Chanel Warms It Up with the Plein Soleil Eyeshadow Quad - Makeup and Beauty Blog
To quote '90s rap duo Kris Kross (aka the kids who pioneered the backwards vesture thing), "Warm it upward, Kris! (I'm near to.) Warm it up, Kris! ('cause that'south what I was born to do.)"
Keeping with the theme, Chanel's Plein Soleil ($56) eyeshadow quad from the 2009 Cote D'Azur collection is all about warmer shades.
It packs iv warm, shimmery shades — a nifty bronze, lite coral, dark orange-brown and a calorie-free peachy coral — that I dig using individually in light washes of color over the chapeau, especially for understated and elegant glows in summer looks, but beyond their use in uncomplicated washes, the colors in this quad aren't setting my world on burn down.
Why?
They aren't the most flexible colors in town.
When I tried to turn up their intensify past layering them higher up MAC'south Pigment Pots or by wetting my brush before awarding, the colors looked overly orangish and weren't the well-nigh flattering products I've used on my skin.
And the departure betwixt the two lighter shades is subtle — near too subtle for me. If you're lighter than I am, I'one thousand guessing yous'll take an easier time distinguishing the nuances between them, but on my tan skin the two lighter shades look very much the same.
Fifty-fifty though this quad isn't as flexible as I'd hoped it would be, its saving grace is how well it works for light washes, either when I'm pressed for time or when it's warm outside. When information technology's warm out I don't ever want to wear a complicated eye look that may smear equally I perspire.
Knowing what it does do well, I know I'll get some use out of Plein Soleil. 🙂
