The Chanel Ombre Essentielle in 240 Brun Fauve excels in delivering rich, buildable color with impressive longevity. Its multi-use design truly allows for creative expression without compromise.
As an Eyeshadow: Apply the Brun Fauve shade across the entire eyelid using the white foam applicator for intense, luminous color. For a softer look, use the blending brush to diffuse the color into the crease. The ultra-soft texture ensures smooth application and seamless blending, making it easy to build up intensity or create gradient effects.
As an Eyeliner: For a graphic yet subtle line, use the tapered eyeliner brush. For a more precise result and vivid color, lightly wet the tapered eyeliner brush before picking up the product and drawing along your lash line. This method enhances the color payoff and creates a sharper edge.
As a Brow Accent: Apply the Brun Fauve shade to intensify your eyebrows. Use the blending brush or a dry tapered eyeliner brush to lightly fill in sparse areas and define the brow shape. The subtle touch of color can add depth and a unique look to your brows.
The sage oil enrichment ensures a comfortable wear that feels like a second skin, while the film-forming agents help the color resist creasing and fading for up to 8 hours. This particular shade, Brun Fauve, offers a sophisticated brown tone that can be deepened for dramatic effects or softened for an everyday elegant look, making it a versatile staple for various occasions.
