Packaging is standard Chanel. I like this palette for travelling because it's protective, not too bulky, and light. The large mirror is also handy.
When it comes to eyeshadow, I'm a neturals girl all the way. I enjoy seeing bright and more adventurous colors on other people (and dabbling in them myself from time to time!), but when I'm sleepily applying my makeup at 6:00 AM in the morning, I tend to just stick to what I know works on me.
This palette comes with 5 colors that I can create almost any eye look with. The pans are unlabeled, so I'll describe them from left to right:
- A shimmery, light pinky-beige highlight. This one is very close to my skin tone and is nearly invisible in my swatch picture. The shimmer is lovely, though! Useful for the inner 1/3 of my eye and in the inner corners.
- A matte, neutral/slightly warm brown. Perfect for adding natural depth to the crease.
- A sparkly, coppery brown. Contains a fair amount of gold shimmer. My personal fave! I'll be using this as an all-over lid color.
- A matte darker brown. I imagine this one might lean a little warm on other skin tones, but it looks very neutral on my skin. This would be good for darkening the outer 1/3 of the eye.
- A matte, dark purpley grey. This one is interesting - not quite purple, not quite grey/taupe. I love lining my eyes with this.
Overall, I find the pigmentation and lasting power to be quite good. Not mindblowingly, Earth-shatteringly amazing, but definitely above average and perfect for everyday use. The things I like most about this palette are its perfect combination of colors, travel-friendly packaging, and solid quality. Plus, who doesn't like a little luxury in the things they reach for the most?
