Chanel Lumieres Naturelles Eyeshadow Quad Review & Swatches

Lumieres Naturelles

Chanel Lumieres Naturelles Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow ($62.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a soft, warm-toned neutral quad featuring three hues of light to mid-tone brown and a dirty gold. I wish the lighter, matte brown was more blendable (it really should be for the color it is and how it fits in the color story), while the mid-tone shimmery brown could have held its intensity better. These seemed to fade a little faster than some of the more recent Chanel quads have on me as well, so I would highly recommend an eyeshadow primer if considering this product.

It is currently sold out through Chanel online, but it may be restocked or found in-store (I don’t have an official press release for this launch).

Lumieres Naturelles #1

Lumieres Naturelles #1 is a dirty, medium-dark gold with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had good pigmentation but needed a second layer when applied to my lid due to the product sheering out and looking a bit muted/dusty without a second pass of product. The texture was soft, finely-milled, and blendable on my skin. It lasted well for seven and a half hours on me.

Lumieres Naturelles #2

Lumieres Naturelles #2 is a light brown with stronger, warm yellow undertones and a matte finish. The color payoff was opaque in one layer, while the texture was soft, silky, and a little powdery in the pan. It didn’t blend out quite as nicely as I expected along the edge, so I had to spend a little longer working with this shade. It stayed on well for seven and a half hours on me before fading visibly.

Lumieres Naturelles #4

Lumieres Naturelles #4 is a medium brown with warm, golden undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in one layer when applied to my lid (it swatched a bit better than it appeared in practice) but had slight fallout and some dustiness. I noticed this shade seemed to dull down and look a bit lighter after a few minutes, so it ended up looking very similar to the light and mid-tone matte browns with respect to depth and made the quad less versatile. It lasted nicely for seven and a half hours on me before it started to fade.
