Expected better
luckybetty (880 reviews)

I have the "Dunes", which is great for the bronze or autumn look. The texture of each color is powdery, but soft and light like velvet. When applied for the first time, I noticed that it was not chalky at all, but at the same time the color was not very vivid. Therefore, I had to apply a few times. For the price I paid, I expected to the color to stay much longer, but unfortunately, I needed to re-apply during my bathroom break. This quad is good for sheer shadowing, but for a more intense/vivid shadowing you will need something like Clinique Touch Base for Eyes. — 1 year, 3 months ago

Great Colors!
makeupbyjanalyn (154 reviews)

I love these Chanel quads! They are all so pretty! The only thing, they arent highly pigmented compared to other eyeshadows that I have tried. You definetly need to use an eye primer before using these, otherwise they color will come out very sheer and a bit muddy. They go on pretty smoothly and blend well. These are an investment, so make sure before you buy these that you will actually use all 4 colors. If not, I would opt for the single shadows. — 11 months, 1 week ago

Le Splurge
OhMandy (199 reviews)

This is definetely in the splurge category-a MAJOR luxury item but if you are going to do it on something this is a great candidate. The color choices and combos are amazing and they go on true to how they look-plus they really last. You can do SO much-its almost like having a mini artists palate. I can't do it all the time-wish it was more affordable-but I guess in some places you get what you pay for. There are many great budget eye shadow buys but this one really delivers for the money. — 2 years, 6 months ago

Great combo
ronald_b_wood_jr (2 reviews)

I have used many of Chanel products and all Chanels makeup stays on, even if your out dancing and get heated up. You can wipe your face and it will still have the makeup on your face at the end of the night. All Chanel products live up to what they say. The only problem is it cost so much. — 1 year, 2 months ago

wanted to love it
SeraphinaB (9 reviews)

i have used every eyeshadow under the sun (except for maybe the cheapest ones that are under 3 or so dollars) and i have never had a bad reaction to any of them (and i have no known allergies) until i bought this quad. as soon as the shadow was applied, my skin started burning and my eyes were itching like mad. even after i scrubbed it off, my eyelids were swollen and my skin was inflamed. its a shame because the colors are pretty, but not nearly as vivid as in the packaging. i love the glamor of chanel, but i'll pass on this. — 1 year, 11 months ago

Not Your Drugstore Brand!
EilKas (33 reviews)

Several reviewers said you can duplicate Chanel with drugstore brands, but that hasn't been my experience. All my drugstore searches (and I want a bargain as well as the next gal) have not turned up a single brand that compares to Chanel's refined and elegant colors, satin smooth application, and blendability. Chanel makes the other brands seem coarse and garish in comparison. Since I am an older woman, I leave the glitter and bright colors to the younger ladies. I want colors that are on point as far as trends go, but bespeak of a stunning ease and elegance. In the past, Chanel was criticized for fading, but the latest palettes wear much longer. I put the shadows on in the morning and they are still there in the evening. The bottom line: if you can't afford Chanel, there are many good drugstore brands, but if you can afford Chanel, then buy it because there is really no substitute. — 2 years, 4 months ago

pretty good
charlottemcgggg (1 reviews)

it goes on well, and doesnt crease. its creamy but dry enough to work well, and goes with almost any skin color. love the product, i dont know if its worth the high price that it is at, and could be a little cheaper- but i have no problem with the product itself. — 3 years ago
