The 5 Couleurs Dior Fall 2014 Collection is all about the House of Dior reinventing the 5 Couleurs Dior Palette. The 5 Couleurs Palettes are wardrobes for the eye with key pieces and accessory shades. The centre shade of the palette is the essential shade that sets the tone for the look. The palettes contain both complementary and contrasting shades for a variety of looks. The top trio of shades are ideal for a softer daytime look while the lower trio of shades are deeper and more sultry. I love to just work from all over the palette and use all 5 shades if I can. I can’t help but want to use them all!
The 5 looks in the collection each focus on one of the couturier’s five favourite colours: Red, grey, pink, black, and blue. Lets take a look at the Dior Fall 2014 Trafalgar Red Look.
Each look includes a 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette, a Rouge Dior Lipstick, and a Dior Vernis Nail Polish.

- 5 Couleurs 876 Trafalgar
- Rouge Dior 869 Rouge Massaï
- Dior Vernis 853 Massaï
The 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette in 876 Trafalgar is probably the most eye catching, and possibly the most intimidating, palette in the five palette Fall collection. The centre essential shade is red. Viewing the red in this palette many will be intrigued and many will be scared. You may be wondering, “can I possibly wear red eyeshadow?”, Why yes you can!
The shades in the Trafalgar Palette palette include a sparkling sheer pale pink, a shimmering platinum ivory, sophisticated chocolate brown (it looks somewhat plum in the pan but applies more brown on the eye), a sparkling gold, and the centre shade a stunning red. The Massäi red Rouge Dior and Dior Vernis expand on the red theme. The pink has sheer-average pigmentation. I do believe the sheerer pigmentation of the top left shades in the Dior palettes is intentional. It is the desired effect from these shades. The remaining four shades have excellent pigmentation. All shades blend fabulously and the shadows always wear a full day on me without any fading or creasing. The Rouge Dior Lipstick in Rouge Massäi is one hot red lipstick. This cool red is so vibrant. It has a fabulous sheen and like all Rouge Dior lipsticks it is long wearing, hydrating, and comfortable to wear. One of my favourite lipstick formulas. The Dior Vernis in Massäi is gorgeous cool red and like the Rouge Diors the Dior Vernis are one of my favourite nail polish formulas. They offer perfect opaque coverage in a maximum of two coats and the tapered brush makes application a breeze.
Swatches are Palette top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right, centre. Rouge Dior. Dior Vernis.
I created two quick eye looks with the palette. One features the red shade in my crease while the second look features the red shade on my lid. I am loving this palette!
