One thing I love about Chanel products is the packaging. The simple, glossy black casing with the Chanel logo makes a statement while remaining very classy.
In my experience, Chanel shadows always have wonderful pigmentation and wear really well. Taupe is always in for fall, and I'm excited to wear this all over my lid for a smokey effect! Here's a swatch!
Overall thoughts: It's a fantastic product, but unless you are an extreme taupe lover (such as myself) or looking to splurge $28.50 on an eyeshadow, I do feel like you can find other beautiful taupe shades for a fraction of the price that you would be happy with as well. This product definitely isn't a "must have", just a "nice to have".
What is your favorite taupe eyeshadow?

So pretty! I agree, Satin Taupe on steroids describes this quite well. x

It is pretty. I feel like this looks exactly like a shade in Wet N Wild's Silent Treatment, though.
ReplyDeletecould you consider having a picture of how it looks like all over your eyelid too? sometimes that could help! or get a friend with a darker skin tone to swatch it on their hand. I am Indian so sometimes the colors look different on my skin
ReplyDelete'Ruthless' by Urban Decay, it's a light taupy colour and so gorgeous. 'Tempting Mocha' by Estee Lauder is also a really pretty taupe! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite taupe eyeshadow is of course, the cult favourite satin taupe from MAC.

ReplyDeletei would buy chanel eyeshadows if they didn't give you a little sliver of eyeshadow. the price is insane for the amount you get. nice color though.
