Howdy, All! As you guys know, Iโm really loving the latest lipstick releases from Chanel this Fall and I highly recommend them. You can see my review of the Chanel Liquid Powder and the Rouge Allure Velvet Extreme HERE and HERE. Now, for my final Chanel lipstick review this season (hopefully, LOL), letโs talk about the Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet ($37) and some of its new shades. This lipstick is what Chanel describes as luminous matte, and it has a lightweight comfortable feel with a very good color payoff. As soon as I found out that Chanel expanded the color range of this reliable lipstick, I got really excited since Iโve been a fan of this particular lip product for a very long time.
This lipstick is one of my go-to matte lipsticks ever, and I always keep the Libre shade in my purse, simply because I like that shade a lot. However, with all the new shades added recently in this Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet lipstick line, I feel like I might have another one or two favorites to keep inside my purse. You might be wondering why I like this lipstick a lot. Well, first, itโs matte, and I love mattifying or matte finish lipsticks. Second, this is a very comfortable matte lipstick that doesnโt dry the lips even after hours and hours of wearing it, and though it says itโs luminous, it just has a very subtle luminous effect. Itโs not exactly satiny, and it doesnโt move around since itโs not overly creamy, yet it glides on the lips effortlessly. Third, the pigment is superb and it doesnโt transfer much. This lipstick lasts a long time on me even without reapplication. Fourth, there is no strong scent, and lastly, I love its click-case casing that looks classic, timeless, and elegant.
Here are three of the new shades added in this classic Chanel matte lipstick line including the limited-edition Chanel No.5 shade.
Abstrait โ nude coral-rose, a beautiful complex nude shade that adds a nice flush of color on the lips. My new go-to everyday lip shade for the whole year.
No. 5 โ online this gave me the impression that this is meant to be a true red lip color, but in reality, this is actually red and orange-tinged, and itโs a little too bright and too much for me. My skin tone canโt pull off red-orange colors and this shade seems to draw most of the attention to my lips.
Unique โ wine-red. A pretty dupeable shade, so itโs not really unique, but I love this! Can never have too many burgundies, vamps and any other deep shades this Fall.
I absolutely recommend that you try this Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick, if you havenโt already, and at least take note of the new shades which are timely for this season and even for the whole year round. You will not be disappointed with its color range, pigment, and comfort especially if youโre a matte lover. This is a reliable lipstick to keep forever.
