The Chanel Les 4 Ombres Eyeshadow Palette in 2G Clair-Obscur excels in creating dynamic eye looks with ease. Its rich, creamy formula allows for both subtle and dramatic transformations.
Base Layer: Apply the Antique Beige or Taupe Beige shade across the entire eyelid up to the brow bone as a neutral base. This helps with blending and provides a clean canvas.
Define Crease: Use the Metallic Khaki in the crease of your eyelid, blending it outwards to add depth and dimension. This shade can also be used on the lower lash line for added definition.
Build Intensity: Apply the Smoky Black shade directly onto the eyelid, starting from the lash line and blending upwards. For a more intense smoky effect, layer the black shade gradually. Use a smaller brush to define the outer corner and smudge along the upper and lower lash lines.
Highlight & Blend: Go back with Antique Beige or Taupe Beige to soften any harsh edges, particularly around the crease and outer corner. A touch of the lighter, luminous shade in the inner corner can brighten the eye.
Apply Antique Beige or Taupe Beige over the entire lid for a natural wash of color.
Use a light touch of Metallic Khaki in the crease for subtle definition.
Lightly line the upper lash line with a small amount of Smoky Black (applied with a damp, fine brush) for a soft, defined look without full intensity.
Tip: The emollient system makes these shadows incredibly blendable. Don't be afraid to experiment with different brush types to achieve varied effects, from soft washes to sharp lines.
