Review: Chanel Illusion d'Ombre Long-Wear Luminous Eyeshadow





The Chanel Illusion d'Ombre Long-Wear Luminous Eyeshadow comes in 9 shades and has a gel cushiony gel texture which reminds me of jello. With that being said, this doubles up as both an eyeshadow and gel eyeliner. I got the color in Mirifique, which is a shimmer black. It has very pigmented and its silver glitter sparkles beautifully in the light.



It comes with a brush ideal for putting on this eye product. The brush allows for both eyeshadow and eyeliner application. It is very easy to draw both fine and thick lines using this. Color may also be piled up to create an opaque bold line. I find that it has great staying power and is great for tight lining. Personally I dont use this on my waterline.


Swatched on my hand. The above is a thick line ideal for eyeshadow application and the bottom is a thinner line for eye-lining. As you can see, it is very luminous and sparkling.


This is a photo of the ingredients list. 
Pros: 
-easy to use 
-can be both used as eyeliner and eyeshadow
