Mediterraneen (747)
Chanel Mediterraneen (747) Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow ($62.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a new, warm-toned neutral color story that featured four variations on gold. All four shades had a really lovely texture on the lids, as they seemed to melt and meld, giving them a seamless, flattering finish. The pigmentation ranged from semi-opaque to opaque, but they were buildable, and they could be used with a dampened brush for higher coverage if preferred.

Mediterraneen #1
Mediterraneen #1 is a medium, dirty gold with subtle, warm undertones and a pearl finish. The eyeshadow had rich color coverage that adhered well to bare skin and diffused almost effortlessly along the edges. The texture felt firmer, slightly dense to the touch, but the powder itself was very finely-milled and blendable. This shade showed signs of fading after eight and a half hours of wear.

Mediterraneen #2
Mediterraneen #2 is a light-medium gold with warmer undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The texture was moderately dense, firmer but not stiff to work with, so it picked up readily with a dry brush. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage that applied evenly and seemed to “melt” on my skin for a very seamless look. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Mediterraneen #3
Mediterraneen #3 is a medium, peachy gold with strong, warm undertones and a pearl sheen. It had opaque color payoff paired with a smooth, moderately-firm texture that wasn’t too thick or too stiff, so it picked up well with a dry brush but did require a moderate hand to do so. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Mediterraneen #4
Mediterraneen #4 is a deep, olive gold with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The texture was slightly powdery, though very finely-milled and smooth to the touch.
