What it is:A 5-pan eyeshadow palette with a
creamy, iridescent texture.What it does:Formulated to
blend seamlessly and create a spectacular visual effect,
this silky-smooth, highly pigmented formula is created
with Dior's phenomenal new Wet Reflect(TM)
technology. It offers incomparable staying power and the
light, smooth texture makes it easy to apply.
I LOVE Dior eyeshadows, it is all I will use. I loved that this palette was iridescent since I love shimmer. I was expecting this one to be similar to Earth Reflection (which I love) but it was much more cool in colouring and made more of a statement. I am lucky that I am fair, blue eyes and blonde hair like the model so my colouring works for it. I could see this looking great on cool coloured black women too but probably not on warmer medium skintones. I like Smoky Crystal a lot but would sooner reach for Earth Reflection or Tropical Light because they are more every day type colours and more warm.
I love this palette, it is longwearing and versatile. Beautiful gray to taupe to silver to purple...love it! The only drawback is the price but I can't find shadows that are as blendable and as Dior.
as always dior has great quality. the e/s's are pigmented and so smooth and easy to blend and really last even w/ out base. i found tho that the darkest color isn't dark enough for my taste. i prefer a darker smokier eye. but it's still a beautiful palette and a must have for someone who doesn't have very many similar colors.
Very pretty, just as I would expect from Dior. Colors are soft and pigmented but they are not taupe as some appear in the photo. All 4 of the corner colors are actually very grey. Nice quint, though!
Quick Take: good value, portable, perfect color combo
By far the best 5-Colour from Dior this year! Features the new extreme formula so all you need is a light hand to get full color. The purple/silver combo is absolutely gorgeous and easy to play up or down because the colors blend so well. A+++
My favorite palette by far! The texture of the shadows are so silky. The color is highly pigment and extremely blendable. Use the top quadrant for a day time smoky eye or the bottom quadrant for a darker finish. My favorite is the iridescent lavender shadow which i use to line my lower lids for that pop of color.
Quick Take: good value, portable, pigmented, beautiful
i have quite a few quints from dior and this has become my favorite REALLY fast. To me, this is a lot less over the top shimmery like say, the tropical light quint. and it's also got amazing pigment versus some softer quints dior had released recently (parisian light, i'm loking at you). I admit the colors are pretty dupable, but dior eyeshadow has an amazing texture unlike any other brand that gives the eye a glow instead of a very obvious " i have a ton of eyeshadow on" look. The best part for me is that these shadows last all day WITHOUT a primer! People who don't like cool toned colors may have a problem with this quint tho
This palette is ABSOLUTELY stunning. I thought last years holiday palette (Moonlight) was my favorite until I used this! I work in a dark bar and usually do a smokey eye, and this makes a beautiful silver/black/taupe smokey eye. Even the token purple in the middle blends seamlessly with all the other colors. I have been wearing Dior shadows for quite some time now, and they are worth the extra money!!!
Love this palette. The colors in it are very wearable from day into night. And the texture is smooth as a baby's bottom. I tried to see if any of the colors were in my other Dior palettes that they duplicated. But no, they are all original & new colors. So rest assured you will be getting exciting new ones. The top left color is to MY eye a goldenish taupey color. And the bottom right is the prettiest silver that I have seen. And of course as with all Dior palettes the blendability and staying power is wonderful
Quick Take: good value, portable, purple holiday smoke
This palette seems slightly more iridescent than the others that I have.Very blendable stays on all day, in all kinds of weather. The purple is wonderfull , great for the holidays.
