When you ladies do a red lip -- do you do an understated neutral eye? I really want to be brave one day and try out a red lip. But I usually emphasize the eyes. It would really be out of my comfort zone!

not me... not recently. I will do Rouge Fatale or Rivoli with a darkly lined and darkly defined eye... I look like an old rocker back from a night out.. lol. I do the lips as a deep stain tho.. so very unChanel looking... yeah.

I do it 2 ways. The first kinda like hergreyness, but I do browns on my eyes with a deeper brown liner & waterline. Its not over the top smokey, but its a medium/dark smokey eye.

My new way is a very light lid, almost like the lighter side of the Taupe duo, then I only line the top lashline dark. <--- verrrrry sexy with a red lip.

The great thing about Flamboyante is that it can be a VERY wearable subtle red but still stunning.

So I've never purchased Chanel because of the price BUT am LOVVVVING the 5 shadow palette! The colors are gorgeous! So I might shell out the money for this one. Worth the price you think?

Cafe Makeup has FOTD with the quint and it looks gorgeous on her! The pearlescent glow is beautiful!

I guess it will be quiet here today and tomorrow. I bought for myself a little Chanel gift today, Vitalumiere Aqua foundation, n/p base coat and Hydramax cream. The MA wrapped it up for me, in black paper with the CC logo all over and black & gold ribbon. Merry Chanel Christmas, ladies!

Gorgeous Gorgeous medium Strawberry Red with Pink undertones. BEAUTIFUL on!
[/quote] Ok, I take this as a Christmas present, the colour is great! Thanks for the pictures and swatches. And have a safe trip! [quote name="mrslid" url="/forum/thread/170819/chanel-spring-2011/690#post_2063992"] Elegant you've made Flamboyante a must on my list now!! Thanks...I think LOL
 
Thanks for thinking of me everyone!! The surgery went well and I feel great. I had my follow up appt today and my vision isn't so great in my right eye. I have some inflamation so hopefully that is the only cause. It's pretty frustrating that I can't see as well as I need to. It sure is a heck of a lot better than no glasses prior surgery of course but I can't read street signs or anything. It is supposed to get better though and hopfully the infammation is behind the poorer vision.
 
I hope everyone has a fantastic holiday!!! Hopefully we are filled with as much joy as our little Chanel deliveries bring us ;-)

[/quote] I am more of a grey with red lip wearer, browns normally do not do a lot for me and I prefer blue-reds. The lower lid is free, but I tend to line the upper lid and have some darker shadow at the outer corner.

Merry Christmas Eve!
I got my 2nd delivery today. Rose Dust blush is really pretty -- kind of a neutral-y pink with a hint of plum. I actually like Rose Comete -- it isn't too frosty on me and I love the lilac-pink color. I think it would be really pretty with a gloss on top. I got Imagination RA and it is a bright cool pink. I love the color -- just wondering if I can pull off the bright pink (maybe closer to Spring and Summer??).
Anyways, maybe next week I can get some pictures up and also pics of the Spring 2011 stuff I got.
To those celebrating -- have a wonderful holiday! And a wonderful weekend to everyone!

I have been downright addicted to the Espiegle JC. I received it a few days ago and have been using it nonstop! It's gorgeously peachy pink on my skintone, and very similar to the effect I get with Ripe Peach b/o actually, except it has the most flattering golden shimmer that acts like a highlighter at the same time. I can't stop looking at my cheeks!
