Chanel Road Movie Les 4 Ombres Eyeshadow Palette Review, Photos, Swatches
Road Movie
Chanel Road Movie Les 4 Ombres Eyeshadow Quad ($61.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a new, permanent palette featuring a beige, golden copper, bluish teal, and a blackened blue. It had a murky, smoky vibe with pops of color. It was decent but for someone who wants really rich, intense pigmentation, I think they would be happier with another brand, while those who prefer more buildable, softer, and more muted smoky hues, this might appeal.

Road Movie #1
Road Movie #1 is a dark, bluish teal with a satin sheen. It had good color payoff, which was buildable to opaque coverage in two layers. The texture was fairly blendable, though it was a touch dry in the pan and could have been more evenly applied initially. This shade lasted for eight hours on me.

Road Movie #2
Road Movie #2 is a medium, golden brown with warm undertones and a satin sheen. It had good pigmentation with a soft, blendable texture that wasn’t too powdery nor was it too firmly pressed into the pan, which made it easy to work with on the lid. This shade wore well for seven and a half hours on me.

Road Movie #3
Road Movie #3 is a muted, dark navy blue with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. The pigmentation was mostly opaque, and it was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The texture was soft to the touch but more firmly packed in the pan, which helped to minimize fallout but made it less blendable (not too difficult but not effortless). It wore nicely for eight hours on me before fading.

I am so torn about this one….you have done such a beautiful look and it’s one that is especially lovely with brown eyes but I have a lot of blue shadows and rarely wear them – it’s just not an “every day” look for me. But I may try replicating this from my stash (or maybe even buy this if I return the Edgitorial palette)
Try replicating! I think if it’s not a look you’d wear often – and you already have a lot of blues – recreate with what you have. It’s so pricey for something that you wouldn’t wear often, IMO 🙂
I just checked and, yes, I’ve got your listed dupes for everything but the more matte blue (I passed on Nars Old Church Street in favour of Rue Allent or I’d have a Temptalia dupe for that too), though I imagine I can find a more matte blue fairly easily – picking up MAC Plumage as a pro pan is an option and it’s funny – I’ve never bought it precisely because it’s a shade I knew I wasn’t likely to use. You just have to STOP making looks that are so hard to resist! It’s all your fault 😉 which is why you were my choice for an “influencer creation”.
Plumage really is close enough – might even be better 🙂
That’s exactly what I’m going to do, Mariella! Going to try something similar using: MAC Soleil, So Lovely, Plumage, KVD Watt and Empriente du Desert #1, and see what happens!
Plumage is an excellent shadow, fwiw!
I find that Makeup Geek’s Peacock is even better than MAC’s Plumage. Easier to blend and nicer quality shadow. It’s one of my favorites.
So pretty, but $62 for a quad is way out of my budget.
It is pricey for sure!
Very pretty eye look, Christine!
Thanks, Rachel!
I see strawberry blonds and redheads lining up to grab this palette as fast as they can. It’s a well-thought color scheme, but not for me.
Interesting – I don’t have hair like that at all but didn’t think it was a palette that wouldn’t work on other hair colors?
Yes, but redheads would turn heads wearing this one.
Neutral and NC redheads, particularly. That was my first instinct when I saw these colors on my monitor.
So true! Speaking for the redheads, we are quite partial to blue and greens!
I love it but I’m glad it’s permanent. I don’t plan to splurge right now. I’ll try to recreate with colors I own.
Phew! 🙂
Well, these look a lot better than the promo swatches I saw! It’s ok, but neither the colors/quality/finish are wowing me, and at $ 62, I need that wow factor.
I agree – it should wow you at $62!
Such a gorgeous smokey teal and bronze eye look you did using this, that it did make it a tempting purchase; at first. Until I got a gander at the dupes, and *knew* I could get something very, very close by just shopping my stash! So as much as I love the color combo, I will leave this quad alone.
Thank you, Nancy!
Kudos for Chanel to launch a palette with bold shades. They are not the shades I would easily wear but I like the concept. Am curious what the second palette looks like.
It’s nice to see — strange that this was permanent and City Lights was LE, though!
I took a look at City Lights and it seemed so much like a sort of washed out version of Tisse Rivoli that I wondered why they even bothered to release that one but, by the same token, it seemed more like a quad that would be permanent while this one would be LE.
That blue is gorgeous. $62 for four shades..not so gorgeous. Great look with the shadows..that blue on the water line..fantastic. What liner is that?

Thanks Christine! I am still figuring out this site I guess but thanks for the link:)
I bought this palette as soon as it was available on the Chanel website…totally LOVE this. I have made so many different looks with it…and that navy is the perfect liner along my upper lashes. The formula is easy to use and blend out and the colors are perfection!
Happy to hear you’re enjoying it, Cheryl!
I wish I liked blues more on my eyes! I actually do love these shades together!
Aww, bummer!
OMG – I just love those blues/teals, but I wish the browny shades had more oomph to them. Or more contrast.
Just a beautiful eye look Christine.
Thank you, Genevieve!
That teal reminds me of one from the MUFE artist shadow palette. I do like this quad, and the look you created but I rarely reach for teals or blues myself. I always think they draw more attention to discoloration under my eyes even after I have covered. Argh
I could see that – I feel like darker, smokier looks like this do the same on me.
Yes it reminds me of mufe peacock too. maybe not in dupe dupe sort of way but the effect for sure
Saw the look the other day, and was enchanted. Truly. Plumage was already short listed, thanks to being too unskilled for subculture. Suspect my fall birthday will warrant a Zoeva order from the WL, and Pine Tree Green would be useful in and of itself. Those mufe AS sure are reliable. I could get a trio any day, and still be in love with them. This combo is quite exciting, though.
Aw, thank you KJH!
Lovely combo that I might be able to completely dupe within my stash (maybe not exactly but it is often more about the vibe of a look than in the exact recreation!)
This look is so pretty Christine! I will save it ?
Thank you, Marie-Estelle!
Chanel does have lovely eyeshadow sets imo, but $62 for four small pans is way too much money…
Totally understand, Elizabeth!
I have one on hold to pick up. I think the colours are gorgeous and I have found that with Chanel, you might find similar colours, you will never be able to do an exact match. They all have a certain “something ” that makes them exceptionally beautiful and unique. Also too, I find Chanel shadows practically blend themselves. And as if that wasn’t enough, the look you did took me over the top, can’t wait to try to duplicate. Total must have winner from my perspective.
Enjoy your palette, Holly!
I think this is the nicer of the two shadow palettes Chanel brought out for fall, but I just don’t know how much I’d wear these shades. I’m really drawn to that teal, though; probably the smartest thing to do would be to pick up the Colour Pop dupe for $5.00!
It’s more interesting, at least!
Loving Road Movie #1, going to have to check out the dupes.
Good that this quad did well!
Fingers crossed you have a dupe!
This looks great on you but I’ll probably pass. I’ve got a few blues kicking around so I’m not sure I’d use these.
Thanks, Erin!
Christine, a question/request. Is it possible to put links in your reviews to the looks you have done with a particular product? I know that very often, you do have a “look breakdown” or “look details” link but I was looking the other day to see if you had done an eye look with Marc Jacobs Edgitorial because I am really struggling with it, and I found it quite by chance after looking in the review of the palette and finding nothing there. A link would have been really helpful. Is there any way this can be done more often?
I’m usually pretty good about attaching the images to the review, and the link would be in the caption – if it’s not, it’s my fault and my error. I will endeavor to forget less often but I am, unfortunately, prone to those types of mistakes 🙁
I do not, however, upload looks if they are just straight up terrible – like not even worth remembering terrible due to product performance.
Christine, you always put a smile on my face! “if they are just straight up terrible”. I recall your comments about the ABH Subculture palette and the trouble you had working with it. I was surprised to see 3 looks with it (I think it was 3) and, in light of your “straight up terrible” comment and knowing the trouble you had with that palette, you deserve a gold star for putting up the looks. Re the Edgitorial palette, I went back to your review of it, expecting you would have the 2 eye snaps (eye open/eye closed) in with the photos and they weren’t there. At first, I figured you didn’t take any photos at all and that’s why, when I did find the eye looks, I made the request.
All the looks I posted with Subculture were not difficult to do and did not come out badly (well, I guess that’s opinion – I did not think they were bad!) – the two times I had looks that didn’t come together, I didn’t take photos of those ones 🙂 I was more referencing when product doesn’t stick at all or immediately creases within a minute so there’s no point in keeping it on longer or finishing it, etc.
I’m sorry again – I’m trying my best to upload the looks as I have them ready but sometimes still miss them!
Oh, Christine, no need to apologize and I hope you didn’t take my remarks as criticism because I am in awe of the wonderful job you do here. And that’s precisely why I turn to you (well, to your site and your looks) when I am struggling with a product – I know your looks will not just inspire me but also guide me, which is the case with Edgitorial (though I am still thinking really seriously about returning it….I’m not all that happy with 2 of the colours and, to my surprise Pleather Python is not nearly as wearable as I would have hoped.
I’m glad this is permanent, as I may snag it once I’ve completed my One Year No Makeup Buy Challenge next summer 😉
What color blue eyeliner are you wearing? Is it Chanel?
