Cruise Look (022)

Dior Cruise Look (022) 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette ($62.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a new(er), warm-toned neutral color story with finishes that ranged from pearl to metallic. It was a lighter-leaning palette without a darker matte to add depth, so it may not work for everyone as a standalone palette.

Cruise Look #1

Cruise Look #1 is a light, rosy brown with warm undertones and fine pink and gold pearl. It had semi-opaque color coverage that was buildable when applied over a primer. The texture was soft, finely-milled, and a touch dusty in the pan but blendable. It wore well for seven and a half 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).

Cruise Look #2

Cruise Look #2 is a bright, pale pink with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had mostly opaque pigmentation, which was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The texture was moderately dense, slightly firmer, so there was no powderiness of fallout, but it still picked up readily with a dry brush. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.
