Ocean Light (122)

Chanel Ocean Light (122) Illusion d'Ombre Eyeshadow ($36.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a brighter, medium blue with fine blue glitter. It's hard to describe why this ended up being such an atrocious product, because even in the pot, it doesn't feel half as dry as it looks on the skin. It's so splotchy and uneven; it applies and barely wants to blend out. I think the only way to salvage it is to use it as a base and layer much more opaque colors over it, but there are better products out there for that purpose. The color lasted for eight hours before creasing, but I had fall out over time. MAC Switch to Blue (LE, $22.00) is darker (95% similar). LORAC Blue Quartz (LE, $19.00) is more shimmery (90% similar).

Stila Lapis (LE, $18.00) is less shimmery, warmer (90% similar). Buxom Bulldog (P, $18.00) is darker (90% similar). Make Up For Ever I218 Indigo Blue (DC, $21.00) is darker (90% similar). LORAC Cobalt (LE, $19.00) is darker (85% similar). Fenty Beauty Midnight Bolt (LE, ) is more shimmery, lighter, brighter (85% similar). Anastasia Azure (LE, $12.00) is darker, cooler (85% similar).
