Chanel Rouge Particulier & Brun Mysterieux Rouge Allure Ink Liquid Lip Colours Review & Swatches
Rouge Particulier (846)
Chanel Rouge Particulier (846) Rouge Allure Ink Matte Liquid Lip Colour ($40.00 for 0.2 oz.) is a darker, coppery red with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-sheer pigmentation that applied evenly in one layer, which wasn’t as intense as marketed, but one could apply a second layer (after letting the first layer dry down) for higher coverage.
The texture was lightweight, thinner, and almost watery, which made it easy to spread across my lips for an even layer of product. It dried down quickly and still felt a little flexible while on, but it was transfer-resistant. This shade lasted well for four and a half hours and felt non-drying over time.

Formula Overview
$45.00/0.2 oz. - $225.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "ultra-intense, ultra-matte, longwearing lip colour" that "fuses" for "lightweight" and "comfortable coverage." The coverage was more semi-opaque than "ultra-intense," but the finish was flat, matte after the product dried down. A second layer could be applied for more pigmentation (once the initial layer set).
The initial texture was thin, more watery and fluid than I expected, and it almost seemed more like a blotted effect after it dried down. The product had marginally more stretch and flexibility to it after dry down, so it was more comfortable to wear and felt very lightweight on. I would recommend exfoliating prior to applying this formula to ensure a smoother application.
They lasted between five and six hours and felt non-drying for the most part. There was a very subtle, floral scent but no discernible taste.

PPermanent. $45.00.
Brun Mysterieux (848)
Chanel Brun Mysterieux (848) Rouge Allure Ink Matte Liquid Lip Colour ($40.00 for 0.2 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark reddened plum with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-sheer color payoff in a single layer, which could be built up to more semi-opaque coverage by applying a second layer (wait for the first one to dry down, though!).
It had a very thin, almost watery texture initially, which applied more evenly after a second or two on my lips. The formula was quick to dry down to a mostly matte finish that still had some stretch and flexed comfortably on my lips. It wore well for five hours and felt non-drying over time.

Oh this is absolutely beautiful! I really want to try more high end makeup but I never know where to start. I have a chanel blush though so I trust them more now!
This reiterates what we already know and that Christine teaches us. DS level can be great & preferable to HE. These are lovely colors, but Iām very glad to have Cloud Dynasty and Facilier. Great $ saved on products that rated better.
Even though I’m fairly certain that I have something similar in color, I don’t have something like Rouge Particulier in a dry-down, mask-friendly finish going into fall. And this is exactly the type of shade I love in the cooler months!
Lovely shades, but not that flash in formula. I am sure there are better quality dupes for these colours at a much lower price.
