The Dior Golden Shock Collection for Holiday 2014 includes two Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palettes.
My favourite of the two palettes in the collection is the Dior 5 Couleurs 756 Golden Shock ($61 CAD) Intense plum and taffeta pink weave a veil of couture colour across the skin, lit up with sequins and golden radiance. The more pigmented of the two palettes, the Golden Shock palette offers a stunning combination of plum and gold. I happen to adore this colour combination. The plum is very pigmented. The mauve pink has a satin finish making it perfect for the crease. The bottom right shade is absolutely gorgeous which I’m disappointed to say didn’t come off adequately in photographs. It is a golden tan with pink iridescence with excellent pigmentation. The pink shift disappears in my pics. So beautiful. The sheer pale pink has a dusting of small golden shimmer that is subtle enough to still make it very wearable on the brow bone. (Often I find the lighter shades in palettes too frosty for the brow bone. Not the case with these palettes.) The centre shade is a gold glitter shade that can be incorporated into the look for added glitz and glam for the holidays.
A great take on a neutral eye is the Dior 5 Couleurs 046 Golden Reflections ($61 CAD) Steely grey, icy silver and muted bronze dance with platinum and white gold effect. This palette contains shades with a bit more subtle pigmentation. This makes the intense steely grey shade very wearable. The muted bronze is very pigmented and offers such a great contrast to the cool grey. The platinum taupe shade has decent pigmentation and I think it will be stunning on darker skin tones than mine. The white gold offers only a hint of sparkle making it a very wearable shade for the brow bone and inner corner to brighten. The centre shade is a champagne glitter that can be patted on the lids for a little extra glamour.
While the palettes still contain the glitter shades the older style palettes were known for they are packaged in the new slimmer packaging.
Overall I’m very pleased with the palettes in the Dior Holiday 2014 Golden Shock Collection. They are very wearable for year round use but can be amped up for holiday events.
These beautiful palettes are available this month at Dior counters but the palettes will not be available at Sephora.
