How To Create 4 Looks with One Eyeshadow Palette

This week, the gorgeous LES 4 OMBRES collection from Chanel launched with stunning eye products that are beautiful, intense and just plain gorgeous!

Today, I’ll show  you, step-by-step, how you can easily create 4 looks with one palette! Each one of the CHANEL LES 4 OMBRES palettes comes with 4 unique shadows. These colours can be used alone or combined in different ways to create a multitude of unique looks. But let’s stick to four main looks today; a natural look, an intense look, an almond-shaped look and of course, a smoky look.

How to use your Chanel Les 4 Ombres Palette

Each palette contains four shades. This little guide will help you identify which shade goes where on the lid.

Each one of the four looks below is complimented with Chanel’s Le Volume Mascara in black as well as Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof mascara, also in black.

These guides can be used on any of the palettes in the Chanel Les 4 Ombres collection, so have fun and start creating luscious looks…

One Palette, 4 Looks

For a natural look using Chanel Les 4 Ombres palette, follow these steps:

1. Sweep shade A over the entire lid
2. Apply shade B to the outer corner of the eyelid, right up to the outer corners of the crease/ fold and blend inwards
3. Add shade C to the eyelid fold and softly blend in.

For an intense look using Chanel Les 4 Ombres palette, follow these steps:

1. Apply Shade C to the entire lid
2. Use shade B to structure the eyes at the outer corner of the eyelid, up to the eyelid fold and blend inwards
3. Apply the intense shade, shade D along the base of the upper and lower lashes, going from the outer corner inwards. This will give the eyes a bigger, wide-open effect
4. Apply the highlighting shade A to the inner corner of the eyelid and blend inwards.

For an almond shaped look using Chanel Les 4 Ombres palette, follow these steps:

1. Apply shade B to half of the eyelid, starting at the outer corner and working inwards
2. Apply the intense shade D to the rest of the eyelid, from the inner corner outwards
3. Apply shade C to the eyelid fold and blend in
4. Enhance the eyes by using the highlighting shade A under the entire brow bone. Blend the different shades together with a clean eyeshadow brush.

For a smoky look using Chanel Les 4 Ombres palette, follow these steps:

1. Apply shade B to the entire eyelid
2. Sweep a wide line of shade D along the row of the upper and lower lashes, from the outer corner inwards. Lightly soften this using clean blending brush to intensify the eyes
3. Apply shade C to the eyelid fold and blend with two shades (B and D)
4. Apply the highlighting shade A under the brow bone. Blend downwards and towards the inner corner of the eyelid.
