I will not use the word sheer, because they aren’t, but the colours are light and shimmery. For the most part, the colours have a medium opacity, and they are light. In terms of pigment, I hesitate to agree that the pigment is any better in these new Dior High Fidelity eyeshadow palettes. You just need a little patience to get it just so. However, if you use a brush (and I recommend that you use a brush with these palettes), the colours are picked up easily and they blend easily too. The matte shades in particular, were hard and if swatched with fingers, appeared patchy on the skin. I did however find that the texture felt hard to the touch. In the 4 palettes that Dior kindly sent me, I found none to have this gritty texture. Some of the older palettes had the odd gritty textured shadow. I will allow, that most of the textures are now smoother. Even the palettes looked familiar to me (but I’ve been looking at various permutations of Dior quints for over 10 years – things will eventually start to look familiar LOL! □ ) Before I read about the alleged improvements, I had already started playing around with the shadows, and to my mind, there was little to no difference in quality. They may have improved on the quality of the shadows, but they did nothing with the applicators, which are a waste of space.īut are these new Dior High Fidelity eyeshadow palettes a significant improvement over what they used to be? They did move the applicators to one side, but I’d have preferred for them to do away with the applicators altogether, and make the compact even more compact in size. They kept the signature cannage print and CD logo, as well as the now familiar layout of the eyeshadow quints. Enter the Dior 5 Couleur High Fidelity Colours & Effects Eyeshadow Palette. So, for them to promise for it to be better was, in my books, a bold claim.īut reformulate they did. You see, the thing is, I never really had a problem with the Dior quints, and I personally thought that the ones released in the most recent 2-3 years were really good. I’m going to note however, that back in 2014, they went through one round of reformulation, with the same boasts, and my thoughts then and now remain the same. But it’s 2017, and with Peter Philips at Dior’s helm, they’ve taken a step to reformulate the famous 5 Couleur eyeshadow palettes with what they say offers better pigmentation and better staying power.
