Dior: Edition Dentelle 5 Couleurs Coquette 743

Dior's latest collection features two quints, the dramatic Pearl Glow 059, and the understated and elegnant Coquette 743. Coquette 743 offers a range of lovely sophisticated shades.


Dior Edition Dentelle 5 Couleurs Coquette 743.



A beautiful lace embossment adorns the four outer shades which have the trademark buttery, silky texture Dior shadows are known for. Swatches on NC 35-40 skin, indoors, no flash. Swatches are clockwise, from top left, with the center shade at the end.




The shades are: a beigey taupe, a pale peach, a medium neutral smokey grey, a medium greyed purple and a matte pale pink with silver sparkles. The four outer colours are a satin finish, which means they are cross between a matte and a frost - luminous without being obviously frosty, an eye shadow texture which Dior does very well.  The center colour is a matte finish - this is the only shade I don't care for, as the silver sparkles fall out immediately upon application. I think the four outer shades are wonderful though.  They can function as neutrals but are a little bit more interesting than your avaerage brown. I think the purple is particularly gorgeous!
