Chanel Les 4 Ombres #232 Tissé Vénitien, Swatches, Comparison & FOTD

After swatching all the eight new eye shadow quads from Chanel, without loosing time I started playing around with them. The first one I got to try out, #232 Tissé Vénitien, must be one of the most beautiful green quads I own to date...

Let me start by saying that I was not expecting all that much from the new quads because I had bad experience with the old formula and before those were released, I promised myself not to get another one of the old baked ones, like ever. Did they hear me? In one way or another my wish was granted and here it is, looks baked but it is not, or is it? The ingredients are very close to Asia/Chanel.com Exclusive quads such as Delicatesse (reviewed here) or Jardin Zen (reviewed recently here) but I would say these are even better in terms of pigmentation. 

I especially liked the complexity of the metallic shades. Look at that greenish taupe, isn't that gorgeous? I am not going to list all the shades once more since I have done it before. Instead let me talk about how it felt during application. I used a dense Hakuhodo brush (G5507) and applied them dry over Nars Pro-prime. Building up color was very easy. I didn't experience any fall out during application. 

I applied the pink shade at inner corner, taupe from 1/3 of the lid outwards. Then I deepened the corner and the crease with teal shade and deepened them further with the deepest shade from the quad. 

I combined this eye makeup with yet to be released Dior Fluid Stick in Mirage (swatched here) on lips and Chanel Creme Blush Chamade (reviewed here) on cheeks.

Tissé Vénitien reminded me of one of my other beloved green quads, Dior Bonne Etoile from Mystic Metallics Collection (Fall 2013) so I brought them side by side and swatched four closest shade of the quint (I left out the center brown shade).

These two palettes have a similar metallic and green combination to them, but for me they are still different enough to justify owning both. If you don't own any of them (and considering to get one, since Bonne Etoile is still available in Germany) my pick would be Tissé Vénitien because the deeper shade has less shimmer and taupe is more metallic and complex.

A last point, longevity. I was very much impressed. I put the make up on at 8 am and at 8 pm it was still intact until I decided to remove it. I have to say though I don't have oily lids so your mileage may vary. 

Final thoughts: No fall out, check. Longevity, check. Pigmentation, check. Complexity of shades, check. Versatility, check. Ease of application, check. I would say this might be my favorite of the bunch but wait until I try the other three... 

Another green quad? Yay or nay?
