Dior Bayadere (479) Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Bayadere (479)
Dior Bayadere (479) 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette ($62.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a new, limited edition summer palette that included four shades with varying degrees of shimmer (satin to pearl) and one true matte shade. They were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing while being easy enough to use, though they are not nearly as metallic/high in shimmer as most offerings these days so would be nice for those who prefer less intense shimmer eyeshadows.

Formula Overview
-
The formula is supposed to have a "creamy and comfortable texture" that is long-wearing and has "intense color" (or "high-pigment"). There are five finishes that can be found within various palettes: matte, satin, shimmer, metallic, highlighter, and glitter, though there aren't specific descriptions by finish, unfortunately.
There were a few shades that seemed more sparkly and were sheerer, more like layering shades, while the other finishes tended to be pigmented. In general, the texture was moderately dense with the matte shades being slightly thinner and a smidgen powdery in the pan compared to the satin, shimmer, and metallic shades.
Aside from those more sparkly shades, the formula was blendable, pigmented, easy to work with, and lasted an average of eight hours on me (without a primer).

Those who prefer less intense shimmer eyeshadows – that’s me! This looks very very very tempting.
Glad this rated well but entirely too warm for me and just not shades I’m attracted to, except for #2 which I can easily dupe.
This is a really beautiful palette. If it was at all within my budget I would consider buying it.
No doubt, this is a lovely quint. Especially a work-friendly or everyday warmer neutral one.
Good for bringing on a vacation, too!
IDK … this lacks something for me. I’m also not keen on the ‘stripes’.
