Dior: Edition Dentelle 5 Couleurs Pearl Glow 059

As per my post on Monday, you will know that I fell hard for Dior's spring collection. Today I will be reviewing one of the "must have" products from the Dentelle collection, the Pearl Glow 059 eye shadow quint ($59.00 CA, LE).






Dior 5 Couleurs Edition Dentelle Pearl Glow 059

I believe this quint qualifies as part of the iridescent line, as it's number begins with a "0" and its texture certainly follows suit.



As you can see the quint has a gorgeous lace embossment on the shadow that makes this almost too pretty to use. It would be a shame though if you didn't use it, because it will look even prettier on your eyes! Swatch done indoor light, no flash on NC 35-40 skin. Shadows swatched clockwise from upper left corner of quint, center colour last.





The quad contains a smokey purple, a frosty white, a delicate pale pink, a silvery taupe and a greyed blue. All colours have a frost/iridescent finish and are buttery soft to apply. I can see this quad being very versatile - you could go light for day by using the taupe as a base, the white as a highlighter and a hint of purple or blue at the lashline or in the crease, or for night you could go smokey with the purple or blue over smudged black liner and one of the lighter shades in the center or inner corner of the eye.

Catch anyone's fancy?

  1. I just got this today too!! I haven't really had a proper play with it yet, but tomorrow I think I will wear the pink and silver, with purple in the crease :) I also got the blush duo and the Pink Bustier lipstick. I like your suggestion for a smokey eye look, I will have to try that out too.

  2. I haven't got a chance to really play with it either, but I think it's good for a variety of looks. I'd love to do a smokey purple eye with the blue shade in the center of the lid or on the inside half. I'll do a EOTD this weekend hopefully!

  5. Hi, was googling up the Dior 059 palette and found your blog. You did a great review on the palette. I just did my review on the palette too. :)

  7. You are welcome. Love the palette, but wished the 3 lighter shades could be more discernible and of course, the blue and purple could be darker. But not complaining as I love the texture and its great staying power. Just dabbing the colors lightly on the lids is quite sufficient to deposit them on my lids and they stay put!
