Chanel Ombre D’Eau

It’s been awhile since I’ve used a liquid-to-powder eyeshadow and until I started using Chanel’s Ombre D’Eau, I forgot just how much. For spring and summer, you can forgo the powder versions and stick to this. It’s the perfect consistency as they feel light and cool upon application, and dries quickly to prevent smudging. (And yes…despite snow elsewhere around U.S., we’ve been shedding our coats in favor of tanks here in Southern California. This past week, it’s been 80+ degrees!)

Ombre D’Eau comes in a small glass tube with a gloss-like applicator. Simple shake the liquid eyeshadow up and apply with the wand. It goes on seamlessly, making blending unnecessary. The shadow is buildable, as it goes on sheer to start and the color intensity is dependent on how much you layer the shadow. It also does not crease at all and to ensure its lasting power, Chanel has included “hydro-soluble polymers” so it stays put for hours! I have these in Sand, a lovely iridescent taupe shade that I’m absolutely crazy about for everyday, and Delta, a beautiful shimmery golden hue that works perfectly for any evening events.

Retails for $32. Check them out and order at Nordstrom.com.
