Round-up: Chanel Les 4 Ombres Eyeshadow Quads (Fall 2014) Overview & Thoughts
Chanel Les 4 Ombres Eyeshadow Quads
Chanel Les 4 Ombres Mutli Effect Eyeshadow Palette ($61.00 for 0.07 oz.) is the newest eyeshadow formula and launch from the brand for fall. They’ve introduced eight quads–all are new and joining the permanent line-up–plus one limited edition variation (Poesie, which I do not have). The quality is consistent across the board; no quad scored below A- (two A-s, six As), which was very impressive. It is a huge improvement over the traditional baked formula of past Chanel quads, and it is more consistent than Chanel’s regular (U.S.) eyeshadow formula. The eyeshadows are soft and blendable, which makes them pretty easy to use and apply.

I purchased Tisse Venitien and wore it 3 days in a row to try 3 different looks and wanted to wear it every day since. It’s right up there with (and it kills me to say this) and maybe even a little better quality than Marc Jacobs Siren. Yep, I said it. I’m blonde and blue eyed so the colors are perfect for me. It’s 100% LOVE. The video of it on the Chanel website totally sold me.
That’s the sign of an amazing buy! So happy you’re loving it, Michelle.
I picked up Tisse Venitien, too, and I agree that it’s just lovely! Very versatile – I can do everything from a worksafe neutral to a date night smokey eye. I think it’s a quad that will really sing on cooler toned complexions in particular. (For reference, I’m an NW10/15 with brown hair and brown eyes with a touch to green in them.)
Ahh, every time I pass by the Chanel counter in S&C’s (which I kind of make it a point to do, LOL), I swatch at least one of these 😀 Venitien and Cambon are my favourites, I think!
Do you think you’ll indulge sometime, Sylirael? 🙂
Ill keep my eyes open for Tisse Rivoli then! Anyways at max I can get one.. why not get the recommendation 😉
At least they are permanent so there is no rush and you can debate over it!
The quality of these was unexpected and nice to see! I think Rivoli was my favourite too, but I didn’t like it on my own eyes (though it was hard to tell because the mua at chanel decided to give me super thick eyeliner all around that made me look like a kid that raided their mothers makeup collection…)
Vendome is nice too, and might work better on me if the coral shade doesn’t look too reddish on.
I think you should be OK with the coral shade in Vendome — but fingers crossed!
They’re all pretty awesome, but Tisse Vendome and Tisse Cambon have an edge for me 🙂
Great picks! 🙂
Christine, do you know if these are meant to replace the regular quads, or are they going to be sold alongside them?
No idea – it has always been very hard to get info on discontinuation plans from Chanel 🙁
That’s too bad. I guess I better go pick up the old quads that has been on my wishlist, then. Thanks anyway!
Seeing that your personal favorite out of all of them is Tisse Rivoli, now I’m tempted to either get that for myself or a gift for my mom or sister for the holidays! I already have Tisse Mademoiselle and Tisse Vendome so I’m not sure I *need* Rivoli, but boy is it tempting, haha! May I ask, Christine, if Rivoli is your personal favorite due to the texture, the colors, or both?
Hi Carolyn!
Both – it’s the one that I liked best on me, had good quality, and felt like the one that just… resonated with me most deeply 🙂 It’s usually a combination of what I like in terms of color, texture, quality, finish, and sometimes being more unique or interesting can overcome drawbacks in quality.
I am dying here, Christine. I want two of them and have been agonizing for a week over which two. I can’t decide!
Aww! What’s in your top 4?
Top three: Rivoli, Gabrielle,and Venitien
I want Cambon too but I think it would be better for spring. Christine, do you have suggestions for blush and lip colors for Rivoli?
I feel like just about anything goes with Rivoli, since it is more neutral/brown-based. I’d probably pair it with a plum blush + lip for fall!
Great choices!
I’m planning to get Rivoli next. I have Gabrielle and the cool tones are so wearable for me and perfect for fall. Now, having read Michelle’s praise for Venitien, it’s back on my “want” list (I’d sort of managed to talk myself out of it…alas, that didn’t last). So glad these are permanent – less pressure to spend a bundle all at once.
Venitien is one of the more popular ones from what I can gather (comments/reviews)!
I thought they all had promise but they are so expensive!
Very true – they are pricey 🙁
I really love the cool toned palettes. These are gorgeous and have the kind of colours I most wear. It’s great that their formula has improved and is worth the money spent. Thanks Christine for the review.
My pleasure, Genevieve 🙂 Any favorites?
Gosh, I love CHANEL quads so much! I’m dying since all these have such high ratings and it’s only a matter of time before I cave!
Which one do you like most?
Have my eye on Gabrielle – I am NC/NW 20 blue eyes blonde hair – but I want two. Thinking about Posie but not sure – going tomorrow – For blue eyes any recommendations? They all look lovely on you-you really know how to blend them – they look like a painting on your eyes. So beautiful – best eyeshadows that Chanel has come out with in a long time. I do have almost all of the other quads – like I really need these – YES
Correction – I am NC 25 in foundation and NW 20 in concealer. Just got back from the beach and it was a hot one. Thanks for all your reviews
Venitien would be nice on blue eyes!
Thanks – I never did pick any up as my friend said she has a surprise for my bday so I am sure its one or two of these – will see after tomorrow – but I did discover Chanel has some new brushes out? Had no idea – picked up 2 – the blender # 19 and the small eyeshadow # 15 – which has always been available online but not in dept stores. Since these are permanent I can wait till next week – I hope!
Happy birthday! 🙂
thank god these are permanent
for sure i want one of these but will wait them to launch ,swatch and then buy
Good idea 🙂
I love chanel palettes! The colors are amazing especially the bold!
What’s your favorite Chanel palette?
I finally had a look at them in person, yesterday. After looking I swatched Cambon, and I really, really liked it. Good that it’s permanent so I have time to try to plan and think through my makeup purchases. As if I could, but for now it’s just on my list.
Happy to hear that Cambon caught your eye! 🙂
