I saw a Dior advertisement in a magazine the other day for a new 5 Couleurs, Khaki Designer, I instantly fell in love and had to have it for the Fall.

From: http://www.dior.com – $59.00

What it is:

A sleek compact containing five expertly coordinated shades for the ultimate modern eye.

What it does:

Dior re-invents the classic 5-Colour Eyeshadow with new formulas and shades! These versatile palettes can easily create a range of customized looks for day and night. The incredibly soft, melting texture glides over the eyelid, creating a smudgeproof application. The highly pigmented formula creates an ultra-graphic look that’s buildable in color intensity.

Five different textures have been brought together in a single case to create eyeshadow styles through layering.

• 1-BASE light
• 2-COLOR iridescent
• 3-SHADE satin
• 4-SHINE pearlescent
• 5-LINER matte

My Take:

Khaki Designer has a dark grayish green, a sheer glittering green, olive, cream shimmer and matte black cream liner. It is a beautiful configuration of colors.

The colors are like velvet and go on very smoothly, no tugging of delicate skin, whether you use your finger or a brush. They last all day without fading and without creasing when used with a primer. The 4 colors are workable and can be used to created multiple looks from a sheer wash that builds to my favorite, the smoky eye. I love the eyeliner’s matte finish. I usually wear a gel eyeliner and the blackest black. This is a completely different look and feel for me and the best part, it lasts all day long without fading. This particular 5 Couleur was launched for Fall 2012, but it is a classic that can be worn at any time of the year no matter what is trending. The compact is elegant and sophisticated, but that is Dior.

All in all – fabulous, fabulous, fabulous.  You will find that it is a great addition to your beauty bag.

Peace
