RE-DISCOVERY| Christian Dior 5-Couleurs Eyeshadow Compact in 080 Basic Chic

The Christian Dior 5-Couleurs Eyeshadow Compact** in 080 Basic Chic is my first eyeshadow quint I ever got. It's a very basic quint, great for everyday.

 Contrary to what you see in the pan, the colors look different when applied to my lids. They more or less resemble one another. That was one of the cons I had with this product. However, it applies very smoothly and pigmented without patches. They are very blendable even though they are matte shades (the ivory color on the bottom left is satin finish but doesn't look glittery or too shimmery when applied).

I like using the top left color all over my lids with a bit of the ivory shade in my inner corners as a highlight for a simple look. 

From Left to Right: Taupe (Middle color), Golden Brown (Top left color), Dark Brown (Top right color), Light Taupe (Bottom right color), Ivory (Bottom left color)

It is discontinued I think but I don't think it's a necessary one to have with all the great neutral palettes out there AND at more affordable prices.

(Swatched in natural light) -->Taupe (Middle color), Golden Brown (Top left color), Dark Brown (Top right color), Light Taupe (Bottom right color), Ivory (Bottom left color)

Here's a look I created using all the colors in the quint. It looks darker and more dramatic than in real life because I was competing with the dying sun >.<

I used the top left color all over the lid, the bottom right color in the crease, the middle color in the outer corner, the top right color as a liner, and the bottom right in the inner corner. I also added a nude liner in my waterline and Benefit's They're Real! Mascara on my top lashes.

So that's it for this post! I hope you enjoyed it :)

XOXO,

MWAH ♡
