Another of the Illusion D’Ombre eye collection is Fantasme, a shimmering, pearly white that almost looks like glistening snow in the pot!
If you read my previous post on the shade ÉPATANT, you’ll already know about the consistency of these products, so I won’t go too much into this again (and this will be the same for any subsequent reviews I do on the rest of the colours in this collection, that I now have in my possession) but it’s such a gorgeous gel-like formula, it’s so soft to apply, and literally bounces back to place after any pressure has applied.
This shade is less pigmented than the others in the collection, and whilst it is still fairly buildable, I don’t think you’re going to get a full, opaque coverage all that easily. However, it is still absolutely beautiful as what looks like pure white so start with, actually shows flecks of pink and turquoise in some lights, as shown in the photographs below – stunning, no?
I’d say this shade was best suited to adding a bit of glitz over another, less glitzy shadow (I can see it working perfectly over a dark matte colour like black, or purple), or maybe for highlighting the inner corner of the eye! If you’re looking for full, dense (yet sparkly) colour, I’d choose one of the other 5 beautiful shades available but if a bit of glitz is what you’re after, and you’re not too bothered about it showing up as a true white then this would be perfect for you!Available from August 19th at your usual Chanel stockists!
P.S: I decided to blend the product out on my hand to see how it would look, and quite liked it -if you're partial to a bit of glitter on your skin then this could be good for you too.
