Noir Petrole (931)

Chanel Noir Petrole (931) Stylo Yeux Eyeliner ($33.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a deep black with subtle, olive brown undertones and a fine, satin sheen. It looked a lot more complex in the swatch photo than I could really see in person as an eyeliner on my lower lash line, though.

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 I happened to receive one shade as a press sample, figured I’d give it a shot, and was pleasantly surprised. It was much, much creamier–so much so that I purchased the other shade in the collection. The texture was creamy without being too wet, so it didn’t transfer or migrate easily. Noir Petrole had semi-opaque coverage in one stroke, but it was buildable to opaque coverage in two layers. It was easy (and not painful!) to use even on my waterline. The eyeliner was still going strong after ten hours of wear.

Mat Taupe (932)

Chanel Mat Taupe (932) Stylo Yeux Eyeliner ($33.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark taupe-brown with warmer undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was creamy, smooth, and easy to glide across the lower lash line. It had semi-opaque coverage in one pass, which was buildable to nearly opaque coverage in two layers, but it seemed to be more emollient so it moved a bit as I layered it to greater opacity. The eyeliner wore well for eight and a half hours on me before thinning slightly.
