Beauty Care: Dior Poncho (559) Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Poncho (559)

Dior Poncho (559) 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette ($65.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a new, warmer neutral color story that had four shimmery shades paired with one matte shade. The performance of this palette wasn’t on par with several of the others I tried, partially because one shade (the second) was more sparkly (and sheerer) but the matte shade in this palette was a bit powdery and sheerer. It certainly wasn’t bad, but it didn’t quite reach the heights of others in the line.

Poncho #1

Poncho #1 is a brighter, light copper with moderate, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The texture was soft, smooth, and dense without being so firm that it became stiff to work with, which ensured I had no trouble picking up product and depositing it on my lid.

It had opaque pigmentation that lasted nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview

The formula is supposed to have a "creamy and comfortable texture" that is long-wearing and has "intense color" (or "high-pigment"). There are five finishes that can be found within various palettes: matte, satin, shimmer, metallic, highlighter, and glitter, though there aren't specific descriptions by finish, unfortunately.

There were a few shades that seemed more sparkly and were sheerer, more like layering shades, while the other finishes tended to be pigmented. In general, the texture was moderately dense with the matte shades being slightly thinner and a smidgen powdery in the pan compared to the satin, shimmer, and metallic shades.

Aside from those more sparkly shades, the formula was blendable, pigmented, easy to work with, and lasted an average of eight hours on me (without a primer).

Poncho #2

Poncho #2 is a light-medium, peachy gold with strong, warm undertones and a sparkling finish. It had medium coverage with less of a base color and more as a result of a moderate amount of sparkles throughout.

The texture was slightly creamier, so it wasn’t as hard to work with as fallout wasn’t a major issue, but it did apply best with a dampened brush or a fingertip. It wore decently for seven hours but had light fallout over time.

Poncho #4

Poncho #4 is a medium, golden brown with strong, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. The eyeshadow had excellent pigmentation in a single layer, which adhered well to bare skin and diffused easily along the edges without losing the shadow’s intensity.

The consistency was smooth, lightly creamy, and dense but not stiff or overly firm. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.
