Look & Review: Dior Amber Design Quint
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bronze, Brown, Dior, Eyeshadow, Gold, Looks, My Collection, Neutral, Reviews
I’m not a huge fan of Dior quints only because their pigmentation is usually too weak for my taste. The quality is great, but most of the time the colors muddy together on my lid.
That being said, I have very mixed feelings about this particular “quint” which I wouldn’t even say is a quint because it only has 4 eyeshadow colors, and one of those is only a “shine” color. In place of the 5th color is a brown gel (I think) liner. To be honest, I felt jipped! I have a ton of brown eyeliners! Ah well, I do see the value in having everything all together in one place I suppose, and to give it credit, the liner was very nice and dark, so it worked well with the palette.
The shadow colors themselves, are pretty nice. They’re not incredibly unique, but they’re very pretty. I love golds and coral colors and browns. It creates a nice soft look, which is great, but not what I’m all about, you know? The shadows are soft and go on smoothly. And on a side note…I’m really liking this lip combo! :-)
What are your thoughts?
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Dior Amber Design quint (as suggested - including liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Cheek & Cheerful mineralized blush
- Lips: Bobbi Brown Brown Metalic lip color + Nice Mix Up tri-color lipgloss
