The Chanel Ombre Essentielle in 246 Bois Noir offers outstanding performance due to its highly pigmented, blendable formula and multi-use design. Its 8-hour wear claim holds true, making it a reliable choice for long days or evenings.
As an Eyeshadow: For a full, intense color wash, use the white foam applicator or your fingertips to sweep 246 Bois Noir across the entire eyelid. Its rich pigment builds easily, allowing for both subtle and dramatic looks. For a smoky effect, apply more intensely at the lash line and blend upwards with the blending brush.
Example: Apply a sheer layer for a daytime neutral look, or build up for a deep, smoky eye perfect for evening.
As an Eyeliner: Utilize the tapered synthetic-bristle eyeliner brush for precise definition. Dip the brush into the powder and draw along the lash line. For a more vivid color payoff and a sharper line, lightly wet the brush before picking up the product. This creates a more graphic, intense effect.
Example: Create a classic winged liner for a sophisticated finish, or a tight line along the upper lash line for subtle definition.
To Accentuate Brows: The blending brush can be used to lightly fill in and define sparse areas of your eyebrows. Use short, feathery strokes to mimic natural brow hairs. The 'Bois Noir' shade is a deep, versatile tone that can suit many brow colors, especially if applied lightly.
Example: Gently fill in the tail of your brow or add definition to the arch for a polished, cohesive look.

Skin Type: The formula is designed to be comfortable and wear like a second skin.
Eye Sensitivity: It is ophthalmologist tested, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive eyes.
