Chanel Beauty has launched four new eyeshadow palettes as part of their Les 4 Ombres Byzance Collection, priced at $70 each. The palettes feature a stunning, gold surface on the compact, inspired by Gabrielle Chanel’s jewelry, adding a special touch to the collection. All four palettes performed exceptionally well, with great pigment, finely milled texture, and smooth and easy application. Each quad consists of three regular eyeshadows and one sparkly iridescent topper.
Out of the four palettes, two offer lighter and more neutral variations suitable for everyday wear. The other two palettes are more on the trendy side, featuring reds and greens, which personally I found to be too trendy for my taste.
The Les 4 Ombres Byzance Parure Cristal (328) is truly beautiful, with two soft pink shimmers, a satiny cool brown, and a sparkling pale blue topper. It provides a soft and gentle effect on the eyes, which I personally love. On the other hand, the Les 4 Ombres Byzance Parure Venitienne (318) offers a lighter variation that is my favorite out of the four. It includes a warm shimmery gold, soft warm peach shimmer, warm brown, and ultra-pale aqua shimmer topper. The colors appear much more vibrant in person, making it challenging to capture their nuances and true appearance on camera.
The reddish quad Les 4 Ombres Byzance Parure Imperiale (308) is very warm and appears pink on my skin tone. It consists of a yellow gold shimmer, warm coral red, deeper red, and champagne silver glitter/shimmer. Personally, I found it too red for my liking, as I rarely wear reds on my eyes. However, I can pull off other shades like Les 4 Rouges Yeux et Joues in Tendresse or Les 4 Ombres in Candeur Et Experience. Unfortunately, this new palette did not work well with my complexion.
The Les 4 Ombres Byzance Parure Baroque (338) is the most trendy palette in the collection, featuring colors reminiscent of a decorated Christmas tree. It includes a burnished brassy gold, red, shimmery smoky green, and silver glitter. Although the color combination did not work for me personally, I did come across some stunning looks on the @welovecoco Instagram account where the green shade was applied. Initially, I thought this particular shade of green was uncommon for Chanel, but a quick search proved me wrong, as they have launched several bright green shades in singles and palettes in the past.
Overall, these palettes offer beautiful pigment, texture, and shimmers. However, they may not be suitable for everyone’s taste. Personally, I adore the color scheme of Parure Venitienne and find Parure Cristal to be a close second. As for the other two palettes, I do not see myself wearing them, but I believe they will be appealing to those who seek something different and bold. It’s important to note that all four quads are limited-edition and can be purchased on Chanel.com while supplies last. I received the Les 4 Ombres Byzance palettes as a gift from Chanel for review purposes.
Chanel Beauty launched 4 new eyeshadow palettes in the Les 4 Ombres Byzance Collection ($70 each). The palettes have a beautiful gold surface in the compact to mimic Gabrielle Chanel’s jewelry and it adds a really special touch to these.
All four performed very well – pigment is very good, finely milled, application is smooth and easy to layer. Each quad has 3 regular eyeshadows and 1 sparkly iridescent topper.
Out of the four palettes there are two lighter neutral variations that are wearable for everyday. The remaining two are more on the trendy side with reds and greens – both of these were too trendy for me to pull off.
Les 4 Ombres Byzance Parure Cristal
Les 4 Ombres Byzance 328 Parure Cristal is really beautiful. It has two soft pink shimmers, a satiny cool brown and a sparkling pale blue topper. Overall it pulls very soft on the eyes but I love the softwash effect.
Les 4 Ombres Byzance Parure Venitienne
The other lighter variation Les 4 Ombres Byzance 318 Parure Venitienne is also really beautiful (my favorite of the four). It has a warm shimmery gold, soft warm peach shimmer, warm brown and a ultra pale aqua shimmer topper. The colors show up a lot more in person, on camera it’s really hard to pick up the nuances and color on the eyes.
Look wearing:
Les 4 Ombres Byzance Parure Imperiale
The reddish quad 308 Parure Imperiale is very warm and pulls very pink on my skin tone. It has a yellow gold shimmer, warm coral red, deeper red and champagne silver glitter/shimmer. On my skin tone it was too red for my taste. I rarely wear reds on the eyes but can pull off the Les 4 Rouges Yeux et Joues in Tendresse or Les 4 Ombres in Candeur Et Experience. This new one however did not work for my complexion.
Les 4 Ombres Byzance Parure Baroque
Les 4 Ombres Byzance in 338 Parure Baroque is the most trendy one of all with colors that have a decorated Christmas Tree vibe. Colors include a burnished brassy gold, red, shimmery smoky green and silver glitter. The mix of colors did not work for me but I did see some really pretty looks on the @welovecoco Instagram account with the green shade applied.
For some reason this color configuration seemed like an odd mix for Chanel as I didn’t think they usually launched anything with this particular shade of green. A quick search though proved me wrong and it appears they’ve actually had quite a few bright greens in singles and palettes in the past.
Overall beautiful pigment, texture and shimmers. I’m not sure they will be for everyone, although I really love the Parure Venitienne color scheme with Parure Cristal in close second. I can’t see myself wearing the other two, but I do think they will appeal to those who want something different and bold.
All four quads are limited-edition. Available at Chanel.com while supplies last.
