Hello November! New month, new eyeshadows! and itโs from Chanel. Today weโre gonna be talking about the Chanel Stylo Fresh Effect Eyeshadow. I got three of them that Iโve been using lately, namely; Brun Chatain (brown), Beige Dore (Gold), and Laurier Rose (Peachy Rose).
Theyโre very similar to Laura Mercierโs Caviar Stick and Marc Jacobsโ Twinkle Pop Stick Eyeshadow in the sense that theyโre both cream eyeshadows in a stick/pen-style applicator. But they differ a lot by their respective formulations. I have reviewed the Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks HERE and the Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pops HERE. Now, itโs time to scrutinize Chanelโs Stylo Fresh Effect Eyeshadow.
The colors that I picked up are extremely wearable, be it by any skin tone. They have a cooling effect on the lid once applied, just like Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop, which is really awesome because they indeed give a fresh effect on the lid. Somehow, these eyeshadows are slightly easier to blend than Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop, but theyโre not as super blendable as Laura Mercierโs Caviar Stick. Itโs gonna take a few more strokes of a blending brush to get these babies to blend, but once theyโre blended, theyโll create a very natural and complementing tone on the eyes. Theyโre creamy, yes, but they donโt budge nor smudge. They stay put for a long time and they donโt have any scent. The Stylo way of applying these eyeshadows allow for a more precise application, although, if you have small eyes, Asian eyes, etcโฆ you might still need to master how to apply these precisely. Using a brush wonโt hurt.
- Brun Chatain โ Slightly shimmery brown. A great wearable brown for everyday eye makeup. I like this for eyelid contouring, and itโs also soft enough for a daytime wear. A basic and a must-have.
- Beige Dore โ Nude-Beige Gold Shimmer. Great for highlighting around the inner eye, but due to my medium-tone skin, this has the tendency to blend in with my skin. I usually just add more of it to emphasize its shade more. Still, so good for day to day looks.
- Laurier Rose โ Shimmery Peachy Antique Rose. Interesting shade and very beautiful in person. I thought this was gonna make me look like a crime scene victim
but nope. It looks gorge on medium skin, and itโs not that reddish. It just gives enough warmth to my skin and it looks unique.
These are really great eyeshadows, they save time, theyโre easy to use and theyโre more precise to apply than the usual powder ones. I love the array of shades that Chanel provided for this line, even though most of them are limited editions. But if youโd ask me whether Iโd prefer these over Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop Eyeshadow or Laura Mercier Caviar Stick, I think Nope. I like these a lot, but if I have to choose only one, I would pick Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks, because they seem to be slightly more pigmented and more blendable than the others.
So, which ones do you prefer among the three? Have you tried these?
