A recent trip to my mom’s beauty drawer turned up Dior’s 3 Couleurs Ready-To-Wear Smoky Eyeshadow Palette in Smoky Pink 051. What’s a beauty junkie daughter to do? Try out the palette, of course.

Obviously it’s been a bit used before I got to it, but still enough for me to work with. What should be noted is that the palette isn’t an ordinary palette — the top of the compact slides up and the mirror pops right out, revealing the palette. Here are swatches of the colors included in the Smoky Pink palette:

Swatches L-R: Dove Gray, Sparkling Silver, Pale Pink

The colors are actually true to their name and very pigmented. Here’s what they look like on in natural light:

What I love about this palette is that it’s very day-to-night friendly. Although it’s classified as a smoky palette, it’s tame enough for the daytime. The only tweak you would add for night is liquid liner or maybe black kohl liner, smudged for an even smokier look.

As for performance, I found that it lasted long throughout the day — with the use of a primer. It currently retails for $48 USD. While it sounds pretty steep, I think it’s a great investment just for that day-to-night versaility. You also get an ample amount of each color. One application didn’t really seem to put much more of a dent into the palette. Thumbs up from me!

Score: 5/5
