[unpaid/sample] CHANEL’s affiliation with tweed is famous however let’s not overlook that tweed was thought-about virtually utilitarian put on or, dare I say it, for girls of a sure age – actually not one thing trendy. It took Karl Lagerfeld’s reinvention to carry it out of the doldrums, turning into iconic for the model and infinitely covetable. This isn’t the primary time that the model has used tweed as a texture for his or her palettes however I believe it’s the first time that they’ve include their very own tweed pouches, created by Mason Lesage who provide high fashion embroidery and stitching expertise to CHANEL. I’ll say right away that I’ve saved one again from swatching (Tweed Fauve) as a result of I need to put it in my assortment, but when anybody significantly desires to see swatches, I can do it with out crying (a lot) ;-).
Through the years I’ve purchased a number of issues from CHANEL – Mr BBB at all times purchased me a chunk of costume jewelry for Christmas or birthday, I’ve discovered some superb public sale buys and re-sale buys (a black jacket in Milan) plus a few baggage I purchased myself earlier than the costs shot up, in addition to successful a bag in a charity raffle. My favorite merchandise is a really battered, a lot used and tiny cream quilted bag that – consider it or not – I discovered the very first (and final) time I went on Gumtree. I used to be sceptical but it surely turned out it had belonged to somebody’s grandmother who had handed away and the grandchildren had been clearing the attic in her home. Once I acquired it, within the little pocket inside was a set of raffle tickets and I’ve saved them there – they’re simply a part of the bag and its historical past. In the future I’ll get it revamped. Nevertheless, by some means I don’t have a single tweed merchandise – I believe I like these a lot as a result of now I do!
That is my favorite – Tweed Brun et Rose. I did the primary full eye look I’ve performed in a really, very very long time with this palette and appreciated it so maybe it’s damaged my mono-shade rule.
It’s a very simple put on as you may see – I used the second shade within the high row as the bottom, the deepest within the crease and the primary shade as a spotlight as much as my forehead. The pale pink shade is all shimmer so I swept it into the center of the lid. What I ought to have performed however remembered too late was use the deep brown as kohl by tapping it onto my decrease inside eye rim however as an alternative I used a brown kohl. However, I believe you may see that utilizing the colors barely otherwise you may go as robust or as gentle as you need with Tweed Brun et Rose. Oh, and the tweed jackets all correspond with the shades inside the palettes.
That is Tweed Pourpre that mixes pinks and mauves – it’s very mushy and virtually misty in repay (bear in mind the SUQQU ‘foggy’ end – it’s a bit like that).
There’s a shot of iridescence too so there may be extra to this palette that first meets the attention (see what I did – insert eyeroll emoji).
That is Tweed Cuivre – it’s the one for you should you love golden hues and don’t overlook, gold makes blue eyes come to life so don’t be delay by the heat of this. It’s wealthy and shimmery – assume winter midnight glam.
Tweed Cuivre feels opulent and smoky – should you love a gleaming eye look, it’s for you.
Right here is Tweed Fauve – the one with no swatches. It’s a sundown composition – once more, when you have blue or inexperienced eyes don’t dismiss this as too heat.
The Chanel Les 4 Ombres Tweed is a restricted version assortment – the palettes are £67 every so (in my ebook) a thought-about buy. They’re out there from CHANEL HERE and Harrods however you’re higher off going direct to CHANEL as a result of postage is complimentary as are two free samples. I’ve unearthed some footage of earlier ‘tweed’ textures from CHANEL each of which reside in my assortment (hoard!). The primary is from 2011 and the second is a restricted version for France solely from 2017.
