I’ve got in to a real makeup uniform recently; same base, same quickie cheek routine, same brow product, same eyeshadow, mascara and then I either do a bold lip or a nude lip. Simples. The eyeshadow in question is this – CHANEL’s Illusion D’Ombre in Mirage. I first heard about it through Sali Hughes and then when I was in Boots a few weeks back I had a swatch of it on counter and it was love at first sight (it was love at first sight for my friend too who also walked away with a pot!).
There are two things to note with this formula. Firstly – it’s all about applying it with your fingers. Try a brush and you’re destined for failure because it’s your fingertip that warms up the product and allows it transfer from tip to lid, then just blend it out to soften the edges either with your finger or a brush. Repeat until the desired opacity is achieved. It couldn’t be easier. I’ve applied this without practically looking in a mirror and in low-light conditions and each time it looks surprisingly polished. Secondly, it’s a sheer texture but it’s buildable, which is great because it’s a true day-to-night little multi-tasker. Rub it on lightly in the morning, lob it in your bag and then go in a little heavier for a touch-up before you head out in the evening. Easy peasy.
If you love a good ol’ bronzey lid then say hello to your new makeup bag staple.
