CHANEL LES 4 OMBRES: Tweed through the Ages: 1920-2014
By now, our readers know that NEW, CHANEL and EYESHADOWS are three words that excite me. Just when I thought that there would be no quad compacts for Fall, dang if CHANEL didn’t have a surprise up their nearly100 year old tweed sleeves.

Tweed is as synonymous with CHANEL as interlocking Cs and the number 5. For Fall, LES 4 OMBRES comes in eight original harmonies (202 Tisse Camelia, 204 Tisse Vendome, 208 Tisse Gabrielle, 214 Tisse Mademoiselle, 224 Tisse Riviera, 226 Tisse Rivoli , 228 Tisse Cambon, 232 Tisse Venetien and a Limited Edition #234 Poesie (making it nine), inspired by one of the iconic fabrics of Coco Chanel. Since, I don’t own a tweed CHANEL jacket, so these shadow palettes will do nicely.
TISSÉ MADEMOISELLE: Luminous beige and intense beige, satiny yellow and khaki brown
TISSÉ CAMBON: iridescent mauve and a velvet blackcurrant to a bluish pale pink and an intense pink.
TISSÉ VÉNITIEN: delicate silver pink, a bluish green, an intense green and a platinum khaki
TISSÉ RIVIERA: Metallic blue, light pink, matte black and dove grey with pink shimmers

TISSÉ GABRIELLE: delicate grey and velvet black grey, an iridescent white gold and a greyish mauve SMOKEY EYE ALERT!!!
