I've been lusting over Chanel Notorious Sculpting Veil for Eyes and Cheeks ever since I saw it on the runways last year. A gray-taupe contour color? You bet my
You can layer it for a darker, smokier color (for eyes) or sheer it out to a soft gray-taupe as a contour. Before you think how can that possibly be on my cheeks, remember with natural contouring people are not supposed to know you did it, and that should be a guide on how much color you use. If you need additional help, Arianne from Glitter Geek just wrote a marvelous tutorial on natural contouring, complete with step-by-step pictorials.

Hi. Love the swatches. I was wondering where you were able to purchase it from. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI just updated the post with contact details!
ReplyDeleteas;ldfkagh soulmate. This is such a gorgeous shade -- I already have one or two (or, okay, three or four) shades that I'm using to contour, but this one looks absolutely gorgeous. I want :(
ReplyDelete(Canadian availability, though? What a disaster.)
This color looks amazing, and surprisingly it doesn't swatch as grayish as how it looks in the packaging.
ReplyDeleteOH WOW this is INTERESTING! I wonder if it'll pretty much get lost on my skin tone though. Don't really think we get this here but I'll check :)
ReplyDeleteUh... ok interesting. I can't imagine how I'd ever wear it, but wow. Might be a good one to turn me into a zombie for halloween? ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the swatches! Unfortunately, I found this product to look a little muddy and unnatural, from the pictures of it used in the Chanel shows (and it looks to have been used in their S/S ad campaign as well). Maybe they just used a very heavy hand for the show and pictures, but being so fair, I have a feeling that this would not work for me (if it didn't look muddy, I fear that it would almost look bruisy on me)
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting shade for blush.. I can see how it might work on some skin tones.. But I think Ima skip this one
ReplyDeleteI love this. Will it be sold at all Chanel counters, do you know?
ReplyDeleteWow this is very...grey. I certainly admire your ballsy approach to color, but I think I would be too scared to try something like this :P Also, a light-hand is not something I seem to possess, so hard to apply, super-pigmented colors are not for me :/
ReplyDeleteHey Paris!! Yoo Hoo ... it would be just beautiful if applied à la Xiao- you wouldn't look anything like a zombie! You would have beautifully carved cheekbones ... xoxo Beth in Pgh ;-)
ReplyDeleteXiao, do you know if saks will ship to canada?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous- I'm sorry, I really don't know. Perhaps you could call them up and inquire?
ReplyDeleteEmi- I don't know. My guess is all Chanel boutiques and select Chanel counters? You should inquire with your SA!
ReplyDeleteHello there! I was wondering how this compares to Nars Lhasa eyeshadow. Are they somewhat similar?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your insight!!
Hi Raquel- I'm sorry! I tried searching for my Lhasa shadow to compare but couldn't find it. I think they are similar but not dupes. Lhasa probably has more lilac and more shimmer so it wouldn't be good on the cheeks.
ReplyDeleteOMG this is THE blush colour I was searching for all the time!!! A greyish Taupe, perfect contour shade!!! Not orange or green or other undertones but the perfect shadow colour!!!!
ReplyDeleteNow available on Chanel's U.S. website....just sayin.
