Chanel Les 4 Ombres #214 Tissé Mademoiselle, Review, Swatches & FOTD

Since the beautiful new palettes of Chanel are rolled out around the world about a week ago, I am trying my best to review my (yet small) collection. I have been testing them for months now. I haven't felt the urge to collect each and every item of a single collection for a long time but new Chanel Les 4 Ombres changed this. Being very much in love with the new texture and their color stories, I consider them one of the best palettes in the market at the moment. Here are my previous reviews in case you would like to check out:

#214 Mademoiselle is a shy and understated beauty. When I swatched it first at the counter, I remember writing my first impressions and this one was my "least favorite" of the bunch. This is why I didn't pull the trigger until I owned 7 of the 8 palettes and felt the urge to complete the collection. The reason why I didn't feel it the first time around was because of its golden and khaki undertones, which blends with the colors of my eyes and crashes a little against the mauve undertones of my skin. 

After purchasing Mademoiselle and trying it, it turns out that I really like it.

I still believe Mademoiselle would look much better on others, but nevertheless I enjoy the smooth and silky texture, lovely shade range and its subtle but pretty shimmer. I especially recommend it for those with blue eyes, this one would make their eyes pop. Also warmer skin toned fair to medium complexions would love Mademoiselle for a daily subtle and polished look.

#214 Tissé Mademoiselle is composed of four shimmery eye shadows. The first time I swatched it, I was a little disappointed to see that the darkest shade had a satin to shimmery finish. I learned then to appreciate it since it compliments the soft look the shades create. Here are the list of the shades:

Upper left: A medium tan brown with satin finish.

Upper right: A light shimmery ivory.

Bottom left: A stunning mid-toned natural gold with satin to shimmery finish. This one is my favorite of the bunch, it manages to get the attention without shouting, if that makes sense.

Bottom right: A deep cool brown which leans slightly khaki. It has satin finish but it doesn't look very shimmery once applied on the lids.

Below you can see a classical look one would create with this palette. Golden shade is worn on the lid, ivory is used to highlight the inner corner and slightly dusted under brow bone. I defined the outer corner first with the mid-toned brown (upper left) then with the deeper khaki brown. I also applied a tiniest bit of the mid-toned brown along the lower lash line. I complemented this look with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencil in Stash and Chanel Le Volume mascara.

Final thoughts: Chanel Les 4 Ombres #214 Tissé Mademoiselle is another lovely palette from the brand's fabulous new line. If you are a drama queen, you might want to keep looking but if you need a polished day-time look, be sure to check this one out.

Do you like splurging for make-up which is subtle enough to be worn frequently or do you rather find interesting color stories and creative combinations splurge-worthy?
