Chanel Fall 2011: Rose Ecrin Joues Contraste

Chanel Rose Ecrin Joues Contraste ($43.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a neutral pink with a satin sheen. It’s neither warm nor cool, but if I had to say it leaned one way or the other, I would say it leans slightly yellow. Rose Ecrin is a subtle blusher as the color blends out to a semi-sheer dusting of rosy pink with a hint of beige once applied. It is a buildable color, but the color itself is muted so it will never be too much.

Joues Contraste contains a very finely milled powder that feels like silk to the touch and blends easily on the skin. It never looks powdery or heavy, and it always looks natural once applied. My only complaint is that it tends to fade after six to eight hours, rather than lasting a full eight to ten hours.

It reminded me of Burberry Cameo which leans a little plum.

Hi Christine, I’m going to get a couple of Chanel blushes. For reference in a NC 25. I can’t decide on Fandango or Imprevu. I want a nice bronze glow w/ no red. I’m also torn between Rose Petale & Rose Bronze. Thanks for our help 🙂

Sulfate free shampoos, like the L’oreal onoes in the grey silver bronze bottles are excellent in prolonging colour treatment 🙂

Chanel very wisely decided to pair a subtle cheek with the intense eye looks that were created for fall. Rose Écrin is a beautiful neutral rose with a hint of beige at it’s heart that enables it to blend seamlessly into the surrounding complexion. This is definitely a natural look, soft and pretty.

Chanel’s packaging is so (for lack of a better word) sexy to me. The hard part is figuring out whether it’s this color I love or the way the whole product looks!

This is really flattering on you, very “MCBB”- with a pretty flush! Also what are you wearing on your lips in the full face shot please?
