Chanel Subtile & Caractere Rouge Allure Lip Colours Reviews & Swatches

Chanel Subtile (211) Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour

Subtile (211)

Chanel Subtile (211) Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour ($45.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a darker, though still muted, coral with moderate, warm undertones balanced between red and orange paired with a soft sheen.

  • Opaque, buildable coverage
  • Very lightweight, thin but not clingy
  • Applied evenly, felt comfortable to wear
  • Long-wearing (4 hours), hydrating

FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

Possible Dupes
These are likely to be very similar shades based on our duping algorithm.

Formula Overview

$45.00/0.12 oz. - $375.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a "satin finish" with "ultra-thin pigments" that yield "full coverage" while also having a moisturizing base. Most shades in the range have a satin to luminous finish--not glossy but they have a luminosity to them that gives the appearance of lighter-weight color and smoother, fuller lips that a true satin finish doesn't have (in my experience).

The texture has a more velvety feel--smooth with great glide but not a lot of wetness, so they go on comfortably but feel very lightweight and thin but don't emphasize lip lines/lip texture. The coverage tends to be more semi-opaque to opaque, so they aren't always living up to the "full coverage" claim.

Most shades wear four hours or longer with some of the deeper and richer hues lasting six hours or more, and the formula has been hydrating for me. They have a subtle, floral scent but no discernible taste.

Caractere (212)

Chanel Caractere (212) Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour ($45.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark reddish-brown with lightly warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It did not apply as well as other Rouge Allures have for me.

ColourPop x High School Wildcats Blush Review & Swatches

ColourPop Wildcats Pressed Powder Blush

Wildcats

ColourPop Wildcats Pressed Powder Blush ($12.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a very light, peachy-coral with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It looked pretty subpar when I initially swatched on my arm, but it applied quite well to my cheeks–like in a way that even had me going, “Whoa,” in surprise.

  • Semi-sheer to medium, buildable coverage
  • Lightweight, thin, finely-milled and moderately powdery
  • Blendable, picked up readily with a brush, a touch dry on drier skin
  • Long-wearing (eight hours is typical for this formula)

FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

Formula Overview

$12.00/0.13 oz. - $92.31 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to go on "smoothly" and have a "natural and healthy flush" that has "long wear" and "can be layered to your desired intensity." It is a lightly to moderately powdery powder blush with semi-sheer to semi-opaque, buildable color payoff. The consistency has a drier, thinner feel and though it feels silky to the touch, I found it the type of powder blush can be tricky to blend out evenly on the skin, depending on one's skin type or base preferences. The drier the skin/base, the better the formula would blend, but any natural oils or slip caused the blush to go on unevenly and was difficult to blend out. The wear was between seven and eight hours on me on average.

What was the last fragrance that caught your eye? Did you purchase or pass?

Dries Van Noten fragrances because of the bottles–really interesting and unique! Haven’t found a commit-worthy scent yet but still several to try from the line.

ColourPop x High School Musical East High Palette Review & Swatches

ColourPop East High 15-Pan Shadow Palette

East High

ColourPop East High 15-Pan Shadow Palette ($26.00 for 0.53 oz.) is a new, limited edition eyeshadow palette that included a mix of colors and finishes. There were five mattes, two sparkle-mattes, two cream-powders, five shimmers, and one satin. The quality was consistent with ColourPop’s formula with the matte shades typically being pigmented, a little powdery but blendable and easy to use. I only had issues with one matte shade (sheer and quite powdery).

ColourPop Creme Brulee Pressed Powder Shadow

Creme Brulee

Creme Brulee is a light, yellowed beige with warm undertones and a matte finish with flecks of light gold sparkle that didn’t really translate on the lid but didn’t seem to result in visible fallout.

  • Opaque color coverage
  • Soft, smooth, lightly powdery
  • Blendable, easy to work with
  • Long-wearing (eight hours is typical of this formula)

FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

Formula Overview

$4.50/0.05 oz. - $90.00 Per Ounce

The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing” and “adheres easily to the eyes.” Most of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applies well to bare skin, blends out without issue, and lasts for seven to eight hours.

The matte eyeshadows tend to be a little more powdery, though soft and finely-milled, in the pan, while the shimmers have a creamier, dense consistency. Occasionally, the more sparkly or metallic shades apply better with fingertips or a dampened brush.

The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing." The way the Pressed Pigments differ is that they're not intended for usage on the immediate eye area.

The majority of the shades are semi-opaque to opaque in coverage, blend out fairly well, and can sometimes be a bit drier/more powdery compared to typical matte shades. They often wear eight to nine hours on me before fading, but many shades in the Pressed Pigment family leave some staining behind.

NOTICE: All products categorized under "Pigment" carry a warning in the US that the product is "not intended for use in the immediate eye area."

The product includes color additives that are not approved for usage on the eyes per the FDA.

ColourPop Student Body Super Shock Shadow

Student Body

Student Body is a light-medium gold with moderate, warm yellow undertones and a metallic finish.

  • Nearly opaque pigmentation
  • Cream-to-powder feel; emollient but then powder-like on skin
  • Applied evenly, blended out well
  • Long-wearing (10 hours)

FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

Formula Overview

$6.00/0.07 oz. - $85.71 Per Ounce

ColourPop Super Shock Shadow is a cream-based formula that comes in a multitude of shades and finishes. The more metallic shades have the most slip to them (they have a “wetter” feel), while the more matte ones have a firmer, more clay-like consistency. Almost every shade I’ve tried from ColourPop has been exceptionally long-wearing (10+ hours of wear, usually there until I remove, even 14 hours later). The pigmentation can vary from shade to shade, but the average shade is quite pigmented.

From feedback I’ve seen from readers, many love them but some don’t like them at all. They aren’t a traditional cream eyeshadow, as they are denser (more sponge-like), and they apply best with flat, firm, synthetic brushes (I like the MAC 242 and 249) for me. The brand recommends using fingers for the most pigmented application, but I’ve only felt that fingers were necessary on a few shades (usually the super glittery ones).

The more matte shades can be on the drier side and vary from medium to opaque in coverage, though they're often buildable.  They can be a little hard to diffuse the edges of, though some are lovely to work with.

The more glittery shades have been the weakest to me, as they can be sheerer or harder to apply.  Sometimes, they are more pigmented and work like the other finishes in the formula, but often, they are sheerer and only function well patted on top of more pigmented eyeshadows to add glitter.  They do, however, tend to have little fallout over time with the occasional shade having a more moderate amount of fallout (but still less fallout than most powder eyeshadows with glitter).

$4.50/0.05 oz. - $90.00 Per Ounce

The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing” and “adheres easily to the eyes.” Most of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applies well to bare skin, blends out without issue, and lasts for seven to eight hours.

The matte eyeshadows tend to be a little more powdery, though soft and finely-milled, in the pan, while the shimmers have a creamier, dense consistency. Occasionally, the more sparkly or metallic shades apply better with fingertips or a dampened brush.
