<p>I&#8217;m happy to say that this is a better product than <a href="https://www.temptalia.com/product/chanel-illusion-dombre-velvet-long-wear-luminous-matte-eyeshadow/fleur-de-pierre-106">Fleur de Pierre</a>!  The newest iteration of the Illusion d&#8217;Ombre family is supposed to be a matte version, though I&#8217;m not sure where shimmer and matte became interchangeable; these have a drier, smoother consistency and much less sparkle/glitter compared to the permanent Illusion d&#8217;Ombre line-up, but this shade is nowhere near matte.  It had semi-opaque color payoff that was blendable and could be sheered out for more of a wash of color (brightening for fair to medium skin tones) or used as a base.  The color lasted for nine hours on me before fading. </p>
