Dior Sweeten 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette Review
Dior Sweeten (847) 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette (£45.00 for 7 g / 0.24 oz) is a combination of five rosy and lilac shades in very light tones. This is what I can easily call the perfect eyeshadow combination for spring. Well, at least for my taste since you know I’m obsessed with these shades.
They all have a good color payoff, but don’t expect a super pigmented eyeshadows here. They will show very well on the lid, but the focus is a luminous makeup. So what you’d basically get is a that satin, almost metallic finish and sheen. It’s absolutely lovely if you want a very metallic pastel look. HERE is one of my makeup looks but you can see more on my Instagram Highlights.
I like using this palette for a day makeup look, when I’m looking for a fresh, luminous and light makeup. The shades instantly brighten up my eyes and give me that feminine, youthful look. I would have definitely preferred a matte finish shade in this palette, at least as a transition color. The lightest shade is quite sheer and has a lot of silver sparkle.
The formula is not very creamy or buttery, but it’s definitely soft and light. When I dip my brush into the pan they kick off a bit of an excess powder. The dark lilac shade has a formula that feels a bit dryer than the rest. I personally like this palette because of the color combination. I can’t say the eyeshadows have a great quality as they could work a bit more on the formula.
They apply well, easily buildable and blendable. They adhere well on the lid if you use an eyeshadow primer to intensify that metallic finish. I tried a makeup look only using these five shades but as a hooded eye girl, I definitely felt the need of a matte transition shade. You can’t use satin and metallics without at least a matte color. At least this is what I felt.
Otherwise the palette is really nice, the colors combination is lovely. I got around seven hours wear with them before I noticed they slightly loose their intensity.

Dior’s eyeshadow quints have all suffered from poor pigmentation over the past few years. This is very disappointing as you pay a premium price for the product.
