OUR EDITORIAL REVIEW
Packaging:
It’s a classy black square box, relatively small in size considering that it contains 5 different shades. This is practical because it can fit in your bag. The palette comes with a mirror, and with 2 double-ended applicators. One has a foam applicator and a liner applicator, the other has a foam applicator with a long eyeshadow brush.
Available Colors:
There are 11 different palettes in this Dior “5 Couleurs” edition. Some are matte finish like Dream Matte, Sienna Embrace, and Touch Matte. The others are satin finish like Magnify, Electrify, Underdress. Others have different types in the same palette that include Matte, shiny, Metallic, Glittery, and Satiny like Electrify. We tested the Electrify palette; It has a medium toned pink coral with a semi opaque finish, a light gold with sparkling metallic finish, light greenish aqua with a pearly finish, medium blue with cool undertones and a satin finish, and dark blue with a pearly finish.
Effect:
This palette has shades ranging from light to dark colors, which helped us create the illusion of the eye shape we wanted. For example, it helped widen small eyes, and define big ones. We loved that the colors are designed to be harmonic with each other, therefore when mixed together (horizontally, vertically or diagonally), they blend easily to create daytime or nighttime looks. We have noticed that its texture is non-powdery, silky and creamy. However, there is some inconsistency in the pigmentation of the shades, some are too highly pigmented and strong, the others are too light and sheer to be seen, they are just mere glitter, so you have to find the right way of using each shade. As for the colors, we thought they are more on the strong side than they are on the natural, second-skin side that only enhances they shape of the eyes. So if you like colorful makeup around the eyes, this palette would be a good option for you.
The eyeshadows are long lasting even for oily lids and even without using a primer. After trying them for a couple of times, we noticed that the eyeshadow didn’t move nor crease for around 5 hours.
Application:
For a natural look: Apply the shade in the middle on the upper eyelid using the round foam brush to give an illusion of opened up eyes, then using the liner brush apply the darker shade (bottom left) along the lash line to define the shape. Using the brush, apply the lightest shade (upper right) under the brow arch and the inner corners of the eyes. You can also apply the pink shade on the entire upper lid for a morning glowy look. For a sophisticated look: Apply the shade in the middle on the entire upper eyelid suing the round foam brush. Then apply the darkest shade on the outer corners of the eyes. Then apply the left bottom shade to highlight the middle of they eyelids.
Price:
$62 on the official website of Dior. 5 x 0.24 oz/ 7 mL , which is pricey compared to its small size and small number of shades in each palette. However, if you are into high-end brands, and searching for a eyeshadow palette with nice shades and a long-lasting effect, this product might be suitable for you.

the shimmer is light, with a subtle elegance to it. the pigment stays for a long time, while the colors complement and range from day to night application as a variance. I am not a fan of the brushes, especially the sponge quickly deteriorates after a few uses. – this is typical of all sponge-applicators.

I have the 777 exalt palette, and I use it almost everyday. It’s easy to blend i do it with my finger on the go. It is a bit pricey but the pigments are so nice giving a well blended no-makeup effect, perfect for daily use and work. Plus it comes in a small box so it fits nicely in my travel trousse.
I would go for more vibrant colors next time and keep it for special occasions since it is possible to find nude colors for lower prices.

“I have the 157 MAGNIFY, and I had really high hopes for this one, but was slightly disappointed, which has pink/mauve shades. The colors are really nice on the palette, that’s why you would buy it. But when you apply it, you won’t be very happy. I had to apply the color like 5 times, for it to appear, and the light shades won’t appear at all. It’s really pricey for a palette that has 5 shades, which you will need to apply half of it for each eye.”

“This is the high end of the spectrum… so if you’re into luxurious and expensive makeup this is definitely a jewel. Comparing to its price, the size of it is pretty small and 5 shades are squeezed into 2/3 of the palette whilst the remaining third is occupied by 2 little eye shadow brushes which I honestly substituted with my finger since they absorb 50% of the product. The packaging is very simple, typical Dior “”La simplicité fait la beauté”” style. Enough about the packaging, let’s get started about the shades, I have the 557 focus palette and the shades are simply so versatile that you could create an endless amount of looks with them. All in all, this is by far one of my favorites!”
