Chanel Legendaire, Pirate, Rouge Brulant Rouge Allure Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Legendaire (157)

Chanel Legendaire (157) Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour ($38.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep, raspberry red with cool undertones and a luminous finish. It had mostly opaque, buildable color coverage that adhered evenly across my lips and was forgiving of lip texture (like flakes/dryness).

The lipstick had a lightweight, lightly emollient texture that was thin but not clingy, which ensured it didn’t slide around during wear but was comfortable to apply and to wear. It stayed on well for five hours and felt hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$38.00/0.12 oz. – $316.67 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a “satin finish” with “ultra-thin pigments” that yield “full coverage” while also having a moisturizing base. Most shades in the range have a satin to luminous finish–not glossy but they have a luminosity to them that gives the appearance of lighter-weight color and smoother, fuller lips that a true satin finish doesn’t have (in my experience).

The texture has a more velvety feel–smooth with great glide but not a lot of wetness, so they go on comfortably but feel very lightweight and thin but don’t emphasize lip lines/lip texture. The coverage tends to be more semi-opaque to opaque, so they aren’t always living up to the “full coverage” claim.

Most shades wear four hours or longer with some of the deeper and richer hues lasting six hours or more, and the formula has been hydrating for me. They have a subtle, floral scent but no discernible taste.

Pirate (99)

Chanel Pirate (99) Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour ($38.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep, slightly muted, red with strong, cool pink undertones and a luminous finish. The texture was lightweight, thin but not clingy, and lightly emollient with good glide but never felt too slippery. It had opaque pigmentation that lasted well for five and a half hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

Rouge Brulant (191)

Chanel Rouge Brulant (191) Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour ($38.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark coral with moderate, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had semi-opaque, buildable color payoff that adhered evenly to my lips and was comfortable to wear.

The texture felt lightweight, thinner but not in a clingy way, and had light slip that helped it glide on well but kept it from feeling slippery while worn. It could have been more smoothing, as I tend to find this formula is. It wore well for four and a half hours and felt hydrating over time.
