Dior Mirror Mirror (659) Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Mirror Mirror (659)
Dior Mirror Mirror (659) 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette ($62.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a new, limited edition neutral color story that included four satin-to-pearl finish shades and one matte shade. All of the eyeshadows were pigmented, long-wearing, and blendable, though the matte shade could have been a bit easier to work with overall.

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).

A solid NO for me….just too orange and ugly on my eyes. The only shade I like is #4 and I’ve got at least 2 dupes of that colour (ha! what a shocker!)
It’s the only shade that I really like in this palette. I did think of you when I saw it. 🙂
I could probably use all but the orangey shade, but for the price of the Dior quints all the shades have to be perfect for me.
LOL, Helene. I think those of us who’ve been here for a while maybe know one another’s tastes quite well! In the Dior Jungle 5-pan, there is a similar shade but with that one, all the colours work well for me and, as you say, at Dior’s prices, every shadow needs to be a winner.
Shade #5 reads so differently swatched, but with its deep reddish u/t’s and cooler temp is very interesting to me. Price wise, the compact is too expensive for one shadow, but I would love it for use as a liner or outer corner.
Geesh, this is so very “me” on a more neutral day! But, then I have to remind myself that I likely have shades that may be just similar enough? Though not in this beautiful pearlescent satin finish!
Like Mariella above, this quint is way too orangey for me. If those shades had been a copper or a bronze, it would have worked. The olive green inclusion makes for a good contrasting shade.
I love these autumnal kind of shades. Right up my alley.
