Dior Designer Quint in Green Design review and look.
October 29, 2010 1 Comment

I got my hands on Dior’s Designer Quintet Eyeshadow in Green Design from the Sephora F&F sale. It’s pretty exciting. I really like it, and the shadows are smooth and easy to apply and blend. They are also, however, ridiculously shimmery, to the point where it’s borderline inappropriate for the office. It sure is pretty though! The colors are perfect for a fall smoky look, and it comes with helpful instructions in a fold-out sheet to help you. Even someone as uncreative as I am can come up with something easily. You can see above that it comes with these helpful labels on a film (also available in booklet) to figure out the order. I didn’t use the sponges or the brush provided–I always find them too awkward and difficult to use. For this look I preferred to use brushes and it applied just fine.

This would be amazing for a night out. The colors are rich and pigmented, and the dark green in particular is absolutely stunning. The highlight is so extremely shimmery that the glitter-lover in me shouted for joy, but it also had no fall out that I can detect. How is that for perfection? The #1 warm beige “base” color is really sheer and shimmery, while the actual “colors” themselves are quite pigmented enough for anything. The upper left green looks deceptively light in this photo, as it goes on really nice and dark.
For this look I’ve put it together with a bunch of other Dior products I own for you!
