Chanel Rose Lame (826) Ombre Premiere Longwear Cream Eyeshadow Review & Swatches
Rose Lamé (826)
Chanel Rose Lame (826) Ombre Premiere Longwear Cream Eyeshadow ($36.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a sparkling, light peach with subtle, pink undertones and warmer, golden shimmer and micro-sparkle. The consistency was lightly creamy with a touch of tackiness (when I touched it with my fingertip) that wasn’t too thick or too thin on my lid, so I had no trouble applying it with opaque color coverage in a single layer but it could easily be diffused and buffed out for a sheerer effect if desired. The eyeshadow stayed on well for almost 10 hours before creasing faintly, and there seemed to be just a smidgen of fallout over time.

Formula Overview
$36.00/0.14 oz. - $257.14 Per Ounce
Chanel describes the formula as a “smooth-textured cream shadow [that] glides on effortlessly” and is “long-wearing.” Overall, the consistency has moderate slip–emollient but not greasy or overly wet in feel–and feels more like a traditional cream eyeshadow than Chanel’s Illusion d’Ombres. They go on as a thin layer but have fairly good pigmentation. The formula dried down quite quickly leaving little time for blending or diffusing edges, even when working one eye at a time, which was where I struggled. I think some of them tended to work better as lid colors and using something else for a more diffused/blended out crease color. They did, however, wear impeccably for as long as fourteen hours on me–no creasing, fading, or flaking.

Ingredients
A beautiful, stunning shade that would work with any other colour and skintone. Gorgeous eye look Christine.
Thank you, Genevieve!
Just read the formula overview for this because I honestly didn’t know if this was a new formula replacing the Illusion d’ Ombre or whether it was something older that I had missed. I think the color is lovely and since it doesn’t budge after setting I would think this would be a nice one and done shadow if the dry down wasn’t so quick. I guess you have to get a pretty precise placement on the get go!
It definitely seems to replace the Illusion d’Ombres – more like a traditional crema the Illusion d’Ombres, IMO, which were spongy.
Thank you, Christine. I have felt a little like I was in a coma while gone for 5 weeks and feel like everything is “new” again.
Beautiful look! While I love seeing that you’re making unique looks, I’d really like to have a shot of just the product on the eyelids alone without any other distractions (i.e other shadows). With lighter color products, I I find other colors especially overpower the product being reviewed. For example, with this Chanel cream shadow, it would have been great to see this with just eyeliner and mascara. Temptalia is my go-to source for make up reviews and your write ups play a significant role in my purchases so I’d really like if you could include ‘solo product’ shots as well 🙂
Thank you for the suggestion! My lids can only take so much, so unfortunately, I am not your go-to if you want single eyeshadow swatches. I’m lucky to remove my makeup once to redo it or else my eczema will flare up for sure 🙁 In order to test the volume of products that I do, I do need to multi-task, so it just isn’t feasible to test one shade at a time – this is why I’ve shown the eyeshadow sheered out as a wash on my arm for your reference 🙂
Thanks Christine 🙂 I didn’t know that before but now I understand. You’re still my go to though !
Christine what lip colors ar you wearing..? so gorgeous!

Thanks, I was going to ask the same thing. A nice lip for daytime that still looks “dressy” to me. Love it!
This is one of the very few times I’ve seen an eyeshadow literally take my breath away. It just seems to have a gorgeous complexity to it for such a light shade. I’m good as long as it doesn’t crease!
This is stunning. I am so happy this is permanent!
Oh… status changed in limited… Ok, too bad, money saved. I do not feel like getting into limited edition things… Scintillance, in the permanent range looks very similar. 🙂
I hope you bought some cool shades and will review them, too. Some of us aren’t ‘peach’ girls.
Hi Anne,
This is the new shade from the brand’s holiday collection 🙂 There is only one shade of this formula that they released in the holiday collection. I don’t control what shades they release in a given collection or launch. I do not make purchasing decisions to exclude “cool” shades – I generally am purchasing the new products that brands release and do so based on the types of products, brands, launches, whether limited edition/permanent, what my budget looks like (how much I can purchase in a go), and so on as I cannot purchase + review everything.
I saw a few on Nordstrom. I’d love to see you select one or two to see if they are as good as the peach. I don’t have a clue how you select what you review. But, this Chanel formula intrigues me a lot. I’m into good creams now days.
Hi Anne,
I’m not sure what you saw at Nordstrom, but on Chanel’s website, they only list one shade in the holiday collection, so I’m unaware of any additional ones.
Perhaps you are referring to the permanent range? This is a new shade, but the formula came out a bit ago 🙂 I reviewed several shades when they launched but I’m not looking to purchase any more shades at this time as I am over budget for holiday launches!

My oops. I missed the original launch. Thanks.
Well, that is a lovely cream eyeshadow.
