Chanel Legendary Green Stylo Yeux Waterproof Review, Photos, Swatches
Legendary Green (857)
Chanel Legendary Green (857) Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner ($33.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a deep, forest green with subtle, cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in a single stroke, which was buildable to opaque coverage with two layers. The consistency was smooth and lightly creamy, so it glided across the skin without skipping or tugging but did not slide around or smudge. It wore well for nine hours on my lower lash line before starting to fade noticeably.
Chanel’s holiday collection will be available October 16th online and November 2017 at counters.

Formula Overview
$33.00/0.01 oz. - $3300.00 Per Ounce
The Stylo Yeux formula is supposed to be a “waterproof, smudge-proof” eyeliner with a “gentle, soft” texture. I gave up on this formula bit ago, as the majority of shades I had tried had a really firm, stiff, and painful-to-use texture, but new releases have much improved!
They are much, much creamier without being too wet, so they didn’t transfer or migrate easily. The formula was easy (and not painful!) to use even on my waterline. The eyeliners lasted nine hours or more on me.

Ingredients
As much as I love a good green eye pencil, this one just isn’t rocking my world like Sephora’s Contour Pencil in Go For A Ride. GFAR is probably my all-time favorite green eyeliner pencil without a doubt!
Go For a Ride <3
Pretty. I’ve been looking for this color. This is definitely on my wish list.
I love the Stylo Yeux pencils and have several. I am on board for this one also. Green is one of my favorite colors.
I’ve bought a fair number of not so stellar stylos just for colour. I think I could wear this green. It’s on the maybe list.
I love that green!
A beautiful shade, but really – the Sephora Go For A Ride eyeliner pencil that you have used so often on this blog is better quality and at about half the price.
This was the collection that most interested me this season. I was hoping the products would score poorly so that I could save some money!
Christine, glad to see the Chanel Stylos aren’t bothering your eyes anymore! I love these, have picked up 4 of these (2 of Orchidee and 2 of Eros) because of the unique colors and bulletproof wear. This color is beautiful, and if money was no object, I would love to get it, but I can dupe it, so will skip this time, but I’m sure Chanel will get me again with another one.
They don’t bother my eyes – some past iterations were very stiff, though, so they were painful to use, but I don’t recall have any reactions to these in the past? Maybe my memory is faulty…
This would work so well with my brown/hazel eyes!!!! Im going to be eyeing up those dupes!!
