Christian Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Compact 310 Color Bouquet

This is my current favorite thing. Is it not beautiful?
Shade descriptions: These are difficult to describe. They're simple enough to wear, but complex. Except for the charcoal shade, all of them have a subtle icy shine to them, like a cool flourescent light. (1) A beige so pale it's ivory, with a cool greyish tinge. On the skin, it's got a subtle satiny texture. (2) Icy mint pearl, quite soft in its shimmer. (3) In the middle, a rich teal, not too bright, with icy shimmer. (4) A pale, pale rose mauve, with a little bit of grey. Icy edge, too. It's cool enough to resemble a pinkish lilac, so you might call it a cool pink-lilac pearl. (5) My favorite! It's a rich, rich charcoal shimmer (no skimping on pigment), which, depending on the light, has teal undertones, violet undertones, or is neutral. Depends on what you pair it with.
I've been wearing (4) and (5) together. The shades are too cool to pair with brown liner, so I wear use black, instead (inner rim, close to the lashline). Wonderful. It's subtle, but different, not your usual browns or greys.
As a side note, it must be noted that Dior shadows on this vintage, with the square configuration, in the blue/gold striped compacts, are creamier in texture than the ones being sold now. In wear, they are comparable.

Looks fabulous! Dior shadows are a good investment.
