Beauty Care: Chanel Brun Affirme & Rouge Conquerant Rouge Allure L'Extrait Lip Colours Reviews & Swatches

Brun Affirme (862)

Chanel Brun Affirme (862) Rouge Allure L’Extrait Lip Colour ($55.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a deeper, reddish-plum with strong, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had an incredibly smooth, creamy, and denser texture that was still lightweight but more substantial than prior formulas by the brand.

It had rich color payoff that applied evenly and seemed to smooth out most of my lip lines. It wore well for five and a half hours and felt hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$55.00/0.07 oz. - $785.71 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a "satin" finish with eight-hour wear (and 12 hours of hydration) and an "ultra-high concentration of pigments" and a "deeply moisturizing complex." The range was quite pigmented with most shades delivering fully opaque coverage in a single layer, though there were a few exceptions.

The consistency was smooth, creamy, and lightly emollient without too much slip, so it stayed in place without feathering on me, but it was a "thicker" and denser formula compared to most Chanel lip color formulas I have tried; this wasn't a good or bad thing, but it was a departure worth noting for those familiar with prior lipstick releases from the brand. I felt this thicker formula did help to soften my lip lines and yield a very flattering look on my lips, though.

Most shades lasted at least four hours with some shades lasting closer to six hours but eight hours of decent wear would have been a stretch. Eight hours with some remnants of color? Possibly with some of the bolder hues (e.g. a red). The formula was comfortable and hydrating to wear, and I definitely felt no need to hasten to get lip balm after one wore off.

The lipstick had a subtle, floral scent (I didn't notice it after I applied it, mostly in the tube) but no discernible taste.

Note: this is a refillable lipstick, so the price reflects the cost of the case and the lipstick shade (cases are not currently available on their own). Refills are $40 each at the time of publishing.

Rouge Conquerant (864)

Chanel Rouge Conquerant (864) Rouge Allure L’Extrait Lip Colour ($55.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark red with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage, which gave it a more translucent quality to it.

The texture was lightweight, lightly creamy (but not to the point of sliding around too readily), and comfortable to wear as it applied without catching on lip texture or settling into my lip lines. It lasted well for five hours and left a faint stain behind, while the formula was moisturizing to wear.
