Chanel Quiet Revolution (312) Eyeshadow Quad Review & Swatches

Quiet Revolution (312)

Chanel Quiet Revolution (312) Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow ($61.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a new, permanent smoky color combination featuring a cool mauve, deep blue-teal, bright blue, and cooler taupe/neutral gray. I found that using the shades together resulted in a rather muddy look, and I had some trouble applying the deeper taupe shade over other shades as it caused the others to lift and resulted in a patchy appearance.

Quiet Revolution #1

Quiet Revolution #1 is a light-medium mauve with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had good color coverage that was buildable to opaque pigmentation with less than half of a layer. The consistency was velvety and smooth to the touch without being powdery. The eyeshadow remained blendable and adhered well to bare skin for seven and a half hours of wear.

Quiet Revolution #2

Quiet Revolution #2 is a deep, blue-leaning teal with cool undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow had good pigmentation, but I noticed that it tended to darken and look more muted (less blue/teal) after a few minutes on my lid. The texture was dense without being stiff or hard to work with, but it could have been somewhat more blendable than it was. This shade stayed on well for eight hours but did not stain my lid.

Quiet Revolution #3

Quiet Revolution #3 is a bright, medium blue with cool undertones and a matte finish. I’d actually say it was more like a natural matte finish, as it did not appear totally flat and let my skin’s natural finish come through a bit. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, velvety texture that wasn’t powdery at all but wasn’t so dense that it was difficult to blend. The disappointing part about this shade was that it seemed to darken and lose some of its vibrancy a few minutes after it was applied, even over primer. It wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably after that.

Quiet Revolution #4

Quiet Revolution #4 is a deep taupe with neutral-to-cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage with a denser, slightly stiff consistency, though it wasn’t as difficult to blend out as I expected based on the texture alone. The problem I had with it was that it caused other shades to lift a bit and create patchiness, so it needed to be applied first rather than last. The color started to show signs of fading after seven and a half hours of wear.
