wearing the new Chanel Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eyeshadow in Tissé Poésie on my eyes
Darling, you’re so fancy! You’re so fancy with your tweed shift dress and your strand o’ pearls and your Kate Spade purse and your boots with the fur…
Wait — the boots there took it in the wrong direction.

I guess what I’m trying to say is this: sometimes drugstore just won’t do.
Although I love it. Don’t get me wrong, drugstore has its time and place, but sometimes it just won’t do, you know? like when you’re heading to the Hamptons or Napa or a fancy to-do, and you want/need something a little more special or dressy than your usual fare.
Sometimes, you just want to treat yo’ self, and for those occasions, Chanel has new eyeshadow quads.

Yup, there’s some exciting stuff happening at Chanel this fall. They’re relaunching their famous Les 4 Ombres Quadra eyeshadows in a completely new baked formula.
Unlike the classic quads with the square pans, the pans in these new quads ($61 each and available now), which were inspired by Chanel’s vibrant tweed trappings, have a round shape and a baked formula.
The tweed theme is one Chanel has done before. You might remember the (now discontinued) tweed blushes from back in the day.
So, the theme isn’t a new one for Chanel, but they’ve taken it in a slightly different direction.
Chanel Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eyeshadows in Tissé Vendôme, Tissé Vénitien, Tissé Poésie, Tissé Rivoli, Tissé Mademoiselle and Tissé Poésie
The threads here are metaphorical, as in the relationship among the colors in each quad. Each quad includes the colors to do an entire eye look from start to finish. You have two medium tones for color and contrast, a deeper shade for contouring and a light shade to highlight and illuminate.
The new baked formula also lasts a very long time (7-8 hours on my combination dry/oily lids), so if you have an all-day affair, you can apply one of these in the morning on top of a primer — I like NARS pro Prime, which is the one I’ve been using with these — and the shadows won’t crease or smudge.
And you can do a bunch of different looks with each of these quads. You could dress it down using one of the lighter medium shades all over your lids, and then maybe add the darkest shade on your lash lines to keep it really simple. Or, you could go fancy-pants on that @ss with something more complicated.
Each of the quads actually comes with a little booklet to walk you through a few different looks.
Here’s the thing, though — I’ve been using five of the nine new quads, mostly the neutrals and one of the brights (the breathtaking bright green one on the Chanel website right now), and I’ve noticed that finish-wise, you don’t get a lot of matte options. There’s a lot of shimmer here, but I like to have a little bit of matte up in the mix, just because my creases aren’t super deep, so I like to define them with something deep and matte for depth.
You could achieve that depth with the darker shades here, which is the intention, but a lot of the darker shades glisten with shimmer. I just find that I get more depth from a matte in the crease than I do with a shimmer.
These new quads create a very distinct glow — very pretty — but it’s just that, you know, I feel like I need a little more matte up in the mix.
Not a big deal, but you know. Lo que.

Tissé Vénitien
The bright green.
THE bright green.
I mean — oh, my goodness. this one has a light green and a really intense, deep bright green which contrasts with a silvery pink and a lighter platinum.
Tissé Vénitien is all about drama, and I bet it would be really pretty for a night look, or if during the day you want to go buck wild with a dramatic eye.
Tissé Vendôme
Tissé Vendôme’s pop of orangey coral might seem really scary, but I think it’s drop-dead gorgeous in the crease, where it adds warmth and brightness. I’d call this quad the friendliest for everyday wear because of the two brown shades. You have a golden brown and a darker brown that’sNo demasiado trémulo.
Tissé Mademoiselle
¡OH! Ese caqui en Mademoiselle está fuera de la cadena. Es la sombra más oscura. Cuando veo que uno me asusta un poco.
Los otros tres tonos en este quad están en el lado más ligero de la piscina cromática, lo que me hace pensar que este quad se vería realmente épico en lasses más ligeras.
Tissé Rivoli
¡Voy a tener que romper mi palo de Mac Costa Riche para esto! Rivoli tiene muchos tonos de color marrón rojizo y oro rosa que creo que lo hará un aspecto diurno muy bonito para usar en el otoño.
Tissé Poésie (Edición Limitada)
¿Grupo? Pwasie?
Poésie, la única edición limitada quad entre los nueve, es la que llevo puesto en estas fotos.
Tiene esa cosa puramente bronce en la que he estado últimamente. Hay un beige dorado más ligero, un peachy beige y dos tonos más oscuros, un trémulo bronceado a Taupe y un trémulo purpúreo de Taupe.
Una excelente opción de día cuando no desea usar sus marrones básicos y super simples.
Creo que entre los nueve quads, es el que se verá increíble en la gama más amplia de los colores oculares. Su púrpura y el bronce deben complementar el marrón y (especialmente) a los ojos de avellana bellamente, y también hay un poco de matices rojizos, dentro del púrpura, lo que debería lucir fantástico con los ojos azules.

Porque son Chanel, estos nuevos quads, desafortunadamente, vienen con los precios de Chanel. Son $ 61 cada uno, en comparación con $ 59 para los quads clásicos (que no están en conjunto desapareciendo, por cierto, pero están aumentando en precio a $ 61), pero lo pienso de esta manera: no puedo permitirme el Tweed Chanel real, Pero gracias a estos, todavía puedo usar Chanel Tweed.
No lo sé … eso puede estar estirándolo en términos de maquinaria de maquinaria, también conocido como justificación de maquillaje.
Oh bien.
