They swatches are in a single layer, on bare skin without any primer or foundation underneath. Here you have the same swatches but shot under white studio lighting. I took the photo under a natural light and I applied the colors with a dry brush. In the first photos you have swatches of Chanel Duo Bronzer and Highlighter applied on bare skin in a single layer. Chanel Duo Bronze et Lumiere / Bronzer and Highlighter Duo Swatches It wore well on me for close to nine hours, with very slightly fall-out of the shimmer particles during the wear. I do like how beautiful it looks either way, just that the gold shade is not really my first option for a highlighter. When I want to intensify the color I apply a dampened brush and get that metallic finish with a more intense and luminous glow. I didn’t get any fall-out during the application, due to the powder being well pressed in the pan, which I loved.ĭuring the day I like to wear this shade applied with a dry brush, just for a wash of color and that beautiful irridescent glow. The formula is soft and smooth, without kicking off powder in the pan. Applied with a dampened brush it gives more of a metallic sheen and has a higher color payoff. It’s a very forgiving highlighter which is not super intense in a single layer so it works for day and night time as well. It reflects the light beautifully and gives this irridescent glow. The shimmer is very fine and if you build up the color you’d achieve more of a mettalic glow rather than a shimmery one. Therefore I’m always wearing this highlighter paired with a pink or peachy one or just gently swiped on the top of my cheeks. I’m not a fan of gold highlighters, I tend to keep away from them as I don’t believe they complement my light skin.
This color will complement beautifully medium or darker skin tones and anyone who is in love with a golden highlighter. It has a good pigmentation in a single layer and gives a luminous finish. Medium Highlighter is a light, golden-peach with soft gold shimmer and iridescent finish. I’m planning on getting a tan this summer so the Clair Bronzer wouldn’t show on my skin and that’s why I went to Medium where I can build up the color in 2-3 layers if I want too. I wasn’t afraid of choosing the Medium Bronzer but even light skin ladies will be more tempted by the Clair one if you want a lighter color. If you have a fair skin the Clair version would be a better option. I got around eight and a half hours wear with this formula before it started to fade easily.
It doesn’t look muddy or orange on me at all, it doesn’t emphasizes my skin texture and blends easily. It applies easily and evenly across the skin and adheres well. The texture is smooth, soft, doesn’t feel dry and it well pressed in the pan without kicking off powder during the application. For day time look I apply a single layer while for evening I dare to go for a second layer and blended more. I like it a lot that the pigmentation is forgiving and I can go softly on my cheeks with a single layer of color without looking too dark. It had a medium coverage applied in one layer (even on bare skin) and it was easily buildable to a fuller coverage in a second layer. This could be released today and still be relevant and current – it’s a timeless piece of make up.Medium Bronzer is a medium beige-brown with slightly neutral-warm undertones and a soft matte finish. I’ve seen it on resales sites for around the $45 mark although I don’t know how much it cost in 2006. All the shades are quite sparkly with tiny twinkles. The little brush that sits in a perfectly sized slot inside the palette is narrow with a chunky handle so you can either pick out your preferred colour or swirl it around. The coral colour is an almost-red orange shade and the description on the box calls it a Sculpting Face Illuminator. I was hoping it might smell a bit rosy but in fact, it has very little scent – just a waft of sweetness. So, as you can see, it’s a trio of blush colours – baked by the looks of them – in rose, coral and gold-hit baby pink. Chanel Joues Contraste Lumiere Highlighting Blush is a highlighter that retails for 45.00 and contains 0.09 oz. There was gold and silver side detailing on the sequin palette for example, and on the side of this box is a strip of pink and strip of orange. The Lumieres Magiques blush has reminded me about a detail that Chanel used to do quite frequently but I don’t think they do any more which is to put a hint of what’s within on the exterior of the box with colour down the sides. I’m ending the week with this glorious blush from 2006 – I can’t believe that Friday has rolled around again.
