Have being inherited single-edged eyelid feature, that applying powdery eye shadow has almost never my makeup characteristic. While Chanel Les 4 Ombres #232 Tissé Vénitien a cooler-toned set of shades where pewter and green dominate, I am highly interested in the inclusion of the peach shade, with a good seasonal sale price, I would like to transform my facial expression yet another summer vibe.
#1 Ombre Shade is a muted, dirty green-teal with a frosted finish, which has subtle cool undertones. The texture felt soft while applying and the colour coverage was mostly opaque. #2 Ombre Shade a platinum khaki, owning a slightly dirty but neutral toned pewter with a blend of silver and antique gold. The texture was slightly powdery yet has a really hypnotizing sparkle payoff.
#3 Illumine Highlight is peachy-pink with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It offers mostly opaque color coverage, though it is close enough to my skin tone still the shining powder gives an eye pop effect. #4 Intensifie Intensify is described as a cool-toned, dark forest green with a pearly sheen. The fine pigmentation applies evenly and smoothly to my skin. I like to, according to my tone of outfits and daily emotion, employ the entire squad onto my eyelid as base, and then complete with Bobbie Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner Duo in cobalt ink (dark cobalt blue)/thunderstorm (dark forest green). All the 4 colours wore perfectly well for at least 8 hours before starting to fade slightly.
As for the photography main setting, I adopt Chanel accessories mini shopping bag and camellia flower brooch due to the bleak darkness of coated paper bag matches the Les 4 Ombres palette, and the dark cobalt blue of tweed camellia brooch echoes #4 Intensifie Intensif, also the hue of Chanel Ombre Première #818 Urban Satin. For my daily cosmetic pouch, which are usually equipped with Chanel Le Lift eye sérum and hydra micro serum, Le Volume mascara #90 Noir Khôl completes the eye makeups after applying any colour from Les 4 Ombres #232 Tissé Vénitien, indeed 1,5 ml Gabrielle Chanel Eau de Parfum is never missed. These essentials are both practical to carry and photogenic on the photography setting.
For the tweed camellia flower brooch and 2018 Christmas packaging acetate Camellia, the synonymous with Coco Chanel, that I adore the way how Coco Chanel’s personal touch is reinterpreted and transformed in various materials, thus I always love to collect the remarkable versions to assist the photo shootings. Camellia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae, found in eastern and southern Asia, from the Himalayas east to Japan and Indonesia. Known for its perfect symmetry, it evokes feelings of everlasting beauty, the camellia flowers have come to symbolise desire, passion and refinement. Coco Chanel was given the first bouquet of camellias by her lover, Boy Capel, she started pinning silk versions to her lapels ever since. Also known as the Chinese rose of winter, the camellia blooms in the winter yet never loses its leaves. It is an unscented flower, which was another reason Coco Chanel preferred this flower over the others, as it did not interfere with her signature eau de parfum, No. 5.
Understated elegance and timeless appeal, Chanel Les 4 Ombres #232 Tissé Vénitien and these lovely versions can carry all.
