Tendresse (957)

Chanel Tendresse (957) Eyeshadow and Blush Palette ($90.00 for 0.42 oz.) is a new, limited edition multi-use palette with larger-sized pans as each well is designed to be used as a cheek color as well as as an eyeshadow shade. The texture was a bit firmer compared to Chanel’s eyeshadows but denser than the blush range, I felt like it was the right mix to work well for both uses. The variation in color and depth in this quad made it quite versatile for those who plan to use it as an eyeshadow quad or like to layer their shades.

Formula Overview

The formula is supposed to work for both eyes and cheeks, and there weren't concrete claims made about the formula--it sounded "versatile" and could be "blended" to "soften" the effect while simultaneously being described to create effects ranging from "subtle to powerful."

Generally, the texture of the formula was firmer, denser; not to the point where it was stiff, but you would need a moderately-dense cheek brush for higher coverage. I think that the texture made it work for both eyes and cheeks, as it was easy to go in with an eye brush and pick up enough color as an eyeshadow, but it didn't feel like pigmentation-overload on a cheek brush. I also felt like the pans were a bit stiffer brand new but softened after one use.

The pigmentation was mostly semi-opaque to opaque but was blendable, which made it easy to work with on cheeks or eyes. I really thought the formula sat well on skin and had a nice, diffused and smoothing effect with minimal effort. Most shades lasted between eight and nine hours on me before showing signs of fading (whether used as eyeshadow or cheek color).
