Happy Holidays my loves!
Dior always has something special for the holidays and I couldn't resist this beautiful eyeshadow palette from this year's launch. Though it seems like 'another neutral eyeshadows palette' but this one is different! Dior's The Atelier of Dreams Eyeshadow Palette in 469 Atelier Doré is limited edition and only available during the holiday season. It features a beautiful combination of colors that I always wanted to get for myself but couldn't find all the right shades in one palette. This 5 color eye shadow palette showcases a dull but sparkly gold in the centre, surrounded by a pinky taupe, a medium neutral gold beige, a beautiful creamy dark brown and a sparkly grey taupe. This palette has mix of satin and shimmers which is much more desirable (and practical) than just shimmers from last year's launch (reviewed here), though I love that one to bits too!
SWATCHES
I did the swatches in indoor lighting as well in sunlight to demonstrate the texture of these eyeshadows in a bit more detail. The swatches below are from the top left corner of the palette in clockwise direction and the last swatch is the dull gold shade in the center with the CD embossing. I have given names to each of these shades since this palette doesn't identify them as separates but for ease of reviewing, I described them with the colors I believe they are on my medium skin tone.
1. Pinky Taupe
My favorite shade and something I always look forward to in a neutral palette! Its a beautiful satin finish pinky taupe that looks expensive and adds a bit of sophistication on my lids. I love pairing this is a brown eyeliner and a little bit of that center gold shade in the corners of my eye. Love this color and pigmentation.
2. Golden Beige
This is literally like the my skin but better shade for my eyelids! Its a satin finish medium neutral gold beige color that adds just enough sheen to my lids to make me look awake. I would not have preferred this to be in an expensive palette like this one, but it does make a good transitioning shade. Its one of those colors which I wish were a bit more - maybe more pigmented, or more sparkles or more shine - or something that would get me excited. Ironically I reach of this shade the most when I am running late in the morning and want ot put up a face before the day starts! So may be this is something I like; I am still unsure though...
3. Dark Brown
This is the shade I have stated to use in place of my eyeliner and it gives the right amount of definition to my eyes without any harsh lines. I like a smudged eyeliner look with a bolder like because it helps balance out my eyes and lips. This beautiful creamy dark brown is a stunning shade that I never had before in any of my palettes and since its highly pigmented, it makes a great 'eyeliner' for my eyes. I apply a little using my pencil brush on my lower lashes to get that romantic soft look. Absolutely love it.
4. Grey Taupe
This is the shade I searched for so long and then gave up. I was always looking for a sparkly grey taupe that worked for my skin tone and did't look dirty on my skin and this is just perfect. Its satiny sparkly sheen is a gorgeous shade for work and look very sophisticated.
5. 14K Sparkly Gold
The shine and yellowness of this gold shade is similar to 14K gold and I felt this shade of gold is much more wearable on a regular basis than the full on 24K gold color. I really love this sparkly gold on the center on my lids the most. For me, personally, this is not a shade I would put on my brow bone because I like sparkly whites more on my browbone. It's the right amount of pop on my lids and can easily transform my eye look from daytime to nightime. Absolutely love this.
There isn't much fall out with these eyeshadows and like my other Dior eyeshadows they are all creamy and pigmented and work well without a primer too. The swatches below are without a primer so you can see how pigmented they are.
From the swatches above, you can se that the shades are warm neutrals and perfect for everyday wear. That is what attracted me to this palette because it's a luxury eyeshadow palette that can be used daily and I totally see myself travelling with this (hopefully next year will be good *fingers crossed*). Overall, I love DIOR The Atelier of Dreams Eye Shadow Palette in 469 Atelier Doré and I would recommend adding this to your repertoire if you are looking for 'another neutral palette'! This high quality eyeshadow palette has almost no fallout and works well without a primer AND all shades are wearable that can be worn on most days of the week! Its the kind of luxury I enjoy because I can use it daily 💝
