Back in March Chanel discontinued some of their eye shadow palettes in Europe and released eight new palettes. I am really hooked into their new formula. The more I try it, the more I love it. A few days ago the new quads started appearing at counters all around the world, so I decide to share my thoughts on the ones I haven't reviewed yet. You can check out the previous reviews here:
Today I would like to write about the blue palette of the new line, #224 Tissé Riviera.

| Chanel Les 4 Ombres #224 Tissé Riviera |
Most of the eight new palettes are presenting a natural to warm color selection but Ice Queens out there will certainly like #224 Tissé Riviera with its blue and silver tones.

The finish of Tissé Riviera is similar to that of Tisse Venitien and Tisse Rivoli with a lovely metallic but not over the top touch on two main shades. Deepest shades has satin to matte finish which is great for definition as well as a liner. The shades in the palette manage to stay not too pastel nor too grey/classical smokey.

Top left: Medium blue with grey undertones and metallic finish. Although the shade of blue is close to being pastel, the metallic finish gives it an extra dimension and turns it into a complex lovely shade of blue.
Top right: Very light pink with satin finish. It is great for highlight on the inner corner as well as under the brow bone.
Bottom left: Light slate grey/silver with metallic finish.
Bottom right: Very deep cool black with satin to matte finish. This shade of black is one of the best I own at the moment, the texture is great and it is very pigmented and deep.

Below I used the blue shade from middle to outer lid and silver at inner to middle upper lid. I then defined the look with the black on the crease, which I used sparingly. I blended the crease with the light pink and dusted a little bit of that under the brow bone. I combined this look with Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Liner in LSD along the upper lash line and Chanel Le Volume Mascara on upper and lower lashes.

Here is the whole look with some other make-up on my face but I don't remember what exactly they were... It has been almost a month, so I hope you excuse me for that. If you are especially curious about something, I can try to find it out. With these cool blue grey eyes, I like wearing light blush and nude lips with some warmth to it, like apricot tones. I think this way the whole look gets more neutral than cool.

| FOTD: Chanel Les 4 Ombres #224 Tissé Riviera |
I have recently received e-mails from readers asking about comparisons between the texture of quads from different brands. I can safely say that I like Chanel's formula much more than YSL's new formula which, to me, is a little too soft and has tendency of blending itself to nothing. Chanel's formula though is soft and creamy but it stays put and different shades show up wonderfully. I also like the color concepts of Chanel's Quads more.

Final thoughts: Another thumbs up for Chanel's new formula. These are now arriving to all the Chanel Counters so in case you haven't tried them yet, I strongly recommend checking them out.
I will review the last three palettes also soon. Just a little spoiler, the ones I have already reviewed are my favorites in terms of formula and shade combinations.
Do you like warm (corals, apricots) or cool (pinks) lips with blue eye shadows?
