Ombres Lamées de Chanel

Chanel Ombres Lamées de Chanel Eyeshadow Palette ($105.00 for 0.49 oz.) is undeniably more intricate and stunning upon arrival than most powders, but the question is whether the product–once the overspray is removed–actually lives up to the three digit price tag. There are six narrow strips with different designs, but there are actually only three unique shades. I wish the colors were contained with two strips in a row, rather than alternating, because it would make each area about a third of the pan and totally usable with a brush. It doesn’t work as well as average-sized eye brushes and is one better suited for detail brushes or if you don’t mind mixing shades.

The good news is that it was wearable and resulted in a decent look, but I don’t think the eyeshadows are particularly amazing (and they are, at least, dupable). They could be more pigmented and less dusty. The upside is that the palette itself contained a massive amount of product, so at least they didn’t skimp on that! The included brushes are decent, though I think they are still too large (especially the rounded crease brush) for using the shades individually. (They are better quality than the normal applicators that come in Chanel’s palettes, so that is likely part of the “justification” of the price tag.)

It’s supposed to launch exclusively on the 28th, but there is early access through Chanel Ombres Lamées de Chanel Eyeshadow Palettethis link.

Ombres Lamées de Chanel #2

Ombres Lamées de Chanel #2 is a deep brown with subtle, warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. The color payoff was good, but it was hard to maintain the color’s true depth, as it often was lightened by the neighboring shade. The powder felt a little drier and firmer in the pan, though it wasn’t difficult to blend out on the lid. It wore well for seven hours before fading on me.

Ombres Lamées de Chanel #3

Ombres Lamées de Chanel #3 is a medium, yellow gold with warm undertones and a frosted finish. It had a drier, looser consistency; it seemed like the shimmer pulled away from the base color, which gave it a more uneven texture and amount of coverage on the lid (and primer did not fix that). The pigmentation was semi-opaque and buildable. This shade started to fade after six hours on me.
