Wild Brown (529)

Dior Wild Brown (529) 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 matte to frost. It performed well overall with a few shades that could have been smoother or more refined in texture, which would be easily helped by a primer.

Wild Brown #1

Wild Brown #1 is a soft, yellowed peach with warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was smooth, finely-milled, and velvety with a hint of powderiness. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that stayed on well for seven hours, so it was a shade I’d recommend pairing with a primer for better wear.

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).

Wild Brown #3

Wild Brown #3 is a light, peachy brown with a satiny sheen. The eyeshadow was richly pigmented with a smooth, moderately dense texture that was still thin and finely-milled, which made it easy to pick up and to blend out. This shade wore nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Wild Brown #4

Wild Brown #4 is a muted, medium-dark red with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. The consistency was smooth, firmer but not stiff to work with, so there was no powderiness while the eyeshadow blended out easily on my skin. It had opaque color coverage that stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Wild Brown #5

Wild Brown #5 is a deep, reddish-brown with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color payoff, but the texture was slightly firmer and stiffer, so I had to use a heavier hand to pick up product evenly. Thankfully, blending it out wasn’t an issue. There were signs of fading visible after eight hours of wear.
