Dior Copper Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Copper (439)
Dior Copper (439) 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette ($62.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a new(er), warm-toned palette that included a mix of matte, satin, and shimmer finishes. Four of the five shades were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing, but one shade (#2) was more of a sparkling, top coat, which the brand doesn’t distinguish from the rest. Those who like the effect may find it works for their purposes as that shade is what brought down the overall rating.

Copper #1
Copper #1 is a light-medium, golden bronze with strong, warm undertones and a smooth, metallic sheen. It was richly pigmented with a soft, lightly creamy texture that wasn’t too dense nor too softly-pressed into the pan. It applied evenly and stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.

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).

Copper #2
Copper #2 has a transparent base with flecks of white gold and warmer, pale gold sparkle. It worked more as a sparkling top coat or a wash of shimmer/sparkle rather than a standalone eyeshadow, which may be just fine for some and a deal-breaker for others; I wish Dior had more insight into coverage-level for these types of shades. The texture was more powdery than ideal, which resulted in some fallout during application. It lasted decently for seven and a half hours but had some fallout over time. I would definitely use this one with a setting spray or the like to give it better hold.

Copper #3
Copper #3 is a light orange with warmer undertones and a satin finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation with a soft, lightly powdery texture that applied evenly and blended out well. I found it was faster to fade than average, so I’d recommend using it with a primer underneath. It wore well for seven hours before fading visibly.

The eyeshadow had rich color coverage in a single layer, which adhered well to bare skin and blended out easily. The consistency was smooth, moderately dense but not stiff to work with.

Copper #5
Copper #5 is a darker, taupe-brown with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. It had a soft, lightly powdery texture that had a smidgen of fallout but was mostly controllable. It had opaque pigmentation that applied evenly to my lid and diffused well along the edges without losing its intensity. This shade lasted well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Like the color combo for everyday, basic looks. Not 100% sure I’d buy it at full price, though.
I quite like some of these shades – but Dior always has a problem with the second shade and it would be easy to fix. I think the palette leans a little too orangey for me though.
That light shade is usually the browbone highlight and works well with finger application and a primer. I like them nice and sheer so it works for me.
