Chanel Joues Contraste blushes - Page 3

Re: Chanel Joues Contraste blushes

I've had both the US and Euro versions of Rose Dust but only kept the Euro - it's a mauvey/plummy pink. Last I checked strawberrynet.com still had it. The US version has more brown in it.

Re: Chanel Joues Contraste blushes

I missed out on Fandango but I bought Imprevu because Sabrina compared them and Imprevu is close but slightly lighter. She also said that Imprevu is too dark for fair skin but I'm NC20 and it isn't too dark at all. I can apply with ease and I love it.

And I missed out on Enchantresse too!

Re: Chanel Joues Contraste blushes

What about Tempting Beige JC? It looks like a peachy color -- but I am wondering if it runs a little brownish (I don't like it when peachy blushes turn muddy). Just curious about this one also . . .

Re: Chanel Joues Contraste blushes

Thanks for the tip. I imagine this brush is pretty stiff and that's why it's good for getting pigment from some of the more stubborn baked blushes? Does it feel scratchy on the face then too tho?

Chanel Plum Attraction

Gorgeous Soft Berry Wine Plum

It looks so beautiful buffed into the skin! Its definitely pigmented, but buffs out so beautiful

Re: Chanel Joues Contraste blushes

Re: Chanel Joues Contraste blushes

I think some might find it scratchy because of its stiffness, but it actually doesn't bother me that much because I only have to sweep the brush lightly onto my cheeks to deposit the pigment. (Scratchiness is one of my pet peeves btw, that's why I swapped my MAC 226.) The individual bristles are not too thick or stiff but the brush is very dense. It definitely isn't the softest brush out there but I don't find it more scratchy than some other face brushes like say, the NARS Yachiyo (in my experience).

Re: Chanel Joues Contraste blushes

Elegant, right now I experiencing opposite feelings: I love you for showing us those gorgeus pictures of PA but, somehow, they made me want it so badly ... I swore I was going to stop on make up for a bit! I feel happy-guilty. If I were a rich girl ... lalalalaaa

Re: Chanel Joues Contraste blushes

Thanks again! The fact that you mentioned the NARS Yachiyo lets me know we're on the same wavelength, lol. So many people rave about how soft that is and I returned mine because I thought it was horribly scratchy. Maybe they're not all the same.

I tried Plum Attraction yesterday and I LOVE it. SO gorgeous!!!

This doesn't exactly belong in this thread but it's the closest. Has anyone tried the Asia-exclusive Tweed blush #60 Rose Subtil?  Thoughts?

I didn't buy it, but I played with it a few times at the counter. It is a shimmery baby pink, and eventually deeper in the pan, you get a duo - white and pink. I recall that the pigmentation is good on me, much better than Narcisse. Are you buying it?

Thanks for your help! I'm still working on a swap with someone from China and I'm having trouble coming up with something to buy that I couldn't get here. She can only ship powders from there, so she can't get me any nail polishes or glosses, for instance. It sounds like that blush might be a good option for me. I am also looking at that #5 contour brush. Is there anything that you feel is a must-have?

crap - do i need to back up plum attraction??? that thing looks tinyyyy. how long can these things possibly last?

^^ They last very long. I haven't finish one yet, but Rachel has said that one of the JCs she used constantly took her 5 years to finish.

 

Powders... Hmm. I can't think of anything at the moment. I know you thought of Pink Cloud before. There is a quad named White Whisper, which came out with Rose Subtil, but the colours are light and shimmery, because the aim is to brighten the eye area.

How is the texture on White Whisper - are they just shimmery or chunky glittery?

You can see swatches of White Whisper here.

I was at the counter today so I took a good look and swatched it. The pink, white and gold are frosty and light, but there isn't chunky glitter. The gold feels the most grainy on my finger. The black is a satin charcoal without any shimmers. It is LE and the counter only has a few of it left. 

Thanks so much Miss QQ. I can definitely see where that quad would be very eye-brightening. Hmmm.

I just wanted to add my swatch of Rose Petale for anyone here who's considering it. It's a wonderful color on everyone I've tried it on, but here are some swatches on me.

 

On the right, of course.

 

 

 

Applied with a heavier hand, natural lighting indoor.

 

A lighter hand, natural lighting, cloudy, outdoor.

 

I hope the mods don't mind this, but these last two photos I have to give credit to http://sherry-lu.com, because she's the one who took the photos!

Hope it helps anyone who's considering. The texture is just so soft and wonderful, and it's very well pigmented. As you call can see, it photographs BEAUTIFULLY even in extreme detail.

^^You have absolutely gorgeous skin!!  Beautiful pics and Rose Petale looks lovely on you.  I just got it a week or so ago and love it also!

Cetati, RP is gorgeous on you! We love RP!

I agree Cetati - Wow you are so adorable & beautiful!!!! I love that pic of you in the dress - just charmingly beautiful

Cetati you are gorgeous!! You will have everyone wanting RP for sure!!! I'm assuming that's the US version?

 

I have the euro one I received in a swap but I have a hard time getting any colour. I need a stiffer brush. Can anyone tell me how the US and Euro versions compare. I was wondering if I should just go ahead and get the US version? Same question with In Love too. I received the euro one in a swap and I'm curious if the colours differ between versions. Thanks!

I have the US version of RP, which I have heard is softly milled and not baked.  I use a skunk brush with mine and it give me the perfect amount of color -- a flush of color without being overdone.  I really want In Love also -- do you have it already?  I'd love to see a pic!

All my JCs are baked and I use the stiff Chanel blush brush #4 and it works for me. 

Is that brush stiff but still soft Miss QQ? How does it compare to the #5 contour brush? I know they are different shapes but I mean in terms of softness, density, usefulness with the baked JCs?

Thanks for all your compliments. To answer the way earlier question about which version of RP I have---I have the American version and it goes on easily with a soft brush, like a dream.
