Chanel Holiday 2017: 822 SILVER SCREEN/SATINÉ Cream Eyeshadow From the LIBRE 2017 NUMÉROS ROUGES Holiday Collection

Longwear Cream Eyeshadow in 822 SILVER SCREEN/SATINÉ from the LIBRE 2017 NUMÉROS ROUGES holiday collection

I’m not surprised anymore to see red and gold in a holiday makeup collection, because it’s typical, or, as the cool kids like to say these days, “#basic.”

I mean, how many times have we seen red and gold holiday makeup collections!? I’ve been doing this for 10 years, and I lost count. So I think it was pretty unusual, in a welcome way, to see Chanel go with red and platinum for the new LIBRE 2017 NUMÉROS ROUGES collection.

And we’re not talking about a basic platinum either.

822 Silver Screen

It’s called 822 Silver Screen, and it’s a warm-toned platinum OMBRE PREMIÈRE, one of Chanel’s Longwear Cream Eyeshadows.

If you look closely, you should see a hint of khaki…

Swatch: 822 SILVER SCREEN/SATINÉ

The khaki took me a little while to see. I had to stare at the swatch on my skin, but as I meditated on it (wait — doesn’t everybody do that with their eyeshadow??), I spotted an essence of khaki green.

Then the mental makeup gears started turning… “Ooh! I’ll do green liner with this eyeshadow. It’ll be magical.”

My hunch was correct. I applied two layers of Silver Screen on top of a dark forest green liner, which emphasized the khaki even more and turned my brown eyes into rich discs of the most delectable dark chocolate…

Mmm…

That’s such a common combo in nature — green and brown — but Mother Nature got it hella right. It’s also a great makeup combo, and it’s nothing short of EVERYTHING for brown eyes.

As a side, you do have to be diligent with Silver Screen, because it sets and dries quickly, so blend any edges right after you pat each layer. In other words, don’t dilly-dally, missy.

Also, because Silver Screen is a flashy metallic, you’ll want to refrain from applying too many layers. More than three, and it starts to look heavy.

Silver Screen is $36, limited edition, and you’ll find it luxuriating on counters now, along with the rest of the Chanel holiday collection.

Your friendly neighborhood Chanel addict,

Karen

    I was wondering about the red and gold thing, too. Even if you see red or gold, it is in unusual pairing. maybe because we have had a lot of red recently for autumn?

    So pretty! Love it paired with the green. I might try it with a really sparse look, no liner except for maybe a little iridescent glitter on the lower lash line, and tons of mascara…. I’ve been on the glitter train for the past few weeks, though! 🙂

    It’s just beautiful, as usual for Chanel. That blush is so lovely I think I could wear it every day. wink wink. 🙂

    Nice job noticing the khaki – it looked a bit pinkish to me in your swatch. And am I the only person on earth who always misspells khaki? I mean, you’d think I’d get it right occasionally.

    I’m liking this pairing. I never would have thought to pair it with green liner and softer pink lips.

    I popped into Nordstrom on the way home from my morning run and swatched this on my arm. (No one was at the counter.) I’ll probably pass on the four red lipsticks because I feel like I’m drowning in lipsticks and can never find the one I want to wear. But this shadow, mmmm, cannot wait to go back and get it.

    This is gorgeous, and i’d already decided i’m ready to buy one of Chanel’s eyeshadows, I’m not sure if it’s going to be this or memory, they’re both so pretty, and should work on me, which is nw20 pinky skin, with dark brown eyes and currently a bronde ombre hair.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
