Beauty Care: Dior Bayadere (479) Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Bayadere (479)

Dior Bayadere (479) 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette ($62.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a new, limited edition summer palette that included four shades with varying degrees of shimmer (satin to pearl) and one true matte shade. They were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing while being easy enough to use, though they are not nearly as metallic/high in shimmer as most offerings these days so would be nice for those who prefer less intense shimmer eyeshadows.

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).
