This palette is similar to Lumiere Tendresse only it is more brown. I normally don’t reach for it because it looks too brown to me, but then this morning the blush surprised me because it looks peach on. It has quite a bit of shimmer in it. It goes to show I should wear it more often to be more familiar with it.
In this palette, the right side has darker colors; the left has lighter. The brown in the left looks quite similar to the brown in LT.
I’m not real crazy about how much red pulls in the brown. I prefer a more taupe brown, the way it shows on the eye to your left.
I worked with the right side of the palette with the exception of using a bit of the shimmery gloss from the left.
Eyes:
Base: Trish McEvoy Eye Base Essentials — very light beige, followed by my shadow mix
Lids: Peach
Crease and outer edges: Medium Brown
Brows: La Prairie pencil
Mascara: Guerlain Le 2 Black
Lined upper with MAC graphblack
Lined lower with MAC graphblack, followed by earthline below that
Drylined top and lower with medium brown from the palette.
Face:
Primer: Avon Magix
Foundation: Revlon Age Defying Spa Fair (free during the rebate at Walgreens)
The brush applicator is very nice. I use my fingers to blend. It can be closed off.
Powder: my sparkly mix followed by Chanel Roselight
Concealer: Mary Kay #2
Blush: from palette
Lips:
I notice the longer this is on, the better it looks. It needs to meld, evidently.
Mostly from right side of the palette, with some of the left gloss which is shimmery over the right gloss, which is not.
Sally Hansen invisible liner on the outside (on sale this week at CVS.) Works good!
It looks striking, as most Chanel does, when it is done, but while I am doing it, I am questioning why I chose to use it! I need to remember that with these palettes.

Personally, I think the eyeliner is too dark on you – makes your eyes look small. The lip color makes your lips look like they are not well-defined – too shiny and too pale. And you should darken your eyebrows and let them grow in a bit – will make you look younger!
I really don’t care for this set on me.
That’s the natural shape of my eyebrows. There’s nothing to grow, LOL. I’ve had them dark and they were mismatched to my hair. As I said in another post, I need a brow guru.
