Dior Devilish High Fidelity Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Devilish
Dior Devilish High Fidelity Colours & Effects Eyeshadow Palette ($63.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a limited edition set of five shades that released earlier in the year as part of the fall collection. The formula was decent but certainly not the best I’ve tried, by Dior or otherwise, though I’ll say it was certainly a more interesting color combination. (Personally, that paler pink did not incorporate well with the other four to me due to the undertone of the pink.) It’s still available at some retailers, and as holiday season winds down, I had a moment to finally test this one!

LELimited Edition. $63.00.
Devilish #1
Devilish #1 is a medium gold with strong, warm yellow undertones and a soft, pearly sheen. It had opaque pigmentation with a smooth, denser consistency that wasn’t too firmly-pressed in the pan but also didn’t feel that cream-like. It applied evenly and blended out well along the edges. This shade stayed on nicely for eight hours on me.

Devilish #2
Devilish #2 is a pale pink with subtle, cool undertones and a satin sheen. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a slightly dusty, drier texture that was more prone to sheering out when applied to my eye area. It lasted well for seven and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

LELimited Edition.
Devilish #3
Devilish #3 is a faded, medium-dark gold with hints of warm, olive undertones and a satin sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was more muted than it appeared in the pan; the only way to get true-to-pan color was to use it with a dampened brush, which also helped it to adhere more evenly as I felt I had to pack and press it on a bit more when I tried to use it with a dry brush. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me before I noticed fading.

Devilish #4
Devilish #4 is a medium-dark reddened plum with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had good color coverage that adhered well to bare skin and blended out easily along the edges, though I felt like the brightness muted as it sat on my lid for a few minutes. The texture was smooth to the touch, firm but not stiff to work with, and had no powderiness. It stayed on well for seven and a half hours on me.

Oh, wow. And not in a good way. Thought Dior had really tweaked up their 5-pan formula last year, but that isn’t so evident in this quint. Except for shades #1, #4 and #5. Not good enough to drop $63 on, though.
I quite like the color combo.
When Dior gets their shadows right, I’m always so happy. This one though – not so great and I find the colour grouping to be really quite odd. I like #3 and #5 but that’s all.
Love the color combo.
I don’t like the colour combination at all, why two golds in a 5 pan? The pink shade is definitely the odd one out too – I agree with you Christine. And the performance of a few of the shades is average. Nope Dior.
Pretty color combination but the swatches look like it has weak-fair pigmentation. For the price they should be all popping!
Yes, that pale pink is very odd. I think a green would’ve been much better, it will go well with the brown and gold shadows. And with ed and green in the same palette, would look very Christmassy
Yeah, I think it’s an interesting color combo but the pink doesn’t seem to work to my eye… even having an open mind etc. about color pairings.
The colours remind me of my beloved ‘Harmonie du Soir’ quad from Chanel from 6 years ago. But that one is, even now, still better quality then this Dior quint, from what I can tell.
I really love this color combination, but it wouldn’t work on me, which is good, because it’s too expensive anyway!
(I also love the way it’s designed to look like sewn leather.)
I love the pressed pattern quite a lot.
Very “pretty” color scheme, don’t see how the name fits it though. The pigmentation doesn’t come through on the look though, so for the price this is a easy “NO-GO” for me.
