Chanel Légèreté et Expérience Eyeshadow Quad Review & Swatches

Légèreté et Expérience

Chanel Légèreté et Expérience Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow ($61.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a new, limited edition all-matte quad featuring a coral, peach, red, and mid-tone brown. All four shades were fairly pigmented and lasted between seven and eight hours, though I had some trouble diffusing and blending out the red shade. I know readers were concerned about overlap with the Candeur et Experience quad, and I think the red and brown are similar enough, but the top two shades in Candeur et Experience aren’t replicated in this quad.

Légèreté et Expérience #1

Légèreté et Expérience #1 is a light-medium coral with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good color coverage in a single with a smooth, velvety texture that wasn’t too powdery nor too firmly pressed in the pan. It applied evenly to bare skin and blended out easily. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me before fading.

Légèreté et Expérience #2

Légèreté et Expérience #2 is a soft peach with warm, orange undertones and a matte finish. The pigmentation was opaque, while the consistency was soft, smooth, and a touch powdery in the pan. There was some sheering out when it was blended, though. It lasted nicely for seven and a half hours on me.

Légèreté et Expérience #3

Légèreté et Expérience #3 is a deeper, coppery red with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had a firmer, stiffer texture that made it harder to pick up product, so it wasn’t fully pigmented, and more of a challenge to apply evenly. It took extra effort to diffuse along the edges for a more seamless blend. This shade stayed on well for seven and a half hours on me.
