Eye Makeup

The new Chanel Les 4 Ombres Tweed Eyeshadow Palettes have arrived and they are stunning! The collection also features two new Stylo Yeux Waterproof Eyeliners. I have swatches of everything for you today! Available now at Chanel and Nordstrom.

Chanel’s Les 4 Ombres Tweed Eyeshadow palettes are limited-edition inspired by the iconic Chanel tweed pattern. As a long time die hard Chanel fan I feel like these are truly special. They added so many extra special touches from the embossed tweed print on the shadows to the cute small tweed sleeves for each palette!

The shadows are soft and smooth. They have an almost bouncy feel to them. The finish/shimmer varies depending on the palette. Pigment also varies per palette depending on the individual shadow texture, but overall each one has a smooth finish.

01 Tweed Cuivre

01 Tweed Cuivre is my favorite out of all the palettes. It’s also the most shimmery. Colors include a deeper bronze shimmer, a medium bronze, a sandy gold shimmer (my favorite kind of tone) and a sparkley silvery gold topper. This is the palette of my dreams! I live for bronzey gold tones and this one is stunning. Pigment is medium but buildable. It reminds me a little bit of the Charlotte Tilbury Bella Sofia Palette but with different undertones.

02 Tweed Pourpre

02 Tweed Pourpre is a satin finish palette with purple and pink tones. Pigment is medium but with a dense brush you can build color. You can see the shimmer when light hits the skin, but on the eyes it has an almost semi-matte finish. Colors include a soft satin plum, a salmon pink with light pink shimmer, a muted mauve, a deeper plum. I didn’t manage to photograph a look with this one but I really love the look Erin Nicole did onYouTube! If you haven’t checked her out you definitely should!

03 Tweed Fauve

03 Tweed Fauve is a warm toned palette. I have not tried this on the eyes yet but it swatched smoothly and the colors layered well when I swatch tested them. Colors include a deep orange, a shimmery copper gold, satin brown, pretty peach shimmer. The color theme is very warm but has a cozy fall-vibe.

04 Tweed Brun Et Rose

04 Tweed Brun Et Rose is a neutral-cool toned palette with sheer-medium color payoff. You will need to use a dense brush with some layering to have the colors show up with more intensity but I think that is the beauty of this. You can create a soft smokey eye or a more dramatic look by layering more of the deep color.

It pulls more neutral-warm on my arm but on my eyes/face it looks more cool-toned. It has a soft oyster grey pearl (love this!), a warm taupe satin, a pale pink sparkle topper (so pretty) and a deeper cool brown. I packed them on very heavily in the swatch. This is my second favorite.

The color story reminds me of Mystic Eyes (original one with the square pans) and also of Tisse Rivoli. It also seems like it could be a softer less frosty version of Tom Ford Nude Dip.

Look wearing:

• Same base as the look with 01
• Blush: Chanel Joues Contraste Blush in Rose Initiale
• Lip Color: Chanel Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue in 172 Light Mauve

New Stylo Yeux Waterproof

Last I have a look at the two new Stylo Yeux Waterproof Eyeliners ($34 each). Both colors are really beautiful. 52 Cuivre Dore is a copper shimmer and Bois Noir is a soft shimmer brown. Both give a subtle look to the eye. I think they’re beautiful!

I posted an Instagram Reel with video swatches to try and show the colors in action and in different lighting on Instagram. Overall I think the palettes are stunning. For me 01 Tweed Cuivre is the one I would say is a must-have for me because I love the color scheme and shimmer. 04 Tweed Brun Et Rose comes in close second, although I do think it’s dupeable.

02 Tweed Pourpre and 03 Tweed Fauve aren’t really colors I wear, but I do think they are beautiful palettes. I rarely ever wear purples but based on a few past looks I’ve done with purple palettes some of you have said I should wear it more!

You can find the new Chanel Les 4 Ombres Tweed Eyeshadow and new Stylo Yeux Waterproof Eyeliners out now at Chanel.com and Nordstrom.

Collection gifted from Chanel.

Chanel launched new products for the eyes and today I have a Chanel Eye Collection review. There are three new products including:

• Le Volume Stretch de Chanel Mascara ($35) in Noir 10
• Le Liner de Chanel Liquid Liner ($35 each) available in 7 shades
• La Palette Sourcils Brow Wax/Powder Duos ($50 each) available in 3 shades

La Palette Sourcils Brow Wax/Powder Duos

There are three La Palette Sourcils Brow Wax/Powder Duos in Light, Medium and Dark. These come with a tinted wax on one side and a powder on the other. The Brow Duos are cased in a compact with four mini tools including a tweezer, spoolie, angled brush and soft small sponge applicator. I tried Medium which is a neutral medium brown color. The wax is soft and easy to apply with the angled brush. It’s been a long time since I’ve tried a wax and this had enough color to wear alone. It filled in my brows and held them in place. The powder is interesting to me. It’s a stiff but pigmented powder. It’s more pigmented than the older brow duos. I haven’t tried a small detail applicator before – most of my brow brushes are angled. The small applicator made it easy to apply in soft strokes although since the handles are so small it took a bit of work to hold. The pros for the applicators are they are compact and easy to travel with. They are usable and well made although full size brushes and tools are easier to hold and use for me.

Lasting power is very good. I didn’t experience any fading or smudging. The brows stayed put all day long!

Le Liner de Chanel Liquid Liner

Out of the three items in this launch I found the Le Liner de Chanel Liquid Liners to be the most exciting to me! They launched some of the most beautiful shimmers I’ve ever seen! These dry down to a semi-matte finish although the shimmers still have a slightly wet look because of the shimmer. The brush is well designed to apply in one stroke or a feathering motion. I found these took a few seconds to dry depending on how thick a line you draw on. Formula is thin but smooth and very pigmented. Once it sets it does not budge. As one who struggles with pencil liners during the summer months I was really excited to see a brown and plum matte – I think they’ll be excellent for the warm humid months.

Le Volume Stretch de Chanel Mascara

Last is a look at the Le Volume Stretch de Chanel Mascara. This comes in one color and has a rubber twisted brush. I think this is a decent formula to lengthen and define the lashes. The brush did take a bit of practice for me to get used to because of the angles but it’s not impossible to use. It miraculously did not smudge even though it didn’t really hold the curl. I like it a lot but it’s not my favorite. I still think the classic Le Volume de Chanel is the best for me (or the waterproof version). It was easy to remove since it’s not a waterproof formula. Since it did not smudge on me I give it a thumbs up.

Just for fun my little ragdoll buddy keeping me company. He doesn’t like to take photos lol! He’s 7 years old now and I cannot believe it.

Overall a solid line of eye makeup staples. I think the liquid liners are special because of the color selection. I really like the brow duo because of the wax and compact but don’t think it’s essential. The verdict is still out on the mascara because I think it’s really good but I think there are better options.

You can find the Chanel Eye Collection out now, available at Chanel.com and all Chanel retailers.

P.S. Some of the Les Beiges items already popped up on the website and I ordered the two Les Beiges Highlighting Fluids. Also as of today (Tuesday) the Le Blanc Rosy Light Drops just restocked online! (Rosy Light Drops review here in case you missed it).
