Toile de Jouy (429)
Dior Toile de Jouy (429) 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette ($62.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a new(er) warmer neutral color story that included a mix of finishes that ranged from matte to sparkle. This palette suffered from a general powderiness/dryness across the board compared to most of the brand’s eyeshadows. Most shades had semi-opaque or better coverage, and they were blendable, but they absolutely required a primer underneath and likely would sing for someone who tends to prefer a softer/sheerer effect.

Toile de Jouy #1
Toile de Jouy #1 is a light peach with warmer, more golden undertones and pink-to-orange shifting pearl. It had mostly opaque color coverage, which was buildable to full coverage. The texture was soft, smooth, and blendable without being too firmly nor too softly-pressed into the pan. It wore well for seven and a half hours before fading.

Formula Overview
–
The formula is supposed to have a “creamy and comfortable texture” that is long-wearing and has “intense color” (or “high-pigment”). There are five finishes that can be found within various palettes: matte, satin, shimmer, metallic, highlighter, and glitter, though there aren’t specific descriptions by finish, unfortunately.
There were a few shades that seemed more sparkly and were sheerer, more like layering shades, while the other finishes tended to be pigmented. In general, the texture was moderately dense with the matte shades being slightly thinner and a smidgen powdery in the pan compared to the satin, shimmer, and metallic shades.
Aside from those more sparkly shades, the formula was blendable, pigmented, easy to work with, and lasted an average of eight hours on me (without a primer).

Toile de Jouy #2
Toile de Jouy #2 is a very light, peachy beige with warm undertones and a sparkling finish. The texture was slightly more powdery in its base, but it seemed to have decent adherence despite that, which helped the larger flecks of sparkle stay on the lid rather than all fall away. There was still a fair amount of fallout, though, so I’d recommend using it with a dampened brush or a fingertip to press it into the skin better. It had semi-opaque coverage that lasted decently for seven hours on me.
