Beauty Care: Chanel Beige Rugissant & Beige Ardent Rouge Allure Velvets Reviews & Swatches

Beige Rugissant (227)

Chanel Beige Rugissant (227) Rouge Allure Velvet ($38.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a darker peach with warm, orange undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff that adhered evenly to my lips and applied comfortably without tugging or dragging during application.

The texture was lightweight, thin, and lightly velvety–not so much creamy or wet as it went on–but there was a touch of product that settled into my deeper lip lines, which wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance. It wore well for four hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$38.00/0.12 oz. - $316.67 Per Ounce

The Rouge Allure Velvet formula is supposed to be a "non-drying matte lipstick" with "intensely rich, long-wearing colour" and has a "velvet matte finish." Over time, I felt like the formula has improved and is actually non-drying (the original launch did not wear well on me) to lightly drying (seen more in shades that have lasted six to eight hours). The pigmentation varies from shade to shade but is usually semi-opaque to opaque with a semi-matte to satin finish. The texture had a velvety, glide-on feel that doesn't feel particularly creamy or wet, yet the lipstick is comfortable to wear over the four to six hours it typically lasts for. Like most Chanel lip products, they have a rosy scent but no discernible taste.

Beige Ardent (237)

Chanel Beige Ardent (237) Rouge Allure Velvet ($38.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium plum with moderate, warm undertones and a satin finish with a barely-there pearl. It was more “matte” than shimmery, but it seemed to have fine pearl throughout. The texture felt lightweight, thin but not clingy, and smooth with a more velvety consistency as it glided across my lips.

It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that went on evenly and didn’t emphasize my lip lines or lip texture. It lasted nicely for four and a half hours and felt lightly moisturizing while worn.
