So this was my most anticipated spring collection that has come out this year, I was mildly interested in Lancome's Ballerine collection but I passed on that. I find that in the continental USA we see a couple browns next to a pink and say the whole palette is pink themed but one pink eye shadow does not a palette make. So! When I saw Dior's Spring collection I had to have it, also I am going to pick up the Jill Stuart Strawberry collection as soon as I can. I did a costume look using these colors to show how you can make these really over the top, even though they may seem pretty boring. Note the Dior imprint is practically rubbed off I've been using it so much.
The reason I mention Jill Stuart is because these products seriously remind me of the quality of Jill Stuart makeup, the Trianon 5 colors is not everyone's cup of tea from a practical standpoint but as I am used to more pastel pearly finishes I really loved them. For someone with a yellow skin tone base you can expect to have these come off as sheer washes of color with the majority of impact from the pearly finish. Since these remind me so much of Asian cosmetics I was really happy that they met up to my expectation, of something like Jill Stuart eye shadows. I would say that between me and my sister, with our makeup collection the two brands are almost identical so that is why I was so excited this spring that Dior put these pastels out.
The lipsticks are also a huge bonus, I picked up both of the lipsticks and they are fantastic. Allegresse is a pastel pink that has a little coolness to it but still crazily pastel, and Rose Crinoline is a peachy pastel pink that is warm toned with a little orange coming out of it. The wear time is all day like what we usually can expect from Dior but they do dry my lips out as most lip products do. The only bad side is that they are a bit more fragrant that usual Dior lipsticks and at first I was over come by the scent but that subsided after a while (or I got used to it). They dry to a semi matte finish and apply as cream (took about 2 hours) , they do not have any shimmer, glimmer or shine to them after they dry. These lipsticks are creams but because my lips are so dry they absorbed a lot of the moisture from my lips over the day but kept every bit of their color. The best color in this palette is the brown gunmetal color, it defines the lashes perfectly and is so strong yet not as intense as it looks in the pan.
The blush, "Coral Bagatelle" I think is what most people are interested in, is a coral pink that is not pastel but is very bright and I think it compliments the sheer color of the pastels with a maturity that makes the collection as a whole very well put together, sheer colors on the eyes, lightly defined liner and bold coral cheeks even someone in their 50's could pull that off and still keep the vibrant colors. My grandmother is 80 and wears my lipsticks so I think I know what I mean. Below are some pictures of the costume look I did, to watch how I did this look please check out my youtube channel.
