Dior released thirteen new palettes, twelve of which made it to Germany. I am trying to get hold of Cuir Cannage since a few weeks. I was out of luck and my order got canceled, which is another story I shared in Instagram but today it is all about the palette. Now it is not only a parfum from La Collection Privée line but also a palette with coppery warm neutrals, it is Cuir Cannage.

Compared to the other palettes I have reviewed so far, which are Trafalgar, Carre Bleu, Femme Fleur, and Bar, Cuir Cannage is one of my favorites of the bunch because of true to pan color pay-off and subdued shimmer. With new quints of Dior, it gets a little frosty across the board for my satin/matte loving heart. The shimmer in Cuir Cannage gives mostly satin finish without being too metallic/frosty and looks natural once applied.

Top left: Deep plumy brown with satin finish. It is a gorgeous shade which can be worn on its own or in combination with other shades from the palette.
Top right: A very light ivory with satin to shimmery finish. The lightest shade of the palette, which is very useful under the brow bone or as a corner highlighter as well as to lighten up any other deeper shades.
Bottom right: A very deep cool blackened brown with satin finish. There are enough dark shades for definition but if you want to increase the drama even further, this is your shade.
Bottom left: A mid-toned copper, this is the most metallic shade in the palette, the shimmer is there but not over the top.
Center: A mid-toned matte to satin warm olive brown. It is a great shade to run around the crease before deepening it. Because of its matte/satin quality balances the palette perfectly.
The palette in general pulls very warm so if you are not into warm neutrals, you might check other palettes from the line, such as Montaigne.

Below I am wearing copper all over, enhanced with ivory on the corner until one third of the lid. I have the center matte shade on the crease which is deepened further by the darkest shade and plummy brown is padded on the outer third. I am wearing Chanel Stylo Yeux Santal (above) and Or Rose (below) as well as Rouge Bunny Rouge's Witchery Mascara on my lashes. The wear time of Cuir Cannage was quiet impressive, didn't fade nor creased over 10-12 hours.

Below you can see the resulting look, I am wearing My Lady Dior Blush Palette in Coral (reviewed here) on the cheeks and Chanel Rouge Allure #144 Conquise on the lips. I thought there warm colors would go well with a coral cheek and lip to brighten up the face.

Final thoughts: Dior 5 Couleurs Cuir Cannage is the warm neutral palette of Dior's new line with subtle shimmer to give a lovely polished look. I can see this one flattering warmer complexions more but anyone can wear it. The shades are very pigmented and deep enough for deeper complexions as well. Cuir Cannage is permanent.
