I think you're right about luxury shadows being lower pigment. It's the market. A true luxury customer (think the kind of person for whom quiet luxury was the way they were raised, not a meme-trend) NEVER goes full warpaint clown. I wore Estee Lauder for years, and the transition to brands with big pigment was real, I can tell you. When people say these shadows are "bad," I think that's not actually true -- they're just for a different market.
Yes, I get where you're coming from. I loved the lower pigment load of the mattes and the one satin (center shade) but the two metallic shades were hard to pick up and hard to see on my eye. I thought that with my fair skin tone, this would be the perfect quint to try out, and I really like 3 out of the 5, but I'm quite disappointed in the metallic shades. They're not very long wearing, hard to apply, and don't show up very well. Thanks so much for watching today and sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it.
The nostalgia of a sponge-tipped applicator -- and the memory of buying a 12-pack of them because the ones that came with the compact are grody and you need fresh ones! I converted to brushes pretty early, but oh, that first swipe with a new sponge tip is a memory.
Yes, I loved a sponge tip applicator. I remember getting a hole in one of the original ones from my Clinique single, and just flipping it over and kept going. : )
Hi Rebecca 😊 Just some food for thought - Dior reformulated their quints last year and they are nowhere near as good as the previous ones. Luckily the Dior quints I have are the older formula. That being said the new “limited edition” quints are lovely, it’s only the quints in the permanent line that are not as good now. The little sponge applicators are really good for applying the shimmery shades (like to pack them on the eyelids). Dior and Chanel eyeshadow/makeup by definition are soft and subtle so they flatter mature eyes. The Cle De Peau quads are divine. By comparison the YSL quads are full on pigments so if you like that (and ND, Pat McGrath etc) then I’d give Dior & Chanel a miss bc you’ll never get the colour payoff. I also have sensitive eyes and there is definitely a difference between luxury and “drugstore” brands for eyeshadow in terms of irritation for me. I’m 50 and have tried many brands over the years but these days I prefer luxury brands only and buy less makeup overall. I’m more likely to put non-luxury products on my lips but never on my eyes. Glad you tried the Dior quint, but there are much better colour stories than this one. It sounds like the YSL quads are a better fit for you though. I have the YSL babylone roses quad but it’s too glittery and the fallout really irritates my eyes. So I have to pass on more YSL quads despite the fact they are really lovely.
Thanks so much for the detailed run down of these luxury shadows. I'm not a huge PMG fan. I don't mind the pigmentation, but the price point seems a bit over the top. I don't seem to reach for the special shades as much as others do, so they mothership palettes don't hold much allure for me. I only have 2, and I'll have to be completely bowled over to pick up another one. I've heard that the Chanel quads are much less pigment. I'll likely skip those quads. I'm not expecting extreme pigment, but I want to see the metallics int this Dior quad show up with less effort, and last longer throughout the day. I try not to purchase limited edition products because once they're gone, it's more difficult for me to use them on my channel. I don't like showing something you can't get your hands on. I'll have to pick up a Cle de Peau quad. I've also heard great things about the Surratt shadows. I'll probably pick up one of the premade color stories later on this year. I've always appreciate the quality of luxury eyeshadows compared to drugstore brands. Like you, I don't mind a drugstore lippie (or face powder) but I've stopped purchasing drugstore eyeshadows. They just don't work for me.
@@thelipstickgal LOL I’m the same with PMG - I have 2 motherships (got them at 40% as they are over AUD200). But I just don’t reach for them. I do have the ND retro and glam palettes, but in general I find I’m using my smaller quints/quads more from Dior, Chanel, Suqqu, CDP, TF, Guerlain, Viseart, LE. The only bigger palette that I really love is the new Byredo mineralscapes. That is just gorgeous. To be honest I think Viseart palettes are so great, esp for the price. You can get soft or deeper looks and the shimmers are lovely and easy to use. They are truly better than the new Dior quints IMO. I have the “old” Dior quints in soft cashmere, Tutu, Denim, plum tulle plus 2x limited from last year Eden roc and Night walk (holiday). I won’t be buying any more Dior unless I’m truly wowed and reviews confirm good quality because Dior quints are all AUD120+ now. I already have a great collection (built before prices skyrocketed) and I’ll never use everything I have as it is!!! So, I’m just much more mindful about what I add these days and I don’t have any daughters to share things with (just 1 son 14yo). Totally agree about limited edition products in general….its so annoying and I refuse to participate in the frenzy that they usually come with (esp Chanel, Dior). It also makes no sense for content creators to focus too much on limited edition items when they are often sold out by the time you review them - there’s no return on your investment there. I really like how you use a mix of new products + what you already have. It reminds us to enjoy our collections more and not constantly stay in the “buy buy buy” mindset, especially in the current economic climate. I hope you are doing well health wise and it’s remarkable that you find the time to create such great content for us with everything else you have going on in your life including working FT. THANKYOU It is really appreciated 🌷
I feel that Chanel has even less color payoff in their shadows, I love Chanel products but not the shadows, I’ll stay with Viseart or Sydney Grace, they are beautiful and don’t accentuate the texture. I have been wanting that Danessa Myricks cheek product, love the Chanel highlighter balm and the lippies. Have a great weekend 💕
I'm so glad I picked up the Chanel Baume Essentiel, it's so lovely. I'm also really enjoying the Danessa Myricks lowlighter. It's not light enough for me to use as a highlighter, but as a glowy blush, it's stunning! Thanks so much for watching today.
With Dior you have two types of formulas, baked gelee and baked. You have the baked one. I have Soft Cashmere (also baked) and the metallic in that one is very shiny. The baked gelee ones are all quite subtle but very elegant on the eye. I tend to accessorize them with a bit of a liquid lurex from LE for extra sparkle. I actually got a YSL quad where the shimmer shade was not super wow-ing. So in conclusion, when it comes to the luxury eyeshadow realm, there is a lot of variety and it really depends which palette you get.
I love knowing how best to use my products. I appreciate your sharing your knowledge. I only have one ysl quad, but I really enjoy it. I didn't know if the rest of the quads perform the same way, but I'm pleased with how it's been working for me. Thanks so much for watching today. I appreciate you taking the time to shade your knowledge. ☺️
The Dior Quints were reformulated some time ago and many feel they don't perform as well. I bought one from Ulta some time ago and it was the old formula and it packed a punch!
Interesting! I used to hear that the Dior quints were amazing. I didn't know that they got reformulated. That's on me, I should've done more research before just blind purchasing. Thanks for watching today.
Good to know. I have plenty of blingy shadows, and I've been enjoying the quint since I recorded this. I've changed my expectations of what I'm going to get from the baked shades, and if I want more sparkle, I'll reach for a single shadow to top the look of with. Thanks so much for watching today!
I'm 40 and have been reading and watching lots of reviews of luxury eyeshadows lately. I think you're right--in general, they seem to be less pigmented and more subtle. That said, I didn't get a good impression of those Dior quints after reading about them. I just picked up a Tom Ford creme quad myself in Tiger Eye and absolutely LOVE the textures on my eyes. But it's not worth $90. (I didnt pay full price and wouldn't.)
I've had one TF quad before, and I also didn't think it was worth the $88 price point. (at the time) I should've looked into the Dior quint reviews before boldly moving forward and purchasing, but . . . Sometimes I get on a roll, and throw caution to the wind. Thanks so much for your thoughts, and making the time to watch today.
I'm glad that I changed to a synthetic brush, but I still wasn't happy with the outcome. That's ok, I'll keep trying it and check back. I've been loving the Chanel highlight. It's so pretty on my mature skin, and I love that it's basically a clear base with minimal shimmer and mostly moisturizing glow. LOVE!
Love this video! Those Armani glosses are some of my favorites. Pair with the Freck lipliners and they last a really long time. Without being goopy! Thanks for the other great recommendations!
I've already plowed through so much of my gloss. My oldest likes it too, so I'm having to go to her room to find my Prisma Glass. 😂 Thanks so much for watching today and I hope you enjoy your weekend.
I adore the YSL quads, and I am also at the point where I do not like powder highlights. I love the merit sticks and today I may be pulling the trigger on the new Patrick Ta. I have been hesitating in the plump gloss from Charlotte T, and I don’t know why 😂😂😂. I love Dior lip products but am not impressed with their quads - never have been. I think you were spot on
I ordered the Patrick Ta yesterday. I hope it gets here soon! I love the Merit highlights, but this Chanel one has a different feeling on the skin. I feel like the shine of the Merit one is more obvious, and the Chanel one is just a little more hydrating, and less sparkly. I'm super impressed. I'm going to pull out the Westman Atelier again and try it out. Maybe my preferences have changed since my skin is changing so quickly these days from perimenopause. I might like the really glowy, and hydrating Westman A highlight stick. Thanks for watching today Quincy.
@@thelipstickgal I actually think I’m gonna skip the highlighters to be honest from Patrick, which is shocking, but I just don’t think I would use the both formulas. I love my Becca champagne, pop powder - I know so old-school, lol - and the merit. Between the blushes that I wear, which are really beautiful and hydrating, my skin is usually reallypretty aluminous without an obvious highlighter. So, I completely get what you’re saying. But I can’t wait to see everybody’s review of them, the Patrick ones, because I might give in and get this the silver or the pink one. Which one did you get?
I own Soft Cashmere in a Dior quint and I like it but you’ll usually get more punch from Viseart. I love the shades and for a softer look it’s very nice.
I like the softer look too. I wasn't disappointed with the mattes and the satin, but the two sparkly shades were not what I was expecting. I wanted there to be more visible pigment, and for them to wear well. That's ok, this is how I learn. Thanks so much for watching today!
I have a couple of the DM blushes and I wish she would do more colors that are muted/paler bc I love them but they hit 100 on me fast too. I like how the hot pink looks but this highlighter pink is prob a better bet for me.
I love the shade Rosé and Brunch. It works well for me if I am careful. I also have Golden Hour, but it's so bright. It takes a lot of finessing for me to get it to look good without being too much. I really like the lowlighter in I bothered. It's a subtle shine and a lovely cool shade on my cheeks. Thanks for watching.
I was so sad about the Armani because it felt numbing on the lips but there was no mention of plumping. I only saw a few reviews mention it but it wasn’t very glossy though it was comfy. Lol @CT haven’t tried that one but the Gucci ones totally turned my lips red.
I didn't notice much numbing or plumping. I had such a slight tingle, I was wondering if it was tingling. I'm still trying to decide if it's tingling or it's my imagination. Apparently your lips are more sensitive than mine are. I totally skipped the Gucci because I heard that the color doesn't matter, it's so plumping that all you see are red lip no matter the shade you pick up.
@@thelipstickgal ha yes so maybe it was slight tingling. Yea it was bizarre, i heard kackie mention it and i had already ordered it and was like ok il try. It was def not terrible but i was unsure about it since i couldn’t find any ingredients that would do that. When i dug around i found a few reviews about it but that’s it Yes! The Gucci was all burn and just red lol so there was no point when the color doesn’t look like it appears. The Patrick ta are the only ones that had cinnamon and mint but i felt more cooling & those didn’t bother me at all, i just didn’t love the smell ha. Otherwise i think most mixed ones have the spicy overtake the cooling aspect.
Idk about that Dior eyeshadow but I LOVE BEIGE MITZAH!!!! And the DIOR SMOKEY ESSENTIALS pallet is everything!!!! I just love those warm neutrals for you Fawn bronzer colored eyeshadow or like teak perfection I’m trying to make me a look in these shades I don’t know what blush to go with it Not Too much maybe lol 🤍🤍🤍
I second you with beige mitzah and Smokey essentials 🙂 The backstage palettes are fantastic (and better value) - I get a lot of use from the cool and silver essentials (wish this was permanent!). @thelipstickgal I highly recommend trying one of the backstage 9 pan eyeshadow palettes when they come on sale somewhere? Based on your preferences I’d say Smokey essentials would be a great fit for you 🙂
@marionallon2222 I've been thinking about a backstage Dior palette, but I just haven't decided to try it out. These quints seem more luxe than the clear packaging for the 9 pans. That's ok, maybe I'll prefer the formula in the 9 pans more. Thanks!
@nicolefretwell6109 I'll have to check out the Backstage palettes. I was hoping that the quints would be more luxe because of the difference in packaging, but perhaps I need not worry about the packaging and go for the quality. I'll check one out when the next sephora sale or ulta 20% off comes around. Thanks so much for watching today!
I love me some Danessa Myricks but I was disappointed in and returned my Danessa Myricks Lowlighter in "Unbothered" because it looked soooo yellow and warm on me. It does have a cool-toned lavender shift but the base is so warm-yellow, so that if I looked at my face head-on it looks like I ran into some pollen or something. You're making me want that Chanel Baume Essentielle, though. Can you update how it wears? I age 50+ and I love Khaki but she has totally different skin so I can't trust her recommendation.
I've been wearing it for nearly a week, and I'm in love. My 16 year old loves it too. I think that it's a universally flattering product. I do want you to keep in mind that it's very hydrating. Some people won't like the feel on the cheeks. I don't feel like it's tacky or heavy, but when you touch your cheek, there's definitely a balmy feel to the skin. I like the way it wears, but the hydration sinks in about 4 hours after application. I can' reapply, but It doesn't make my blush or foundation look messy as it absorbs into my skin. If you like cream products, I think you'd like the Baume Essentiel. I like it under my corrector and concealer better than over my corrector and concealer. Placing it over the coverage products was Kackie's hack, but I get amazing wear with I tap on a light layer first, then put on my coverage products. Thanks so much for watching today!
I bought a Dior quint last year as a birthday present with a voucher from my mother-in-law. I was quite underwhelmed. They are nice eyeshadows, but that's it. No more or less nice than eyeshadows from Beauty Bay or Morphe. I'd like to try a YSL palette just to compare now, but honestly, I think the pricing of makeup has gone bizarre at the moment! I love the look of that highlighter though. Might have to be a purchase soon.... 🙂
Yes, the price increases are insane! I wish I didn't feel like I was being taken advantage of when purchasing some of these luxury products. Obviously it wasn't much of a deterrent. I like the matte and the satin shades, but those metallics leave much to be desired. Thanks so much for watching today, and taking the time to share your experience.
There are times that makeup brings me so much joy that I'm giddy with excitement. I love that. That's why I have this channel. I'm glad that my enjoyment comes through in my videos. That's always my goal. It's a lovely palette, and I've been loving it so much. Thanks for watching today!
Ooh, that's next on my list of luxury eyeshadows to try. I think I'll skip chanel because I've heard that they're very low pigment. I don't need to look like a clown, but I want to see what I apply show up visible on the lid. Thanks so much for the recommendation. Have a wonderful weekend.
Oh dear, I'm just comparing in my mind your face gestures using the Dior quint and ND golden palette😅 I tried long time ago a quint by Dior and I thought of drugstore shadows with nice package and those nostalgic minisponge applicators that nobody seems to care about anymore but they still do
Yes, it was quite a difference between the ND experience and this Dior quint. That's why I do this. I want to know! I was expecting more. I wasn't aware that Dior had reformulated the quints last year. That would've been something I would've picked up on if I had done some research. All I could remember was how people were raving about the dior quints several years ago. I like the color story, but I really struggle with the lack of pigmentation with those 2 metallic shades. Thanks for watching today. Have a wonderful weekend!
I had the same underwhelming experience with dior toile de joy pallete. Disappointing isn't it? I also had heard good things but reality didn't live up to moderate expectation.
I'm sorry you had the same experience with the same palette. I really wanted to love this. I really like the shades, and the textures of the mattes and the satin, but . . . those metallics are just sad. : (

I just love those warm neutrals for you Fawn bronzer colored eyeshadow or like teak perfection I’m trying to make me a look in these shades I don’t know what blush to go with it Not Too much maybe lol 🤍🤍🤍
I second you with beige mitzah and Smokey essentials 🙂 The backstage palettes are fantastic (and better value) - I get a lot of use from the cool and silver essentials (wish this was permanent!). @thelipstickgal I highly recommend trying one of the backstage 9 pan eyeshadow palettes when they come on sale somewhere? Based on your preferences I’d say Smokey essentials would be a great fit for you 🙂
@marionallon2222 I've been thinking about a backstage Dior palette, but I just haven't decided to try it out. These quints seem more luxe than the clear packaging for the 9 pans. That's ok, maybe I'll prefer the formula in the 9 pans more. Thanks!
@nicolefretwell6109 I'll have to check out the Backstage palettes. I was hoping that the quints would be more luxe because of the difference in packaging, but perhaps I need not worry about the packaging and go for the quality. I'll check one out when the next sephora sale or ulta 20% off comes around. Thanks so much for watching today!
Yeah!!!! I love your whistles 🤣🤣🤣🤍🤍🤍
He he he!
Love this! Ty🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching!
I love me some Danessa Myricks but I was disappointed in and returned my Danessa Myricks Lowlighter in "Unbothered" because it looked soooo yellow and warm on me. It does have a cool-toned lavender shift but the base is so warm-yellow, so that if I looked at my face head-on it looks like I ran into some pollen or something. You're making me want that Chanel Baume Essentielle, though. Can you update how it wears? I age 50+ and I love Khaki but she has totally different skin so I can't trust her recommendation.
I've been wearing it for nearly a week, and I'm in love. My 16 year old loves it too. I think that it's a universally flattering product. I do want you to keep in mind that it's very hydrating. Some people won't like the feel on the cheeks. I don't feel like it's tacky or heavy, but when you touch your cheek, there's definitely a balmy feel to the skin.
I like the way it wears, but the hydration sinks in about 4 hours after application. I can' reapply, but It doesn't make my blush or foundation look messy as it absorbs into my skin. If you like cream products, I think you'd like the Baume Essentiel. I like it under my corrector and concealer better than over my corrector and concealer. Placing it over the coverage products was Kackie's hack, but I get amazing wear with I tap on a light layer first, then put on my coverage products.
Thanks so much for watching today!
@@thelipstickgal OOOh, thanks. I've been looking at the Baume Essentielle for a few years and might just go for one now!
I bought a Dior quint last year as a birthday present with a voucher from my mother-in-law. I was quite underwhelmed. They are nice eyeshadows, but that's it. No more or less nice than eyeshadows from Beauty Bay or Morphe. I'd like to try a YSL palette just to compare now, but honestly, I think the pricing of makeup has gone bizarre at the moment! I love the look of that highlighter though. Might have to be a purchase soon.... 🙂
Yes, the price increases are insane! I wish I didn't feel like I was being taken advantage of when purchasing some of these luxury products. Obviously it wasn't much of a deterrent. I like the matte and the satin shades, but those metallics leave much to be desired. Thanks so much for watching today, and taking the time to share your experience.
Thank you for posting such a positive and happy video. It made me smile when you said you felt giddy with excitement over nd golden palette ❤
There are times that makeup brings me so much joy that I'm giddy with excitement. I love that. That's why I have this channel. I'm glad that my enjoyment comes through in my videos. That's always my goal. It's a lovely palette, and I've been loving it so much. Thanks for watching today!
Hi LSG have you tried the eye shadows from Surratt? Great formula for people with textured eyes :)
Ooh, that's next on my list of luxury eyeshadows to try. I think I'll skip chanel because I've heard that they're very low pigment. I don't need to look like a clown, but I want to see what I apply show up visible on the lid. Thanks so much for the recommendation. Have a wonderful weekend.
@@thelipstickgal Good decision, skip Chanel! Happy weekend to you too 😃
Oh dear, I'm just comparing in my mind your face gestures using the Dior quint and ND golden palette😅 I tried long time ago a quint by Dior and I thought of drugstore shadows with nice package and those nostalgic minisponge applicators that nobody seems to care about anymore but they still do
Yes, it was quite a difference between the ND experience and this Dior quint. That's why I do this. I want to know! I was expecting more. I wasn't aware that Dior had reformulated the quints last year. That would've been something I would've picked up on if I had done some research. All I could remember was how people were raving about the dior quints several years ago. I like the color story, but I really struggle with the lack of pigmentation with those 2 metallic shades.
Thanks for watching today. Have a wonderful weekend!
@@thelipstickgal you too! Enjoy the weekend.
I had the same underwhelming experience with dior toile de joy pallete. Disappointing isn't it? I also had heard good things but reality didn't live up to moderate expectation.
I'm sorry you had the same experience with the same palette. I really wanted to love this. I really like the shades, and the textures of the mattes and the satin, but . . . those metallics are just sad. : (
