FOTD: Using Chanel Les 4 Ombres in Prelude 33

Today's look features Chanel's New Eyeshadow Quad in Prelude 33. I bought this last week as I really loved the beautiful, subtle shades.


Prelude is part of their Autumn 2011 Collection, and will be added to their permanent range.


Like Chanel compacts before, it comes encased in a velvet pouch.



All 4 shades are cool-toned with a subtle pearly finish.


Swatches of the 4 shades: First two swatches correlate with top two shades of the palette. Third and forth swatch represents the bottom two shades.


I find the two lightest shades perfect for a natural daytime look.

However, in today's look I used the top two shades (the first 2 shades on my arm swatch). Here's a close up of my eye makeup:



Products Used:

Chanel Les 4 Ombres in Prelude

Benefit Bad Gal Waterproof Eyeliner

Lancome Hynose Doll Eyes Mascara

Shu Uemura Glow On Blush M33E

Boots 17 Mirrir Shine Lipstick in Hollywood (stained on lips)



I'll finish off with a sneak preview of my up-coming giveaway:

    Gorgeous look, I'm always a fan of natural looks and I love browns (you know me) I can never get enough of brown and neutrals. Trust me I normally wear natural colors although you see a lot of bright colors on my post.
