by request: fotd using the chanel ombres perlees palette


FACE: NARS Sheer Glow (Mont Blanc), YSL Touche Eclat (under eyes), YSL pressed powder, Tokidoki Siberia blush, YSL Metallic Colorama face highlighter

EYES: Chanel Ombres Perlees palette (pink shade on lid/brow highlight/inner corners, green shade in crease),  MAC On the Hunt superslick liner, MAC I Get No Kick eye kohl, UD Sin 24/7 shadow pencil (inner corners), MAC Lingering brow pencil, Lancome Hypnose Drama mascara

LIPS: YSL Rouge Volupte #19 Frivolous Pink




I was also wearing the Chanel Ombres Perlees palette here and here if you're interested. :) I think it's a beautiful palette - the texture of the shadows is super soft and they all have a unique, pearly/shimmery finish (if you prefer mattes, this probably isn't for you). One thing I will say about it is that it's not something I reach for every day - some days it's just too frosty for me.  But whenever I do reach for it, I'm not disappointed! :)

Hope this was helpful if you've been lemming this palette!

Thanks for reading!

  2. I likey! In all honesty, I think I like the idea of the palette more than I would actually like the palette. I don't go for frosty eyeshadows that much but for some reason, I can't get over how utterly amazing the palette looks! Love the green shade on you.

    P.S. Are you wearing your RV over the Burt's Bees??

  3. Thanks ladies!

    Tiffany - I don't go for frosty shadows either, which I why I don't reach for it as much as I wish I did! They also require a little more work/building up than other shadows. I don't think the dark shades are as frosty as the two on the left, though, but still are not low maintenance. I do love the look of the palette and I'm happy to have it, but I wouldn't say it's a must-have. :)

    Also, NO I FORGOT! Trust me, I remembered the second I looked in the mirror about an hour later and realized the color was gone! haha
