5 Couleurs Eyeshadow
Only 3 good shadows
I have this in undress 647 and I’m not too impressed with some of the shades for the price. The iconic layout of these 5 eyeshadows is still the same, yet it seems to have shrunk down and looks very small in my hand. You don’t get much product for the price.The palette itself is...
I have this in undress 647 and I’m not too impressed with some of the shades for the price. The iconic layout of these 5 eyeshadows is still the same, yet it seems to have shrunk down and looks very small in my hand. You don’t get much product for the price.The palette itself is bigger though, with a generous sized mirror, but that’s only to accommodate the two cheap foam sponge applicators (one is tipped with a sad wispy brush). Nobody ever uses these, not even in a emergency. The peachy pink and ivory shadows are a huge disappointment. The shades have no colour payoff at all. Maybe they’d look good on darker skin tones, but on my lighter skin, I might as well be applying fresh air to my lids. These two shades are a little more chalky.They are really so poor, I consider this a three shadow palette.So that’s the bad news out-of-the-way, the good news is that the other three shades are beautiful.Dior’s eyeshadows have always been strongly pigmented and these cool brown tones are no exception. My favourite shade is the beautiful dark brown one. It’s a strong colour (looks a tiny bit shimmery, but it isn’t on the eye) and a little goes a long way. I use this for the outer corners of my eyes and the tiniest amount on the crease. Admittedly, it does kick off a bit of dust in the pan, but it’s worth it for the colour and the intensity.It was an expensive mistake at £47.50 for three eyeshadows – £15.00 per eyeshadow which is expensive! But, those three eyeshadows are perfection.These shades have restored my faith in Dior eyeshadows quality, smoothness of application, longevity and non creasing. I do love this but it’s to expensive for only 3 good shadows.
