu (199) Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour ($45.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light-medium plum with muted, warm undertones and a natural sheen.

  • Semi-opaque, buildable coverage
  • Very lightweight, thin but not clingy
  • Applied evenly, felt comfortable to wear
  • Long-wearing (4 hours), hydrating

Formula Overview

$45.00/0.12 oz. - $375.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a "satin finish" with "ultra-thin pigments" that yield "full coverage" while also having a moisturizing base. Most shades in the range have a satin to luminous finish--not glossy but they have a luminosity to them that gives the appearance of lighter-weight color and smoother, fuller lips that a true satin finish doesn't have (in my experience).

The texture has a more velvety feel--smooth with great glide but not a lot of wetness, so they go on comfortably but feel very lightweight and thin but don't emphasize lip lines/lip texture. The coverage tends to be more semi-opaque to opaque, so they aren't always living up to the "full coverage" claim.

Most shades wear four hours or longer with some of the deeper and richer hues lasting six hours or more, and the formula has been hydrating for me. They have a subtle, floral scent but no discernible taste.

Sensation (204)

Chanel Sensation (204) Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour ($45.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep plum with cool undertones and a natural sheen. It did not apply evenly and seemed more prone to catching along imperfections.

  • Semi-opaque, buildable coverage
  • Very lightweight, thin, caught on texture
  • Applied unevenly, felt comfortable to wear
  • Long-wearing (4 hours), hydrating
