DIOR - 429 Toile de Jouy
I wish I went to temptalia before getting my hands on it That's what it says: is a new(er) warmer neutral color story that included a mix of finishes that ranged from matte to sparkle. This palette suffered from a general powderiness/dryness across the board compared to most of the brand's eyeshadows. Most shades had semi-opaque or better coverage, and they were blendable, but they absolutely required a primer underneath and likely would sing for someone who tends to prefer a softer/sheerer effect. So the two top shades indeed really really require the primer. Without them, you can barely see them, you have to really try :) and by putting them on the eyelids withotu primer will make your eyes look like you did before you put on anything :) Well, the most natural sheer color, actually. So if you prefer to have eyeshadows withotu looking like you had them, these to colors are for you. But even with a little bit of color, these shades will work jsut fine. They are sheer by themselves, so don't expect too much color pop like from ND or mother Pat, but they're cute. Especially the first one - it's actually a big of a duochrome, I'm telling you! though it doesn't say that and is not stated anywhere, I can definitely see the shimmer of light/pinkish glance if I play with the angles, so there you are! a real, very light Dior duochrome! The other 3 shades perform very well - middle one is neutral warm, one and done kinda shade, the left on the bottom gives the red vibes, but transfers to a light brown more, and also nice to use as a blush. The last darker one is nice for the corner and smoky look, but also as an eyeliner. All in all a very nice palette to try out. I even used these brushes, though I have my Rephr ones always at hand. By the way, the first -duochrome shade was better picked up by the flat brush like for glitters (Sigma 57 or Rephr 21), the other ones performed better with fluffier brushes.
