, , 0

Hi Chanel girl! Today, we’re focusing on the most glamorous tone of the Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER palette—Shade 1, the rich metallic gold. As the core main tone, this metallic gold is versatile yet distinctive, pairing perfectly with other shades in the palette to create 5 completely different eye looks. Strictly following the principles of taking Shade 1 as the main color, no repeated shade combinations, and fully differentiated techniques, scenarios and styles, all looks are completed 100% with the palette’s shades, suitable for all scenarios and skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner or a makeup enthusiast, whether you need a daily look or a grand occasion look, there’s a perfect gold-toned look for you!
 
Unlike single-tone gold looks that are easy to be monotonous, these 5 looks use Shade 1 (rich metallic gold) as the core, matching different complementary shades to create diverse styles—from low-key daily to romantic date, from cool smoky to creative play makeup, and even grand red carpet looks. Each look has its own unique characteristics, no homogenization, and all are easy to operate. Let’s unlock the infinite glamour of Chanel 849’s metallic gold together!

1. Gold-Brown Swelling-Reducing Daily Commute Look (Suitable for: Office Commute, Daily Outings, Students, Beginner-Friendly)

Shade Combination (No Repeats)

Shade 1 (Rich Metallic Gold, Main Color) + Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Base) + Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown, Contour)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 1, 4, 7)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (optional, to extend wear time and prevent creasing, enhance gold shimmer)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Take the flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 4, tap lightly on the back of your hand to shake off excess powder. Apply an extremely thin layer evenly on the entire eyelid, from the lash line to the brow bone, using gentle back-and-forth strokes. This step softens the skin texture, reduces eye puffiness, and creates a smooth base for the metallic gold, making the subsequent color more adhesive.
2. Step 2: Contour with Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a small amount of Shade 7, and shake off excess powder. Gently blend the shade along the eye socket and the back 1/3 of the lower lash line, using circular motions to soften the edges. This step defines the eye shape naturally, adds subtle depth, and avoids the flatness of a single gold tone, which is very suitable for office commuting.
3. Step 3: Main Color Application with Shade 1 (Rich Metallic Gold) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up an appropriate amount of Shade 1, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the front 2/3 of the upper eyelid. Use light patting motions to enhance the metallic luster, and blend the edges slightly with Shade 7 to ensure a natural transition. Then, take the small detail brush, dip a tiny amount of Shade 1, and lightly sweep the front half of the lower lash line to brighten the eyes.
4. Step 4: Final Touch No eyeliner or additional deepening is needed. Check the entire eyelid to ensure all edges are blended smoothly, and the metallic gold is bright but not exaggerated. The final look is a low-saturation gold-brown tone, with the metallic gold as the highlight, which reduces swelling and lifts the spirit, and is completely non-picky on skin tone—perfect for daily use.

Beginner Tips

The key to this look is “thin and natural”. Shade 4 must be applied as thin as possible to avoid a heavy base, and Shade 7 should be blended lightly to avoid over-contouring. When applying Shade 1, use patting motions instead of sweeping to prevent the gold powder from falling out and to maintain the metallic luster. For warm-toned skin, this look will be more harmonious; for cool-toned skin, applying a slightly thinner layer of Shade 7 can balance the warm tone.

2. Gold-Pink Romantic Date Cut-Crease Look (Suitable for: Valentine’s Day Dates, Girlfriend Gatherings, Photoshoots, Holiday Occasions)

Shade Combination (No Repeats)

Shade 1 (Rich Metallic Gold, Main Color) + Shade 2 (Pink-Purple Blue Shimmer Duochrome, Cut-Crease Filler) + Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Transition)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 1, 2, 4)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and enhance shimmer)
  • Concealer (for creating the cut-crease line)
  • Small concealer brush (for precise cut-crease application)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Transition Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid, patting gently until absorbed. Take the fluffy blending brush, dip a small amount of Shade 4, and blend it lightly along the edges of the eyelid and eye socket to create a soft transition layer, which will make the cut-crease line more natural and avoid harsh contrasts.
2. Step 2: Draw Cut-Crease Line with Concealer Take the small concealer brush, dip a small amount of concealer, and draw a precise line along the eye socket (from the inner corner to the outer corner) to define the cut-crease. Use gentle strokes to create a smooth, even line, then blend the edges of the concealer slightly with the fluffy brush to make the transition between the concealer and Shade 4 more seamless.
3. Step 3: Cut-Crease Filler with Shade 2 & Shade 1 Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 2 (pink-purple blue shimmer duochrome), tap off excess powder, and fill the front half of the cut-crease area with light patting motions. Then, clean the brush, pick up Shade 1 (rich metallic gold), and fill the back half of the cut-crease area, creating a natural gradient between pink-purple and metallic gold.
4. Step 4: Final Touch No eye tail deepening or black eyeliner is needed. Take the small detail brush, dip a tiny amount of Shade 1, and lightly sweep the lower lash line to brighten. Check the cut-crease line to ensure it is smooth and even, and the gradient between Shade 2 and Shade 1 is natural. The final look is sweet and cool, with a strong sense of atmosphere, perfect for romantic occasions.

Beginner Tips

When drawing the cut-crease line, keep your eyes slightly open to ensure the line is in the right position, making the cut-crease more suitable for your eye shape. Shade 2 has a pink-purple duochrome, which can add a romantic feeling, and blending it slightly with Shade 1 can avoid a abrupt color transition. The key is to let the metallic gold and pink-purple complement each other, highlighting the romantic atmosphere without being exaggerated.

3. Black-Gold Cool Girl Light Smoky Look (Suitable for: Evening Outings, Light European and American Daily Wear, Livehouse, Small Parties)

Shade Combination (No Repeats)

Shade 1 (Rich Metallic Gold, Main Color) + Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown, Base) + Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black, Smoky Contour)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 1, 7, 9)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and prevent smudging)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Base with Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown) Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid and lower lash line, patting gently until absorbed. Take the flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 7, tap off excess powder, and apply it extensively on the entire upper eyelid. Blend gently with back-and-forth strokes to create a warm, smooth base that softens the smoky effect of black.
2. Step 2: Smoky Contour with Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a small amount of Shade 9, and shake off excess powder (Shade 9 is highly pigmented, so use a light hand). Gently blend the shade on the outer corner of the eye (forming a triangle shape) and the back 1/2 of the lower lash line, building up the color gradually to create a soft smoky effect. Blend the edges seamlessly with Shade 7 to avoid harsh lines.
3. Step 3: Main Color Highlight with Shade 1 (Rich Metallic Gold) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 1, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the front 2/3 of the upper eyelid. Pat lightly to enhance the metallic luster, and blend the edges slightly with the smoky black area to balance the heaviness of black. Then, take the small detail brush, dip a tiny amount of Shade 1, and dab it on the center of the eyelid to strengthen the highlight.
4. Step 4: Inner Eyeliner with Shade 9 Use the small detail brush, dip a tiny amount of Shade 9, tap off excess powder, and draw a very thin inner eyeliner along the upper lash line—this defines the lashes without being harsh, enhancing the smoky vibe. No outer eyeliner is needed to keep the look cool but not exaggerated.
5. Step 5: Final Touch Check the smoky effect and eyeliner to ensure they are blended smoothly. The intensity of the smoky can be adjusted according to your preference—add more Shade 9 for a deeper effect, or blend more for a softer look. The final look is cool and stylish, with the metallic gold neutralizing the heaviness of black, perfect for evening occasions.

Beginner Tips

The key to this look is “controllable intensity”. Shade 9 is highly pigmented, so it’s important to build up the color gradually and shake off excess powder before application to avoid over-smoking. When blending, focus on the outer corner and lower lash line, and keep the inner corner clean to make the eyes look more open. The metallic gold should be the focus, so don’t let the black shade overwhelm it.

4. Gold-Blue Contrast Creative Play Makeup (Suitable for: Music Festivals, Themed Shoots, Cosplay, Nightclub Play Makeup)

Shade Combination (No Repeats)

Shade 1 (Rich Metallic Gold, Main Color) + Shade 5 (Ice Lake Blue, Contrast Color) + Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Base)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 1, 4, 5)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and enhance color saturation)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid, patting gently until absorbed. Take the flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 4, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire upper eyelid. Blend gently to create a smooth base that enhances the adhesion of the subsequent colors and balances the contrast between gold and blue.
2. Step 2: Contrast Color with Shade 5 (Ice Lake Blue) Switch to a clean flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 5, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the back 1/3 of the upper eyelid and the back 1/2 of the lower lash line. Use light patting motions to ensure the color is bright and even, then blend the edges slightly with the fluffy brush to avoid harsh lines between blue and the base shade.
3. Step 3: Main Color with Shade 1 (Rich Metallic Gold) Take the flat eyeshadow brush, pick up Shade 1, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the front 2/3 of the upper eyelid. Pat lightly to enhance the metallic luster, and blend the edges with Shade 5 to create a natural gold-blue gradient. The rich metallic gold and clear ice lake blue form a strong cold-warm contrast, full of creative sense.
4. Step 4: Final Touch No eyeliner or additional deepening is needed. Check the entire eyelid to ensure the gradient between gold and blue is smooth, and the colors are vibrant but not clashing. The final look is bold and creative, with a strong visual impact, perfect for various creative occasions.

Beginner Tips

When applying Shade 5 (ice lake blue), avoid applying it too thickly to prevent the color from being too abrupt. The key is to create a clear gradient between gold and blue—blend the edges slightly but keep the color distinction. For beginners, you can use a smaller amount of Shade 5 first, then gradually increase the intensity according to your preference. The eye primer is essential here, as it can enhance the color saturation and prevent the blue from fading.

5. Bold Gold-Brown Red Carpet Gala Look (Suitable for: Red Carpets, Galas, Weddings, Formal Occasions)

Shade Combination (No Repeats)

Shade 1 (Rich Metallic Gold, Main Color) + Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Base) + Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown, Contour) + Shade 8 (Translucent Light Gold, Highlight) + Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black, Deepening & Eyeliner)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (all shades, focus on Shades 1, 4, 7, 8, 9)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and enhance shimmer)
  • False eyelashes (optional, to enlarge the eyes and enhance the grand sense)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid, patting gently until absorbed. Take the flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 4, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire upper eyelid. Blend gently to create a smooth base that reduces puffiness and provides a perfect canvas for the subsequent colors.
2. Step 2: Contour with Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a small amount of Shade 7, and shake off excess powder. Gently blend the shade along the eye socket and the entire lower lash line, building up the color gradually to create a deep, natural contour that enhances the eye shape and lays the foundation for the bold look.
3. Step 3: Deepening with Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black) Take the small detail brush, dip a small amount of Shade 9, and deepen the outer corner of the eye (forming a triangle shape) to enhance the three-dimensional sense. Then, use the same brush to draw a full-wrap upward eyeliner along the upper and lower lash lines, making the eye shape more sharp and bold, suitable for formal occasions.
4. Step 4: Highlights with Shade 8 & Shade 1 Use the small detail brush to dip Shade 8 (translucent light gold), tap off excess powder, and dab it on the inner corner of the eye to brighten and open up the eyes. Then, take the flat eyeshadow brush, pick up Shade 1 (rich metallic gold), and apply it evenly on the middle section of the upper eyelid, creating a gradient with Shade 4 and Shade 7. Finally, dip a small amount of Shade 1 again and layer it on the center of the eyelid to strengthen the metallic luster.
5. Step 5: Final Touch Apply false eyelashes (optional) to enlarge the eyes and enhance the grand sense. Check the entire eye makeup to ensure all colors are blended smoothly, the eyeliner is neat, and the metallic gold is bright and eye-catching. The final look is bold and elegant, with all shades working together to create a grand gold-brown makeup, perfect for formal and grand occasions.

Beginner Tips

This is the most grand look in the series, so the key is “layered and hierarchical”. When applying each shade, build up the color gradually to avoid unevenness. Shade 9 should be used with a light hand when drawing the eyeliner to ensure it is neat and not smudged. The metallic gold (Shade 1) is the core, so it should be applied in the middle section to highlight the focus. For beginners, you can skip the full-wrap eyeliner first and draw a half-wrap eyeliner to reduce the difficulty.
And that’s all for our 5 differentiated eye looks using the Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER palette, with Shade 1 (rich metallic gold) as the main tone! Strictly following the principles of no repeated shade combinations and fully differentiated techniques, scenarios and styles, all looks are completed 100% with the palette’s shades, covering daily, romantic, cool, creative and grand occasions, suitable for all skill levels and skin tones.

1. Pink-Purple Glitter Bare-Face Look (Suitable for: Students, Daily Commuting, Beginner Entry)

Shade Combination

Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Base) + Shade 2 (Pink-Purple Blue Shimmer Duochrome, Lid Center Highlight)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 2, 4)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (optional, to extend wear time and prevent creasing)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer (Optional but Recommended) Take a small amount of eye primer and spread it evenly on the entire eyelid with your fingertips, from the lash line to the brow bone. Pat gently until fully absorbed. This step helps the eyeshadow adhere better, prevents creasing, and keeps the makeup looking fresh all day. If you don’t have eye primer, a small amount of concealer can be used as a substitute—just pat it lightly on the eyelid to create a smooth base.
2. Step 2: Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Pick up the flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 4 (light shimmer nude brown), and tap the brush lightly on the back of your hand to shake off excess powder. Starting from the lash line, apply the shade evenly on the entire eyelid with a thin, sheer layer, blending upward to the eye socket with gentle back-and-forth strokes. The goal is to create a soft, skin-like base that reduces puffiness and enhances the tenderness of the pink-purple shade.
3. Step 3: Highlight with Shade 2 (Pink-Purple Blue Shimmer Duochrome) Switch to the small detail brush, dip a tiny amount of Shade 2, and tap off excess powder to avoid over-shining. Gently dab the shade only on the center of the eyelid, using light patting motions. Do not blend excessively; the highlight should be subtle and concentrated, adding a faint pink-purple glow to the eyes without being exaggerated. No deepening or eyeliner is needed.
4. Step 4: Final Touch No contouring, no eyeliner, and no extra blending needed. Check the entire eyelid to ensure there are no obvious gaps or uneven areas. The final look is extremely natural, with a touch of pink-purple shimmer that looks like a natural glow—perfect for students, daily commutes, or beginners who want a low-key romantic look.

Beginner Tips

This look only uses two shades, so the key is “sheer and natural”. Shade 4 must be applied as thin as possible to avoid a heavy base, and Shade 2 should be used sparingly to keep the highlight subtle. If you have cool-toned skin, Shade 2 will complement your skin tone better; if you have warm-toned skin, apply a slightly thicker layer of Shade 4 to balance the pink-purple shade.

2. Pink-Brown Gentle Commuter Look (Suitable for: Office Commuting, Daily Outings, Gentle-Style Dates)

Shade Combination

Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Base) + Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown, Contour) + Shade 2 (Pink-Purple Blue Shimmer Duochrome, Front 1/3 of Lid) + Shade 8 (Translucent Light Gold, Inner Corner Highlight)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 2, 4, 7, 8)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (optional, to extend wear time and prevent creasing)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer (Optional but Recommended) Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid, patting gently until absorbed. This step ensures the eyeshadow stays in place all day without creasing, especially important for long workdays or daily outings. A small amount of concealer can be used as a substitute if you don’t have eye primer—just ensure it’s blended smoothly to avoid patchiness.
2. Step 2: Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 4, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire eyelid from the lash line to the eye socket. Blend gently with back-and-forth strokes to create a smooth, neutral base that reduces puffiness and provides a perfect canvas for the pink-brown combination.
3. Step 3: Contour with Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a small amount of Shade 7, and shake off excess powder. Gently blend the shade along the eye socket and the outer 1/3 of the lower lash line, using circular motions to soften the edges. This step defines the eye shape naturally, adding a subtle depth without being harsh—perfect for office commuting.
4. Step 4: Pink-Purple Accent & Inner Corner Highlight Use the small detail brush to pick up Shade 2 (pink-purple blue shimmer duochrome), tap off excess powder, and apply it thinly on the front 1/3 of the upper eyelid. Blend slightly with the base shade to make it more natural. Then, use the same brush to dip Shade 8 (translucent light gold), tap off excess powder, and dab it on the inner corner of the eye for brightening—this opens up the eyes and enhances the gentle vibe.
5. Step 5: Final Touch Check the eye makeup to ensure all edges are blended smoothly. No black eyeliner is needed—this keeps the look soft and natural, focusing on the low-saturation pink-brown charm. The final look is gentle and elegant, perfect for office commuting, daily outings, or gentle-style dates.

Beginner Tips

The key to this look is “low saturation and softness”. Shade 7 should be blended lightly to avoid over-contouring, and Shade 2 should be applied thinly to keep the pink-purple accent subtle. If you want a more romantic effect, you can add a tiny amount of Shade 8 to the center of the eyelid for extra glow.

3. Pink-Purple Soft Matte Smoky Look (Suitable for: Evening Outings, Ambient Photoshoots, Small Parties)

Shade Combination

Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown, Base) + Shade 2 (Pink-Purple Blue Shimmer Duochrome, Full Lid) + Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black, Outer Corner & Lower Lash Line) + Shade 3 (Silver White Duochrome, Lid Center Highlight)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 2, 3, 7, 9)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and prevent smudging)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid and lower lash line, patting gently until absorbed. This step is crucial for this look, as it ensures the pink-purple and black shades adhere well and don’t smudge or crease, especially for evening outings.
2. Step 2: Base with Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 7, tap off excess powder, and apply it extensively on the entire eyelid. Blend gently with back-and-forth strokes to create a smooth, warm base that softens the smoky effect and complements the pink-purple shade.
3. Step 3: Pink-Purple Full Lid Application Switch to a clean flat eyeshadow brush, pick up Shade 2 (pink-purple blue shimmer duochrome), tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire upper eyelid. Blend it with the base shade to create a soft, matte-like finish—this forms the base of the soft smoky look.
4. Step 4: Smoky Deepening with Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black) Use the fluffy blending brush to dip a small amount of Shade 9 (pure matte black), shake off excess powder, and gently blend it on the outer corner of the eye and the outer 1/2 of the lower lash line. Build up the color gradually to create a soft smoky effect, blending the edges seamlessly with the pink-purple shade to avoid harsh lines.
5. Step 5: Highlight & Inner Eyeliner Use the small detail brush to dip Shade 3 (silver white duochrome), tap off excess powder, and dab it on the center of the eyelid—this adds a bright glow that balances the smoky effect. Then, use the same brush to dip a tiny amount of Shade 9, tap off excess powder, and draw a thin inner eyeliner along the upper lash line—this defines the lashes without being harsh, enhancing the smoky vibe.
6. Step 6: Final Touch Check the smoky effect and eyeliner to ensure they are blended smoothly. The smoky intensity can be adjusted according to your preference—add more Shade 9 for a deeper smoky effect, or blend more for a softer look. The final look is a perfect combination of sweetness and coolness, ideal for evening outings, ambient photoshoots, or small parties.

Beginner Tips

Shade 9 is highly pigmented, so use a light hand and build up the color gradually to avoid over-smoking. When blending the black shade, focus only on the outer corner and lower lash line to keep the look soft and romantic. The pink-purple shade should be the main color, and the black shade should only be used to add depth—this ensures the look maintains a sweet and cool balance.

4. Pink-Gold-Silver Tri-Tone Pearl Gradient Creative Look (Suitable for: Music Festivals, Themed Weddings, Photoshoots, Holiday Creative Makeup)

Shade Combination

Shade 2 (Pink-Purple Blue Shimmer Duochrome, Front 1/3 of Lid) + Shade 3 (Silver White Duochrome, Middle 1/3 of Lid) + Shade 1 (Metallic Bright Gold, Outer 1/3 of Lid)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 1, 2, 3)

  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and enhance shimmer)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid, patting gently until absorbed. This step helps the pearl shades adhere better and enhances their shimmer, making the look more vibrant and long-lasting—perfect for creative occasions like music festivals or themed weddings.
2. Step 2: Apply Shade 2 on Front 1/3 of Lid Skip any base shades—this look is all about pure pearl gradient! Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 2 (pink-purple blue shimmer duochrome), tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the front 1/3 of the eyelid (closer to the inner corner). Use gentle patting motions to ensure the color is vibrant and even, with no obvious gaps.
3. Step 3: Apply Shade 3 on Middle 1/3 of Lid Without cleaning the brush, pick up Shade 3 (silver white duochrome) and apply it on the middle 1/3 of the eyelid. Blend the edges of Shade 2 and Shade 3 slightly with the fluffy brush to create a smooth transition—this enhances the gradient effect and makes the two shades look cohesive. The blue shimmer in Shade 2 and the silver shimmer in Shade 3 create a unified, ethereal effect.
4. Step 4: Apply Shade 1 on Outer 1/3 of Lid Switch to a clean flat eyeshadow brush, pick up Shade 1 (metallic bright gold), tap off excess powder, and apply it on the outer 1/3 of the eyelid. Blend the edges of Shade 3 and Shade 1 slightly to create a smooth gradient—this adds warmth and glamour to the look, balancing the cool tones of Shades 2 and 3. The blue shimmer in Shade 2 ties the entire gradient together, making it cohesive and creative.
5. Step 5: Final Touch No contouring, no eyeliner, and no deepening needed—this keeps the focus on the pure pearl gradient. Use the small detail brush to dip Shade 3, tap off excess powder, and dab it on the inner corner of the eye for extra brightening. The final look is ethereal and creative, with a perfect combination of pink, gold, and silver—ideal for music festivals, themed weddings, or holiday creative makeup.

Beginner Tips

Since there’s no base shade, apply the pearl shades with light patting motions instead of sweeping—this ensures the color adheres well and doesn’t fallout. Blend the edges of each shade gently to avoid harsh lines, but don’t over-blend—you want to keep the gradient distinct. If you want a more intense shimmer effect, you can layer the pearl shades slightly on the center of the lid, and the blue shimmer in Shade 2 will help unify the entire look.

1. Deep Sea Blue Glitter Light Daily Look (Suitable for: Personalized Commuting, Daily Outings, Beginner Dramatic Makeup Entry)

Shade Combination

Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Base) + Shade 6 (Midnight Navy Blue-Purple Shimmer Pearl, Outer Corner Accent) + Shade 8 (Translucent Light Gold, Lid Center Highlight)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 4, 6, 8)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (optional, to extend wear time and prevent creasing)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer (Optional but Recommended) Take a small amount of eye primer and spread it evenly on the entire eyelid with your fingertips, from the lash line to the brow bone. Pat gently until fully absorbed. This step helps the eyeshadow adhere better, prevents creasing, and keeps the makeup looking fresh all day. If you don’t have eye primer, a small amount of concealer can be used as a substitute—just pat it lightly on the eyelid to create a smooth base.
2. Step 2: Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Pick up the flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 4 (light shimmer nude brown), and tap the brush lightly on the back of your hand to shake off excess powder. Starting from the lash line, apply the shade evenly on the entire eyelid with a thin, sheer layer, blending upward to the eye socket with gentle back-and-forth strokes. The goal is to create a soft, neutral base that reduces puffiness and balances the bold deep sea blue shade.
3. Step 3: Accent Outer Corner with Shade 6 (Midnight Navy Blue-Purple Shimmer Pearl) Switch to the small detail brush, dip a tiny amount of Shade 6, and tap off excess powder to avoid over-pigmentation. Gently dab the shade only on the outer corner of the eye, using light patting motions to create a subtle deepening effect. Do not blend excessively; the blue should be concentrated on the outer corner to add a touch of personality without being exaggerated. No large-area blending is needed.
4. Step 4: Highlight with Shade 8 (Translucent Light Gold) Use the small detail brush to dip a tiny amount of Shade 8, tap off excess powder, and gently dab it on the center of the eyelid. This adds a subtle glow that balances the deep blue shade, making the eyes more three-dimensional and lively. The highlight should be faint and concentrated, not overwhelming the blue accent.
5. Step 5: Final Touch No eyeliner, no extra contouring, and no large-area blending needed. Check the entire eyelid to ensure there are no obvious gaps or uneven areas. The final look is subtle yet personalized, with a touch of deep sea blue charm that is daily-friendly—perfect for beginners who want to try dramatic makeup without being too bold.

Beginner Tips

Shade 6 is highly pigmented—use a light hand and start with a tiny amount to avoid overdoing it. The key to this look is “subtlety”: the blue should be an accent, not the main color. If you want a more understated effect, blend the outer corner blue slightly with the fluffy brush to soften the edge.

2. Blue-Gold Contrast Ambient Look (Suitable for: Dates, Gatherings, Holiday Occasions)

Shade Combination

Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Base) + Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown, Transition) + Shade 6 (Midnight Navy Blue-Purple Shimmer Pearl, Outer 2/3 of Lid) + Shade 8 (Translucent Light Gold, Front 1/3 of Lid)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 4, 6, 7, 8)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and enhance color vibrancy)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid, patting gently until absorbed. This step ensures the blue and gold shades adhere well, stay vibrant, and don’t crease—essential for a long-lasting ambient look.
2. Step 2: Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 4, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire eyelid from the lash line to the eye socket. Blend gently with back-and-forth strokes to create a smooth, neutral base that reduces puffiness and provides a perfect canvas for the contrast colors.
3. Step 3: Transition with Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a small amount of Shade 7, and shake off excess powder. Gently blend the shade along the eye socket to create a soft transition, adding depth to the eyes and preparing for the contrast colors. Ensure the transition is blended seamlessly with the base shade, with no obvious lines.
4. Step 4: Blue-Gold Contrast Application Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 6 (midnight navy blue-purple shimmer pearl), tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the outer 2/3 of the eyelid. Then, clean the brush, pick up Shade 8 (translucent light gold), and apply it on the front 1/3 of the eyelid. Use the fluffy blending brush to gently blend the edges of the two colors, creating a smooth transition between blue and gold—this enhances the contrast effect while keeping the look cohesive.
5. Step 5: Final Touch Check the eye makeup to ensure the blue and gold shades are blended smoothly and the transition is natural. No black eyeliner is needed—this keeps the look soft and ambient, focusing on the beautiful blue-gold contrast. The final look is glamorous and romantic, perfect for dates, gatherings, or holiday occasions.

Beginner Tips

When applying the contrast colors, keep the two shades separate but blended at the edges—avoid mixing them too much, which will make the color muddy. Use a light hand when applying Shade 6 to ensure the blue doesn’t overpower the gold. If you want a more vibrant contrast, layer Shade 8 slightly on the center of the lid.

3. Deep Sea Blue Matte-Like Cut-Crease Dramatic Look (Suitable for: Parties, Red Carpets, Dramatic Photoshoots)

Shade Combination

Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown, Base) + Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black, Contour & Cut-Crease Outline) + Shade 6 (Midnight Navy Blue-Purple Shimmer Pearl, Cut-Crease Filler) + Shade 3 (Silver White Duochrome, Inner Corner Highlight)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 3, 6, 7, 9)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and prevent creasing)
  • Concealer (for creating the cut-crease line)
  • Small concealer brush (for precise cut-crease application)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer & Base Prep Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid, patting gently until absorbed. Then, use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 7 (deep warm shimmer brown), tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire eyelid. Blend gently with back-and-forth strokes to create a smooth base that softens the black contour and adds depth to the eyes.
2. Step 2: Create Cut-Crease Outline with Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a small amount of Shade 9 (pure matte black), and shake off excess powder. Gently blend the shade along the eye socket and the outer corner triangle to create a sharp cut-crease outline. Build up the color gradually to ensure the outline is clear but not harsh—this defines the cut-crease shape and enhances the dramatic effect.
3. Step 3: Draw Cut-Crease Line with Concealer Take the small concealer brush, dip a small amount of concealer, and draw a precise line along the black outline (from the inner corner to the outer corner) to define the cut-crease. Use gentle strokes to create a smooth, even line, then blend the edges of the concealer slightly with the fluffy brush to avoid a harsh contrast. This line separates the base shade from the cut-crease filler, creating a sharp, defined cut-crease effect.
4. Step 4: Fill Cut-Crease & Highlight Inner Corner Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 6 (midnight navy blue-purple shimmer pearl), tap off excess powder, and fill the cut-crease area with light patting motions. Ensure the color is vibrant and even, blending slightly with the concealer edge for a seamless finish. Then, use the small detail brush to dip Shade 3 (silver white duochrome), tap off excess powder, and dab it on the inner corner of the eye for brightening—this opens up the eyes and adds a cool glow.
5. Step 5: Add Thin Winged Eyeliner with Shade 9 Use the small detail brush to dip a tiny amount of Shade 9, tap off excess powder, and draw a thin winged eyeliner along the upper lash line. Keep the liner thin and sharp, with a subtle wing that complements the cut-crease shape. This adds a finishing touch to the dramatic look without overwhelming the cut-crease.
6. Step 6: Final Touch Check the cut-crease line and eyeliner to ensure they are sharp and even. The final look is bold and glamorous, with a defined cut-crease and deep sea blue charm—perfect for parties, red carpets, or dramatic photoshoots.

Beginner Tips

When drawing the cut-crease line, keep your eyes slightly open to ensure the line is in the right position. If you make a mistake, use a small clean brush to blend the concealer and correct the line. Shade 9 is highly pigmented—use a light hand when blending to avoid over-contouring. The key to this look is “sharpness”: the cut-crease line should be clear, and the blue filler should be vibrant.

4. Blue-Black Full-Surround Smoky Look (Suitable for: Nightclubs, Livehouses, Dark-Style Parties)

Shade Combination

Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown, Base) + Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black, Smoky & Full Eyeliner) + Shade 6 (Midnight Navy Blue-Purple Shimmer Pearl, Gradient)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 6, 7, 9)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and prevent smudging)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid and lower lash line, patting gently until absorbed. This step is crucial for this look, as it ensures the black and blue shades adhere well and don’t smudge or crease throughout the night.
2. Step 2: Base with Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 7, tap off excess powder, and apply it extensively on the entire eyelid. Blend gently with back-and-forth strokes to create a smooth, warm base that softens the black smoky effect and adds depth to the eyes.
3. Step 3: Full-Surround Smoky with Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black) Switch to the flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 9 (pure matte black), and tap off excess powder. Gently deepen the eye socket, outer corner triangle, and the entire lower lash line with the black shade, building up the color gradually to create a full-surround smoky effect. Use the fluffy blending brush to blend the edges of the black shade, softening the line between Shade 7 and Shade 9.
4. Step 4: Blue Gradient with Shade 6 (Midnight Navy Blue-Purple Shimmer Pearl) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 6, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire upper eyelid, blending it with the black smoky shade to create a blue-black gradient. Then, apply Shade 6 on the front 1/2 of the lower lash line, blending it with the black shade to complete the gradient effect. This adds a touch of deep sea blue charm to the smoky look.
5. Step 5: Full Eyeliner with Shade 9 Use the small detail brush to dip Shade 9, tap off excess powder, and draw a full eyeliner along the upper and lower lash lines (full eyeliner), keeping the line smooth and even. This enhances the full-surround smoky effect and adds a dramatic touch.
6. Step 6: Final Touch Check the smoky effect and eyeliner to ensure they are blended smoothly. The smoky intensity can be adjusted according to your preference—add more Shade 9 for a deeper smoky effect, or blend more for a softer look. The final look is bold and mysterious, perfect for nightclubs, livehouses, or dark-style parties.

Beginner Tips

When applying Shade 9, build up the color gradually—black eyeshadow is highly pigmented, so it’s easier to add more than to remove excess. Use a light hand when blending to avoid smudging the black shade onto the cheeks. For the full eyeliner, keep the brush close to the lash line and use short, gentle strokes to ensure a smooth line. The blue gradient should be blended seamlessly with the black smoky shade to avoid harsh lines.

5. Blue-Purple-Silver Tri-Tone Pearl Gradient Creative Look (Suitable for: Music Festivals, Themed Shoots, Cosplay, Creative Makeup)

Shade Combination

Shade 2 (Pink-Purple Shimmer Duochrome, Front 1/3 of Lid) + Shade 3 (Silver White Duochrome, Middle 1/3 of Lid) + Shade 6 (Midnight Navy Blue-Purple Shimmer Pearl, Outer 1/3 of Lid)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 2, 3, 6)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and enhance shimmer)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid, patting gently until absorbed. This step helps the pearl shades adhere better and enhances their shimmer, making the look more vibrant and long-lasting—perfect for creative occasions.
2. Step 2: Apply Shade 2 on Front 1/3 of Lid Skip any base shades—this look is all about pure pearl gradient! Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 2 (pink-purple shimmer duochrome), tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the front 1/3 of the eyelid (closer to the inner corner). Use gentle patting motions to ensure the color is vibrant and even, with no obvious gaps.
3. Step 3: Apply Shade 3 on Middle 1/3 of Lid Without cleaning the brush, pick up Shade 3 (silver white duochrome) and apply it on the middle 1/3 of the eyelid. Blend the edges of Shade 2 and Shade 3 slightly with the fluffy brush to create a smooth transition—this enhances the gradient effect and makes the two shades look cohesive. The purple and silver shimmer will create a unified, ethereal effect.
4. Step 4: Apply Shade 6 on Outer 1/3 of Lid Switch to a clean flat eyeshadow brush, pick up Shade 6 (midnight navy blue-purple shimmer pearl), tap off excess powder, and apply it on the outer 1/3 of the eyelid. Blend the edges of Shade 3 and Shade 6 slightly to create a smooth gradient—this adds depth and mystery to the look, balancing the cool tones of Shades 2 and 3. The purple shimmer in Shade 2 and Shade 6 creates a unified gradient effect.
5. Step 5: Highlight Inner Corner with Shade 3 Use the small detail brush to pick up Shade 3, tap off excess powder, and dab it on the inner corner of the eye. This adds a brightening effect and enhances the ethereal, creative vibe of the look. No contouring or eyeliner is needed—this keeps the focus on the pure pearl gradient.

Beginner Tips

Since there’s no base shade, apply the pearl shades with light patting motions instead of sweeping—this ensures the color adheres well and doesn’t fallout. Blend the edges of each shade gently to avoid harsh lines, but don’t over-blend—you want to keep the gradient distinct. If you want a more intense shimmer effect, you can layer the pearl shades slightly on the center of the lid.

6. Ice Lake Blue Glitter Bare-Face Look (Suitable for: Personalized Commuting, Students, Beginner Creative Makeup Entry)

Shade Combination

Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Base) + Shade 5 (Ice Lake Blue Silver Shimmer Pearl, Lid Center Highlight)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 4, 5)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (optional, to extend wear time and prevent creasing)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer (Optional but Recommended) Take a small amount of eye primer and spread it evenly on the entire eyelid with your fingertips, from the lash line to the brow bone. Pat gently until fully absorbed. This step helps the eyeshadow adhere better, prevents creasing, and keeps the makeup looking fresh all day. If you don’t have eye primer, a small amount of concealer can be used as a substitute—just pat it lightly on the eyelid to create a smooth base.
2. Step 2: Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Pick up the flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 4 (light shimmer nude brown), and tap the brush lightly on the back of your hand to shake off excess powder. Starting from the lash line, apply the shade evenly on the entire eyelid with a thin, sheer layer, blending upward to the eye socket with gentle back-and-forth strokes. The goal is to create a soft, neutral base that reduces puffiness and balances the cool-toned ice lake blue shade.
3. Step 3: Highlight with Shade 5 (Ice Lake Blue Silver Shimmer Pearl) Switch to the small detail brush, dip a tiny amount of Shade 5, and tap off excess powder to avoid over-shining. Gently dab the shade only on the center of the eyelid, using light patting motions. Do not blend excessively; the highlight should be subtle and concentrated, adding a cool, ethereal glow to the eyes without being exaggerated. No deepening or eyeliner is needed.
4. Step 4: Final Touch No contouring, no eyeliner, and no extra blending needed. Check the entire eyelid to ensure there are no obvious gaps or uneven areas. The final look is natural yet personalized, with a touch of ice lake blue charm that is daily-friendly—perfect for beginners who want to try creative makeup without being too bold.

Beginner Tips

Shade 5 is a cool-toned blue with silver shimmer—use a light hand to avoid overpowering the neutral base. The key to this look is “subtlety”: the ice lake blue should be an accent, not the main color. If you have warm-toned skin, apply Shade 4 slightly thicker to balance the cool blue shade.

7. Ice Lake Blue-Brown Contrast Commuter Look (Suitable for: Personalized Workplaces, Daily Outings, Niche Daily Style)

Shade Combination

Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Base) + Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown, Contour) + Shade 5 (Ice Lake Blue Silver Shimmer Pearl, Front 1/3 of Lid & Lower Lash Line Front 1/2)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 4, 5, 7)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (optional, to extend wear time and prevent creasing)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer (Optional but Recommended) Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid, patting gently until absorbed. This step ensures the eyeshadow stays in place all day without creasing, especially important for daily commuting. A small amount of concealer can be used as a substitute if you don’t have eye primer—just ensure it’s blended smoothly to avoid patchiness.
2. Step 2: Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 4, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire eyelid from the lash line to the eye socket. Blend gently with back-and-forth strokes to create a smooth, neutral base that reduces puffiness and provides a perfect canvas for the contrast colors.
3. Step 3: Contour with Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a small amount of Shade 7, and shake off excess powder. Gently blend the shade along the eye socket and the outer corner triangle to create a natural contour, adding depth to the eyes. Ensure the contour is blended seamlessly with the base shade, with no obvious lines.
4. Step 4: Ice Lake Blue Accent Application Use the small detail brush to pick up Shade 5 (ice lake blue silver shimmer pearl), tap off excess powder, and apply it thinly on the front 1/3 of the upper eyelid. Then, apply a tiny amount of Shade 5 on the front 1/2 of the lower lash line, using light patting motions. No large-area application or heavy shimmer is needed—this keeps the look daily-friendly and professional.
5. Step 5: Final Touch Check the eye makeup to ensure the blue and brown shades are blended smoothly and the accent is subtle. No large shimmer or eyeliner is needed—this keeps the look low-saturation and niche, perfect for personalized workplaces or daily outings. The final look is unique and not easily duplicated, with a subtle冷暖 (cool-warm) contrast that stands out from ordinary daily makeup.

Beginner Tips

Shade 5 should be applied thinly to avoid a harsh cool-toned effect—blend it slightly with the base shade to make it more natural. The key to this look is “low saturation”: the contrast between ice lake blue and warm brown should be subtle, not striking. If you want a more understated effect, reduce the amount of Shade 5 used.

8. Ice Lake Blue Cut-Crease Creative Look (Suitable for: Photoshoots, Themed Gatherings, Niche Parties)

Shade Combination

Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Base) + Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black, Contour & Cut-Crease Outline) + Shade 5 (Ice Lake Blue Silver Shimmer Pearl, Cut-Crease Filler) + Shade 3 (Silver White Duochrome, Inner Corner Highlight)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 3, 4, 5, 9)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and prevent creasing)
  • Concealer (for creating the cut-crease line)
  • Small concealer brush (for precise cut-crease application)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer & Base Prep Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid, patting gently until absorbed. Then, use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 4 (light shimmer nude brown), tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire eyelid. Blend gently with back-and-forth strokes to create a smooth, neutral base that reduces puffiness and balances the cool-toned ice lake blue shade.
2. Step 2: Create Cut-Crease Outline with Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a small amount of Shade 9 (pure matte black), and shake off excess powder. Gently blend the shade only on the outer corner triangle to打造 (create) a sharp cut-crease outline. Focus the black on the outer corner to define the cut-crease shape, avoiding large-area blending—this keeps the look focused on the ice lake blue main color.
3. Step 3: Draw Cut-Crease Line with Concealer Take the small concealer brush, dip a small amount of concealer, and draw a precise line along the black outer corner outline, extending from the inner corner to the outer corner to define the full cut-crease. Use gentle strokes to create a smooth, even line, then blend the edges of the concealer slightly with the fluffy brush to avoid a harsh contrast. This line separates the base shade from the cut-crease filler, creating a clean, cool-toned cut-crease effect.
4. Step 4: Fill Cut-Crease & Highlight Inner Corner Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 5 (ice lake blue silver shimmer pearl), tap off excess powder, and fill the cut-crease area with light patting motions. Ensure the color is vibrant and even, blending slightly with the concealer edge for a seamless finish. The ice lake blue’s silver shimmer adds a cool, ethereal glow that highlights the cut-crease. Then, use the small detail brush to dip Shade 3 (silver white duochrome), tap off excess powder, and dab it on the inner corner of the eye for brightening—this opens up the eyes and enhances the cool-toned vibe.
5. Step 5: Final Touch No lower lash line deepening is needed—this keeps the focus on the cut-crease and ice lake blue main color. Check the cut-crease line to ensure it is sharp and even, and the ice lake blue shade is blended smoothly. The final look is unique and creative, with a cool-toned cut-crease that stands out from daily looks.

Beginner Tips

Shade 5 (ice lake blue) is a cool-toned shade—pairing it with Shade 4’s neutral base prevents it from looking too harsh. When creating the black outline, focus only on the outer corner to avoid overwhelming the ice lake blue. Use a light hand when applying the concealer for the cut-crease to ensure the line is precise but not thick. This look’s key is “cool-toned contrast”: the black outline and ice lake blue filler create a striking yet elegant effect.

1. Nude Brown No-Eyeliner Natural Bare-Face Look (Suitable for: Students, Bare-Face Commuting, Beginner Zero-Threshold)

Shade Combination

Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Base) + Shade 8 (Translucent Light Gold Pearl, Lid Center Highlight)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 4, 8)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (optional, to extend wear time and prevent creasing)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer (Optional but Recommended) Take a small amount of eye primer and spread it evenly on the entire eyelid with your fingertips, from the lash line to the brow bone. Pat gently until fully absorbed. This step helps the eyeshadow adhere better, prevents creasing, and keeps the makeup looking fresh all day. If you don’t have eye primer, a small amount of concealer can be used as a substitute—just pat it lightly on the eyelid to create a smooth base.
2. Step 2: Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Pick up the flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 4 (light shimmer nude brown), and tap the brush lightly on the back of your hand to shake off excess powder—this prevents over-pigmentation and keeps the base natural. Starting from the lash line, apply the shade evenly on the entire eyelid with a thin, sheer layer, blending upward to the eye socket with gentle back-and-forth strokes. The goal is to create a soft, skin-like base that reduces puffiness without any obvious color, looking as natural as bare skin.
3. Step 3: Highlight with Shade 8 (Translucent Light Gold Pearl) Switch to the small detail brush, dip a tiny amount of Shade 8 (translucent light gold pearl), and tap off excess powder to avoid over-shining. Gently dab the shade only on the center of the eyelid (the highest point when your eyes are open), using light patting motions. Do not blend excessively; the highlight should be subtle and concentrated, adding a faint glow to the eyes without disrupting the natural bare-face vibe. No lower lash line makeup or aegyo-sal highlighting is needed.
4. Step 4: Final Touch No contouring, no eyeliner, and no extra blending needed. Check the entire eyelid to ensure there are no obvious gaps or uneven areas. The final look is extremely natural, with only a subtle warm brown base and a faint gold highlight, making it perfect for days when you want to look put-together without any heavy makeup. It’s zero-fuss and foolproof for beginners.

Beginner Tips

Shade 4 must be applied as thin as possible—remember the “sheer and skin-like” principle to avoid a heavy base. When applying Shade 8, use a light hand and focus only on the center of the lid; too much highlight will break the bare-face effect. This look is ideal for beginners who are new to eye makeup or prefer a low-key daily style.

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 4, 7, 9)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (optional, to extend wear time and prevent creasing)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer (Optional but Recommended) Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid with your fingertips, patting gently until absorbed. This step ensures the eyeshadow stays in place all day without creasing, especially important for long workdays or formal occasions. A small amount of concealer can be used as a substitute if you don’t have eye primer—just ensure it’s blended smoothly to avoid patchiness.
2. Step 2: Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 4, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire eyelid from the lash line to the eye socket. Blend gently with back-and-forth strokes to create a smooth, even base that reduces puffiness and provides a neutral canvas for contouring. The light shimmer of Shade 4 is subtle and not flashy, creating a matte-like finish when blended with Shade 7.
3. Step 3: Contour with Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a small amount of Shade 7 (deep warm shimmer brown), and shake off excess powder. Gently blend the shade along the eye socket and the outer 1/3 of the lower lash line, using circular motions to soften the edges. This step defines the eye shape naturally, creating a subtle contour that is appropriate for formal occasions. Ensure the contour is blended seamlessly with the base shade, with no obvious lines between the two colors.
4. Step 4: Invisible Tightline with Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black) Take the small detail brush, dip a tiny amount of Shade 9 (pure matte black), and tap off excess powder. Gently fill in the upper lash line roots (tightline) with light strokes, focusing only on the gaps between the lashes. This creates an invisible eyeliner effect that defines the lashes without looking harsh or obvious—perfect for business settings. Do not draw a visible line above the lash line.
5. Step 5: Final Touch Check the eye makeup to ensure all edges are blended smoothly. No pearl highlighting is needed for this look—this keeps the妆效 (makeup effect) sleek and matte-like, focusing on professionalism and elegance. The final look is natural,消肿 (puffiness-reducing), and appropriate for any formal or business occasion.

Beginner Tips

When blending Shade 7, use a light hand and build up the color gradually—this avoids over-contouring, which can make the eyes look heavy. For the tightline, keep the brush as close to the lash roots as possible and use short, gentle strokes to avoid smudging. This look’s key is “subtlety and sophistication”—no flashy elements, just a sleek, professional vibe.

3. Gold-Brown Shimmer Ambient Date Look (Suitable for: Evening Dates, Girlfriend Gatherings, Valentine’s Day)

Shade Combination

Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Base) + Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown, Contour) + Shade 1 (Metallic Bright Gold, Main Highlight)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 1, 4, 7)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and enhance shimmer)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid, patting gently until absorbed. This step helps the metallic gold shade adhere better and enhances its shimmer, making the look more vibrant and long-lasting—perfect for evening dates.
2. Step 2: Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 4, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire eyelid from the lash line to the eye socket. Blend gently with back-and-forth strokes to create a smooth, warm base that reduces puffiness and complements the metallic gold shade.
3. Step 3: Contour with Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a small amount of Shade 7, and shake off excess powder. Gently blend the shade along the eye socket and the outer corner triangle to create a natural contour, adding depth to the eyes. Blend the edges smoothly to avoid harsh lines—this keeps the look soft and romantic.
4. Step 4: Highlight with Shade 1 (Metallic Bright Gold) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 1 (metallic bright gold), tap off excess powder, and apply it extensively on the front 2/3 of the eyelid. Use gentle patting motions to ensure the color is vibrant and even, then blend the edges slightly with the fluffy brush to transition smoothly with the contour shade. Then, use the small detail brush to dab Shade 1 on the entire aegyo-sal (eyebag area) for highlighting—this opens up the eyes and adds a romantic glow.
5. Step 5: Final Touch Check the eye makeup to ensure the gold shade is blended smoothly with the base and contour. No black eyeliner is needed—this keeps the look soft and romantic, focusing on the warm gold-brown vibe. The final look is full of ambient charm, perfect for evening dates or romantic gatherings.

Beginner Tips

Shade 1 is highly pigmented with a metallic finish—start with a small amount and build up the color gradually to avoid over-shining. When applying the gold shade on the aegyo-sal, use a light hand to keep the look natural. If you want a more romantic effect, you can add a tiny amount of Shade 8 to the inner corner of the eye for extra brightening.

4. Brown-Black Full Eyeliner Soft Smoky Look (Suitable for: Evening Outings, Soft Western-Style Parties, Livehouses)

Shade Combination

Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown, Base) + Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black, Smoky & Full Eyeliner) + Shade 8 (Translucent Light Gold Pearl, Lid Center Highlight)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 7, 8, 9)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and prevent smudging)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid and lower lash line, patting gently until absorbed. This step is crucial for this look, as it ensures the black eyeshadow adheres well and doesn’t smudge or crease throughout the night.
2. Step 2: Base with Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 7, tap off excess powder, and apply it extensively on the entire eyelid. Blend gently with back-and-forth strokes to create a smooth, warm base that softens the black smoky effect and adds depth to the eyes.
3. Step 3: Soft Smoky & Full Eyeliner with Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black) Switch to the flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 9 (pure matte black), and tap off excess powder. Gently deepen the outer corner triangle and the entire lower lash line with the black shade, building up the color gradually to create a soft smoky effect. Use the fluffy blending brush to blend the edges of the black shade, softening the line between Shade 7 and Shade 9. Then, use the small detail brush to draw a full eyeliner along the upper and lower lash lines (full eyeliner), keeping the line smooth and even—this is the core of the look.
4. Step 4: Highlight with Shade 8 (Translucent Light Gold Pearl) Use the small detail brush to pick up Shade 8, tap off excess powder, and gently dab it on the center of the eyelid. This adds a subtle glow that balances the dark smoky effect, making the eyes more three-dimensional and lively. Do not over-blend the highlight—keep it concentrated in the center to avoid disrupting the smoky vibe.
5. Step 5: Final Touch Check the smoky effect and eyeliner to ensure they are blended smoothly. The smoky intensity can be adjusted according to your preference—add more Shade 9 for a deeper smoky effect, or blend more for a softer look. The final look is cool and glamorous, perfect for evening outings or parties.

Beginner Tips

When applying Shade 9, build up the color gradually—black eyeshadow is highly pigmented, so it’s easier to add more than to remove excess. Use a light hand when blending to avoid smudging the black shade onto the cheeks. For the full eyeliner, keep the brush close to the lash line and use short, gentle strokes to ensure a smooth line.

5. Dramatic Gold-Brown Gradient Red Carpet Dinner Look (Suitable for: Red Carpets, Dinners, Weddings, Formal Grand Occasions)

Shade Combination

Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Base) + Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown, Contour) + Shade 1 (Metallic Bright Gold, Gradient Highlight) + Shade 8 (Translucent Light Gold Pearl, Inner Corner Highlight) + Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black, Eyeliner & Contour)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (all shades, focus on Shades 1, 4, 7, 8, 9)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and enhance color vibrancy)
  • False eyelashes (to enhance the dramatic effect)
  • Eyelash glue

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid, patting gently until absorbed. This step ensures all shades adhere well, stay vibrant, and don’t crease—essential for a long-lasting formal look.
2. Step 2: Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 4, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire eyelid from the lash line to the brow bone. Blend gently with back-and-forth strokes to create a smooth, warm base that reduces puffiness and provides a perfect canvas for the gradient effect.
3. Step 3: Contour with Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a small amount of Shade 7, and shake off excess powder. Gently blend the shade along the eye socket and the entire lower lash line to create a deep contour, adding dimension to the eyes. Ensure the contour is blended seamlessly with the base shade, with no obvious lines.
4. Step 4: Define with Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black) Use the small detail brush to dip Shade 9, tap off excess powder, and deepen the outer corner of the eye to create a more dramatic contour. Then, draw an upward winged eyeliner along the upper lash line—this lifts the eye shape and adds a glamorous touch. Keep the eyeliner smooth and even, with a subtle wing that complements the eye shape.
5. Step 5: Gradient Highlight with Shades 8 & 1 Use the small detail brush to dab Shade 8 (translucent light gold pearl) on the inner corner of the eye for brightening. Then, use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 1 (metallic bright gold), tap off excess powder, and apply it on the middle of the eyelid, blending upward to the eye socket to create a gradient effect with Shade 7. Layer Shade 1 on the center of the lid to enhance the metallic光泽 (luster) and make the eyes more striking.
6. Step 6: False Eyelashes Apply a thin layer of eyelash glue to the false eyelash band, wait 10-15 seconds until the glue becomes tacky, then apply the false eyelashes close to the upper lash line. Press gently to secure, then use the small detail brush to blend the false lashes with your natural lashes for a seamless look.
7. Step 7: Final Touch Check the entire eye makeup to ensure all shades are blended smoothly, the eyeliner is sharp, and the false lashes are secure. The final look is a dramatic gold-brown gradient with complete contouring, eyeliner, highlighting, and false lashes—perfect for the most formal and grand occasions.

Beginner Tips

When applying the gradient highlight, blend Shade 1 and Shade 7 smoothly to avoid harsh lines—this creates a natural, seamless gradient. For the winged eyeliner, start with a small wing and build it up gradually to avoid mistakes. When applying false eyelashes, cut the lashes to fit your eye shape first for a more comfortable and natural fit.

1. Silver White Accent Natural Bare-Face Look (Suitable for: Daily Outings, Student Life, Beginner No-Makeup Makeup)

Shade Combination

Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Base) + Shade 3 (Silver White with Blue Shimmer Duochrome, Highlight)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 3, 4)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (optional, to extend wear time and prevent creasing)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer (Optional but Recommended) Take a small amount of eye primer and spread it evenly on the entire eyelid with your fingertips, from the lash line to the brow bone. Pat gently until fully absorbed. This step helps the eyeshadow adhere better, prevents creasing, and keeps the makeup looking fresh all day. If you don’t have eye primer, a small amount of concealer can be used as a substitute—just pat it lightly on the eyelid to create a smooth base.
2. Step 2: Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Pick up the flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 4 (light shimmer nude brown), and tap the brush lightly on the back of your hand to shake off excess powder—this prevents over-pigmentation, which is crucial for beginners who are new to eye makeup. Starting from the lash line, apply the shade evenly on the entire eyelid, blending upward to the eye socket with gentle back-and-forth strokes. Ensure the color is smooth and even, with no obvious gaps, creating a soft, neutral base that looks natural and not heavy. The light shimmer of Shade 4 adds a subtle glow without being flashy, achieving a soft-focus, puffiness-reducing effect.
3. Step 3: Highlight with Shade 3 (Silver White with Blue Shimmer Duochrome) Switch to the small detail brush, dip a tiny amount of Shade 3 (silver white with blue shimmer duochrome), and tap off excess powder to avoid over-shining. Gently dab the shade on the inner corner of the eye and the front half of the aegyo-sal (eyebag area), using light patting motions instead of sweeping—this keeps the highlight precise and delicate. Do not blend excessively; the highlight should be subtle and concentrated, adding a brightening effect that opens up the eyes without looking exaggerated. This step is the key to the “no-makeup makeup” vibe, as it only enhances the eye shape without adding obvious color.
4. Step 4: Final Touch No contouring, no eyeliner, and no extra blending needed. Check the entire eyelid to ensure there are no obvious gaps or uneven areas. The final look should have no obvious color payoff, with only the subtle silver white highlight enhancing the eye shape, creating a natural bare-face effect that is foolproof for beginners. It’s perfect for those days when you want to look put-together without spending too much time on makeup.

Beginner Tips

Shade 4 should be applied as thin as possible to avoid a heavy base—remember the “sheer and natural” principle. When applying Shade 3, use a light hand and focus on small areas (inner corner and aegyo-sal) to prevent the highlight from looking too flashy. If you have oily eyelids, set the eye primer or concealer with a tiny amount of translucent powder before applying eyeshadow to prevent creasing.

2. Silver-Purple Duochrome Gradient Cut-Crease Look (Suitable for: Dates, Photoshoots, Holiday Gatherings)

Shade Combination

Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Transition) + Shade 2 (Pink-Purple-Blue Shimmer Duochrome, Cut-Crease Front) + Shade 3 (Silver White with Blue Shimmer Duochrome, Cut-Crease Back)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 2, 3, 4)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and prevent creasing)
  • Concealer (for creating the cut-crease line)
  • Small concealer brush (for precise cut-crease application)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer & Base Prep Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid, patting gently until absorbed. Then, take a small amount of concealer and spread it on the entire eyelid to create a smooth, even base—this helps the duochrome shades appear more vibrant and prevents creasing.
2. Step 2: Transition with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Use the fluffy blending brush to pick up Shade 4, tap off excess powder, and gently blend it along the edges of the eyelid (around the eye socket and outer corner). This step creates a soft transition between the skin tone and the cut-crease colors, avoiding harsh lines and making the cut-crease look more natural. Keep the application thin and sheer—we only need a subtle transition, not a heavy base.
3. Step 3: Create the Cut-Crease Line Take the small concealer brush, dip a small amount of concealer, and draw a precise line along the eye socket (from the inner corner to the outer corner) to define the cut-crease. Use gentle strokes to create a smooth, even line, then blend the edges of the concealer slightly with the fluffy brush to avoid a harsh contrast. This line will separate the transition shade from the cut-crease colors, creating a sharp, defined cut-crease effect.
4. Step 4: Fill the Cut-Crease with Shades 2 & 3 Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 2 (pink-purple-blue shimmer duochrome), tap off excess powder, and fill the front half of the cut-crease area (closer to the inner corner). Then, pick up Shade 3 (silver white with blue shimmer duochrome) and fill the back half of the cut-crease area (closer to the outer corner). Use gentle patting motions to apply the colors, ensuring they are vibrant and even. Blend the edges of the two shades slightly to create a smooth gradient—this enhances the duochrome effect and makes the look more cohesive.
5. Step 5: Final Touch Check the cut-crease line to ensure it’s sharp and even. No eye tail contouring or black eyeliner is needed—this keeps the look focused on the duochrome gradient and maintains a soft, romantic vibe. You can add a tiny amount of Shade 3 to the inner corner of the eye for an extra brightening effect, if desired.

3. Silver-Brown Shimmer Contouring Daily Commuter Look (Suitable for: Office Commuting, Business Settings, Cool-Toned Daily Makeup)

Shade Combination

Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown, Base) + Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown, Contour) + Shade 3 (Silver White with Blue Shimmer Duochrome, Lid Center Highlight)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 3, 4, 7)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (optional, to extend wear time and prevent creasing)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer (Optional but Recommended) Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid with your fingertips, patting gently until absorbed. This step ensures the eyeshadow stays in place all day without creasing, especially important for long workdays. A small amount of concealer can be used as a substitute if you don’t have eye primer—just ensure it’s blended smoothly to avoid patchiness.
2. Step 2: Base with Shade 4 (Light Shimmer Nude Brown) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 4, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire eyelid from the lash line to the eye socket. Blend gently with back-and-forth strokes to create a smooth, even base that reduces puffiness and provides a neutral canvas for the next steps. The light shimmer of Shade 4 adds a subtle glow that is office-appropriate and not overly flashy.
3. Step 3: Contour with Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a small amount of Shade 7 (deep warm shimmer brown), and shake off excess powder. Gently blend the shade along the eye socket and the outer 1/2 of the lower lash line, using circular motions to soften the edges. This step replaces black eyeliner, creating a natural contour that defines the eye shape without being harsh or intimidating—perfect for business settings. Ensure the contour is blended seamlessly with the base shade, with no obvious lines between the two colors.
4. Step 4: Highlight the Lid Center with Shade 3 (Silver White with Blue Shimmer Duochrome) Use the flat eyeshadow brush again, dip a small amount of Shade 3, and tap off excess powder. Gently pat the shade on the center of the eyelid (the highest point when your eyes are open), and blend it slightly to the left and right. Keep the highlight concentrated in the center to make the eyes more three-dimensional and lively, adding a subtle glow without disrupting the sleek, professional vibe. Do not apply Shade 3 to the inner corner—this keeps the look more understated and office-appropriate.
5. Step 5: Final Touch Check the eye makeup to ensure all edges are blended smoothly. No eyeliner is needed for this look—Shade 7 already defines the eye shape perfectly. The final look is sleek, natural, and消肿 (puffiness-reducing), making it ideal for long workdays or business meetings.

Beginner Tips

When blending Shade 7, use a light hand and build up the color gradually—this avoids over-contouring, which can make the eyes look heavy. The key to this look is “subtlety”: the contour should define the eyes without being obvious, and the highlight should add dimension without being flashy. If you have hooded eyelids, focus the contour slightly above the eye socket to ensure it’s visible when your eyes are open.

4. Silver-Black Reverse Smoky Dramatic Look (Suitable for: Evening Parties, Small Dinners, Soft Glam Makeup)

Shade Combination

Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown, Lower Lash Line Base) + Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black, Reverse Smoky Main Color) + Shade 3 (Silver White with Blue Shimmer Duochrome, Upper Lid & Inner Corner Highlight)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 3, 7, 9)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to extend wear time and prevent creasing)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid and lower lash line, patting gently until absorbed. This step is crucial for this look, as it ensures the black eyeshadow adheres well and doesn’t smudge or crease throughout the night.
2. Step 2: Base on Lower Lash Line with Shade 7 (Deep Warm Shimmer Brown) Use the small detail brush to pick up Shade 7, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire lower lash line. Blend gently with back-and-forth strokes to create a smooth base—this softens the black eyeshadow and prevents it from looking harsh. The warm brown also adds depth to the lower lash line, making the reverse smoky effect more cohesive.
3. Step 3: Reverse Smoky with Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black) Switch to the flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 9 (pure matte black), and tap off excess powder. Gently apply the shade to the outer 2/3 of the lower lash line, building up the color gradually to create a smoky effect. Use the fluffy blending brush to blend the edges of the black shade, softening the line between Shade 7 and Shade 9. This step is the core of the reverse smoky look—focusing the smoky effect on the lower lash line instead of the upper lid, creating a unique and dramatic vibe.
4. Step 4: Highlight Upper Lid & Inner Corner with Shade 3 (Silver White with Blue Shimmer Duochrome) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 3, tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the front half of the upper lid. Blend gently to the middle of the lid, keeping the color vibrant but not overwhelming. Then, use the small detail brush to dab Shade 3 on the inner corner of the eye for a brightening effect—this opens up the eyes and balances the dark lower lash line.
5. Step 5: Define Upper Lid with Shade 9 (Pure Matte Black) Take the small detail brush, dip a tiny amount of Shade 9, and draw a small triangle on the outer 1/3 of the upper lid. Blend the edges of the triangle with the fluffy brush to soften it—this adds a subtle definition to the upper lid without creating a full smoky effect. Do not apply black eyeliner all around the eyes—this keeps the look focused on the reverse smoky effect and avoids looking too heavy.

Beginner Tips

When applying Shade 9, build up the color gradually—black eyeshadow is highly pigmented, so it’s easier to add more than to remove excess. Use a light hand when blending to avoid smudging the black shade onto the cheeks. If you want a more dramatic effect, you can add a tiny amount of Shade 3 to the center of the lower lash line to balance the dark color.

5. Gold-Silver-Pink Tri-Tone Pearl Starry Creative Look (Suitable for: Music Festivals, Themed Shoots, Cosplay, Club Makeup)

Shade Combination

Shade 2 (Pink-Purple-Blue Shimmer Duochrome, Front 1/3 of Lid) + Shade 3 (Silver White with Blue Shimmer Duochrome, Middle 1/3 of Lid) + Shade 1 (Metallic Bright Gold, Outer 1/3 of Lid)

Preparation Tools

  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES 849 – THE SPACE TRAVELER Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 1, 2, 3)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to make the pearl shades more vibrant and long-lasting)

Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)

1. Step 1: Eye Primer Apply eye primer evenly on the entire eyelid, patting gently until absorbed. This step helps the pearl shades adhere better and enhances their shimmer, making the look more vibrant and long-lasting.
2. Step 2: Apply Shade 2 on Front 1/3 of Lid Skip any base shades—this look is all about pure pearl gradient! Use the flat eyeshadow brush to pick up Shade 2 (pink-purple-blue shimmer duochrome), tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the front 1/3 of the eyelid (closer to the inner corner). Use gentle patting motions to ensure the color is vibrant and even, with no obvious gaps.
3. Step 3: Apply Shade 3 on Middle 1/3 of Lid Without cleaning the brush, pick up Shade 3 (silver white with blue shimmer duochrome) and apply it on the middle 1/3 of the eyelid. Blend the edges of Shade 2 and Shade 3 slightly with the fluffy brush to create a smooth transition—this enhances the gradient effect and makes the two shades look cohesive. The blue shimmer in both shades will create a unified, starry effect.
4. Step 4: Apply Shade 1 on Outer 1/3 of Lid Switch to a clean flat eyeshadow brush, pick up Shade 1 (metallic bright gold), tap off excess powder, and apply it on the outer 1/3 of the eyelid. Blend the edges of Shade 3 and Shade 1 slightly to create a smooth gradient—this adds warmth and depth to the look, balancing the cool tones of Shades 2 and 3.
5. Step 5: Highlight Inner Corner & Aegyo-Sal with Shade 3 Use the small detail brush to pick up Shade 3, tap off excess powder, and dab it on the inner corner of the eye and the entire aegyo-sal. This adds a brightening effect and enhances the starry vibe of the look. No contouring or eyeliner is needed—this keeps the focus on the pure pearl gradient.

Beginner Tips

Since there’s no base shade, apply the pearl shades with light patting motions instead of sweeping—this ensures the color adheres well and doesn’t fallout. Blend the edges of each shade gently to avoid harsh lines, but don’t over-blend—you want to keep the gradient distinct. If you want a more intense starry effect, you can layer the pearl shades slightly on the center of the lid.

1. Basic Black-Brown Smoky Look (Suitable for: Light Western Daily, Evening Dates)

Shade Combination
Shade 9 (Smoky Black, Outer Corner) + Shade 7 (Warm Brown, Base) + Shade 8 (Light Gold, Lid Center)
Preparation Tools
  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 9, 7, 8)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to prevent creasing and enhance color durability)
  • Mascara (optional, to enhance the subtle smoky vibe)
Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)
  1. Step 1: Eye Primer & Base Preparation Apply a thin layer of eye primer on the entire eyelid, from the lash line to the brow bone, and pat gently until fully absorbed. This step ensures the eyeshadow stays in place all day and night, preventing creasing and fading—perfect for evening dates and daily Western-style wear.
  2. Step 2: Base with Shade 7 (Warm Brown) Pick up the flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 7 (warm brown), and tap the brush lightly on the back of your hand to shake off excess powder. Starting from the lash line, apply the shade evenly on the entire eyelid, blending upward to the eye socket with gentle back-and-forth strokes. This creates a soft warm brown base that softens the harshness of the smoky black, laying a natural foundation for the subtle smoky look.
  3. Step 3: Smudge Shade 9 (Smoky Black) on the Outer Corner Switch to the small detail brush, dip a small amount of Shade 9 (smoky black), and tap off excess powder. Apply the shade to the triangular area of the outer corner in small circular motions, then use the fluffy blending brush to blend the edges with the warm brown base. Keep the smudging light and natural—this adds subtle depth to the eyes without being too bold, suitable for light Western daily wear.
  4. Step 4: Highlight Lid Center with Shade 8 (Light Gold) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to dip a small amount of Shade 8 (light gold), tap off excess powder, and gently pat the shade on the center of the eyelid. This brightens the eye area, adds a subtle glow, and balances the smoky black, making the eyes look more lively and three-dimensional.
  5. Step 5: Blend the Edges Use the fluffy blending brush to gently blend the edges of the smoky black and warm brown, ensuring there are no harsh lines. This creates a seamless, natural smoky effect that is perfect for evening dates and light Western daily wear. If desired, apply a thin coat of mascara to complete the look.
Beginner Tips
This look is all about subtlety—use a light hand when applying Shade 9 (smoky black) to avoid over-pigmentation. Blend the edges thoroughly to keep the smoky effect soft and natural, which is the key to light Western style.

This creates a warm base that softens the intensity of the smoky black, making the full-wrap smoky look more wearable.
  2. Step 2: Apply Shade 9 (Smoky Black) on the Entire Eyelid & Lower Lash Line Use the flat eyeshadow brush to dip a generous amount of Shade 9 (smoky black), tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire eyelid, covering the warm brown base. Blend upward to the eye socket to create a smoky effect. Then, switch to the small detail brush, dip a small amount of Shade 9, and sweep it along the lower lash line to achieve the full-wrap effect—this enhances the dramatic vibe, perfect for parties and nightclubs.
  3. Step 3: Highlight Lid Center with Shade 2 (Silver White) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to dip a small amount of Shade 2 (silver white), tap off excess powder, and gently pat the shade on the center of the eyelid. This brightens the eye area, breaks the dullness of the smoky black, and adds a stunning glow, making the eyes look more three-dimensional and eye-catching.
  4. Step 4: Blend the Edges Use the fluffy blending brush to gently blend the edges of the smoky black on the upper eyelid and lower lash line, ensuring a smooth, seamless smoky effect. Avoid harsh lines to keep the look sophisticated rather than messy. If desired, apply a coat of mascara to make the lashes thicker and the eyes more dramatic.
Beginner Tips
When applying Shade 9 (smoky black) on the lower lash line, use a small detail brush and a light hand to avoid smudging. Start with a thin layer and build up gradually to achieve the full-wrap effect without looking heavy.

  4. Step 4: Sweep Shade 9 (Smoky Black) on the Lower Lash Line Use the small detail brush to dip a small amount of Shade 9 (smoky black), and gently sweep it along the lower lash line. This enhances the smoky effect, balances the gold glow, and makes the eye makeup more cohesive and dramatic—ideal for festivals and red carpets.

  4. Step 4: Sweep Shade 9 (Smoky Black) on the Lower Lash Line Use the small detail brush to dip a small amount of Shade 9 (smoky black), and gently sweep it along the lower lash line.

Beginner Tips
When applying Shade 2 (silver white), use a patting motion to keep the shimmer intact and enhance the glow. Avoid sweeping motions, which can reduce the silver white’s vibrancy. The smoky black should be blended smoothly to maintain the high-end, sophisticated vibe.

This enhances the bold, formal vibe of the look, making it perfect for red carpets and other formal occasions.
Beginner Tips
When drawing the full-wrap eyeliner with Shade 9, use short, light strokes to ensure it’s smooth and even. If the liner is uneven, use a clean detail brush to clean up the edges. When applying false eyelashes, wait for the glue to become tacky to avoid slipping and ensure a secure fit.

1. Deep Sea Blue Cut Crease Look (Suitable for: Parties, Music Festivals, Bold Makeup)

Shade Combination
Shade 6 (Sapphire Blue, Cut Crease Main Color) + Shade 7 (Warm Brown, Base) + Shade 9 (Smoky Black, Outer Corner)
Preparation Tools
  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 6, 7, 9, 2)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush, 1 small concealer brush)
  • Concealer (for creating cut crease contour)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to prevent creasing and enhance color vibrancy)
Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)
  1. Step 1: Eye Primer & Base Preparation Apply a thin layer of eye primer on the entire eyelid, from the lash line to the brow bone, and pat gently until fully absorbed. This step is essential for bold blue makeup, as it ensures the color stays vibrant, prevents creasing, and avoids fading throughout the day or night—perfect for long party or music festival hours.
  2. Step 2: Base with Shade 7 (Warm Brown) Pick up the flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 7 (warm brown), and tap the brush lightly on the back of your hand to shake off excess powder. Starting from the lash line, apply the shade evenly on the entire eyelid, blending upward to the eye socket with gentle back-and-forth strokes. This creates a soft warm brown base that balances the intense deep sea blue, adds depth to the eye makeup, and makes the cut crease more striking.
  3. Step 3: Create Cut Crease Contour Use the small concealer brush to dip a small amount of concealer, draw an arc line from the center of the eyelid to the inner corner, dividing the eyelid into upper and lower parts (cut crease contour). Blend the concealer gently with your fingertips to ensure a smooth, clean line—this will make the cut crease look sharp and dramatic, highlighting the bold blue shade.
  4. Step 4: Fill Cut Crease Area with Shade 6 (Sapphire Blue) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to dip Shade 6 (sapphire blue), tap off excess powder, and fill the upper area of the cut crease evenly. Pat the shade gently to ensure it adheres well and looks smooth, making the deep sea blue the focal point of the eye makeup. This creates a bold, sharp cut crease effect that is perfect for parties and music festivals.
  5. Step 5: Deepen the Outer Corner with Shade 9 (Smoky Black) & Highlight Inner Corner Use the small detail brush to dip a small amount of Shade 9 (smoky black), apply it to the triangular area of the outer corner in small circular motions, and blend the edges with the fluffy blending brush. This adds depth and drama to the eyes, contrasting with the sapphire blue. Finally, dip a tiny amount of Shade 2 (silver white) with the detail brush and dot it on the inner corner to brighten the eye area, balancing the bold colors. A striking deep sea blue cut crease look is now complete!
Beginner Tips
When drawing the cut crease contour, take your time to ensure the line is smooth and even—you can use a small brush to clean up the edges if needed. Shade 6 (sapphire blue) is highly pigmented, so start with a small amount and build up the color gradually to avoid over-pigmentation.

2. Blue & Gold Color Block Party Look (Suitable for: Parties, Nightclubs, Festivals)

Shade Combination
Shade 6 (Sapphire Blue, Back 2/3 of Lid) + Shade 8 (Light Gold, Front 1/3 of Lid) + Shade 9 (Smoky Black, Outer Corner)
Preparation Tools
  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES Eyeshadow Palette (Shades 6, 8, 9)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (fluffy blending brush, flat eyeshadow brush, small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to make colors more vibrant and prevent bleeding)
Detailed Steps
  1. Step 1: Eye Preparation Apply eye primer to the entire eyelid and let it dry. This step is crucial for color block makeup, as it ensures the sapphire blue and light gold stay true to color and do not bleed into each other, maintaining a sharp color block effect.
  2. Step 2: Apply Shade 6 (Sapphire Blue) on the Back 2/3 of the Lid Use the flat eyeshadow brush to dip a generous amount of Shade 6 (sapphire blue), tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the back 2/3 of the eyelid (from the center to the outer corner). Keep the edge clean for now—we will blend it slightly later to create a soft transition without losing the color block vibe.
  3. Step 3: Apply Shade 8 (Light Gold) on the Front 1/3 of the Lid Switch to a clean flat eyeshadow brush, dip a generous amount of Shade 8 (light gold), tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the front 1/3 of the eyelid (from the inner corner to the center). Align the edge of the light gold with the edge of the sapphire blue, keeping the line as clean as possible for a striking blue-gold contrast.
  4. Step 4: Deepen the Outer Corner with Shade 9 (Smoky Black) Use the small detail brush to dip a small amount of Shade 9 (smoky black), apply it to the outer corner of the eye in small circular motions, and blend the edges with the fluffy blending brush. This adds depth to the eyes and enhances the dramatic vibe, making the color block look more cohesive and party-ready.
  5. Step 5: Layer Shade 8 (Light Gold) on the Lid Center Dip the flat eyeshadow brush into Shade 8 (light gold) again, and pat it gently on the center of the eyelid (where the blue and gold meet). This brightens the eye area, reinforces the gold glow, and creates a subtle transition between the two colors, making the look more lively and eye-catching—perfect for nightclubs and festivals.
Beginner Tips
Use separate brushes for the blue and gold shades to avoid mixing and muddying the colors. When applying the two shades, keep the edges clean first, then blend only slightly at the center to maintain the bold color block effect while avoiding harsh lines.

  • Eye Primer (recommended, to prevent creasing and smudging)
  • Mascara (optional, to enhance the edgy vibe)
Detailed Steps
  1. Step 1: Base with Shade 6 (Sapphire Blue) Apply eye primer to the entire eyelid and let it dry. Use the flat eyeshadow brush to dip Shade 6 (sapphire blue), shake off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire eyelid, blending upward to the brow bone. This creates a bold deep sea blue base that forms the foundation of the smoky eye, perfect for edgy style and music festivals.
  2. Step 2: Create Smoky Effect with Shade 9 (Smoky Black) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a moderate amount of Shade 9 (smoky black), and shake off excess powder. Gently blend the shade into the eye socket in circular motions, extending from the eye socket to the outer corner of the eye. Keep blending until the black and sapphire blue transition naturally, creating a bold but refined smoky effect—avoid making the smoky area too large to keep the look focused on the blue tone.
  3. Step 3: Transition with Shade 7 (Warm Brown) Use the fluffy blending brush to dip a small amount of Shade 7 (warm brown), and blend it along the edges of the smoky area (around the eye socket and outer corner). This softens the harshness of the black and blue, creating a natural transition and adding depth to the eye makeup, making the smoky look more elegant and wearable for evening outings.
  4. Step 4: Highlight the Lid Center with Shade 6 (Sapphire Blue) Dip the flat eyeshadow brush into Shade 6 (sapphire blue) again, and pat it gently on the center of the eyelid to layer the blue. This brightens the eye area, reinforces the bold blue tone, and breaks the dullness of the smoky effect, enhancing the edgy and eye-catching vibe that is perfect for music festivals.
  5. Step 5: Finish with Mascara (Optional) Apply a coat of mascara to make the lashes thicker and the eyes more dramatic, enhancing the edgy smoky vibe that suits music festivals and evening outings.
Beginner Tips
Blending is key for this smoky look—take your time to blend Shade 9 with Shade 6 and Shade 7 to ensure a smooth transition. Start with a small amount of Shade 9 and build gradually to avoid the look being too heavy or overwhelming the blue base.

This creates a soft warm base that enhances the vibrancy of the blue and green, making the gradient effect more striking.
  2. Step 2: Apply Shade 5 (Teal Green) on the Lid Center Switch to the flat eyeshadow brush, dip a generous amount of Shade 5 (teal green), tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the center of the eyelid. Blend the edges slightly upward to the eye socket, creating a smooth base for the gradient transition.
  3. Step 3: Apply Shade 6 (Sapphire Blue) on the Outer Corner Use the small detail brush to dip a generous amount of Shade 6 (sapphire blue), apply it to the outer corner of the eye, and blend it inward toward the teal green center.

  4. Step 4: Blend the Gradient Edges Use the fluffy blending brush to gently blend the edges of the blue and green, ensuring there are no harsh lines between the two colors. Blend upward to the eye socket to integrate the gradient with the warm brown base, creating a cohesive, creative look that is perfect for photo shoots and music festivals.
Beginner Tips
When creating the gradient, start with the lighter teal green in the center and then add the darker sapphire blue on the outer corner—this makes blending easier. Use light, circular motions to blend the edges, and build up the color gradually for a smooth transition.

Apply the shade to the triangular area of the outer corner in small circular motions, then use the fluffy blending brush to blend the edges with Shade 7 (warm brown). This adds depth to the eyes and balances the brightness of the teal green, making the look more cohesive and refined.
  5. Step 5: Highlight Inner Corner with Shade 2 (Silver White) Take the small detail brush, dip a tiny amount of Shade 2 (silver white), and gently dot it on the inner corner of the eye. Blend it slightly with your fingertips to brighten the eye area, making the eyes look more open and lively. If desired, apply a thin coat of mascara to complete the look. A low-key yet unique teal green glitter everyday look is now ready!
Beginner Tips
When applying Shade 5 (teal green), use a light hand to keep it subtle for daily wear—you can build up the color gradually if you want a bolder look. Blend the edges of the teal green well to avoid it looking disjointed from the warm brown base.

2. Teal Green Cut Crease Creative Look (Suitable for: Creative Makeup, Music Festivals)

Shade Combination
Shade 5 (Teal Green, Cut Crease Main Color) + Shade 7 (Warm Brown, Base) + Shade 9 (Smoky Black, Outer Corner)
Preparation Tools
  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES Eyeshadow Palette (Shades 5, 7, 9, 2)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (fluffy blending brush, flat eyeshadow brush, small detail brush, small concealer brush)
  • Concealer (for creating cut crease contour)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to prevent creasing and enhance color vibrancy)
Detailed Steps
  1. Step 1: Base with Shade 7 (Warm Brown) Apply eye primer to the entire eyelid and let it dry. Use the flat eyeshadow brush to dip Shade 7 (warm brown), shake off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire eyelid, blending upward to the eye socket. This creates a warm base that makes the teal green cut crease more striking.
  2. Step 2: Create Cut Crease Contour Use the small concealer brush to dip a small amount of concealer, draw an arc line from the center of the eyelid to the inner corner, dividing the eyelid into upper and lower parts (cut crease contour). Blend the concealer gently with your fingertips to ensure a smooth, clean line—this will make the cut crease look sharp and creative.
  3. Step 3: Fill Cut Crease Area with Shade 5 (Teal Green) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to dip Shade 5 (teal green), tap off excess powder, and fill the upper area of the cut crease evenly. Pat the shade gently to ensure it adheres well and looks smooth, making the teal green the focal point of the eye makeup. This creates a bold, creative cut crease effect that is perfect for music festivals and creative makeup.
  4. Step 4: Deepen the Outer Corner with Shade 9 (Smoky Black) Switch to the small detail brush, dip a small amount of Shade 9 (smoky black), apply it to the outer corner of the eye in small circular motions, and blend the edges with the fluffy blending brush. This adds depth to the eyes and contrasts with the teal green, enhancing the bold, creative vibe of the look.
  5. Step 5: Highlight Inner Corner with Shade 2 (Silver White) Use the small detail brush to dip a tiny amount of Shade 2 (silver white), and gently dot it on the inner corner of the eye. Blend it slightly to brighten the eye area, balancing the bold colors and making the eyes look more lively. A striking teal green cut crease creative look is now complete!
Beginner Tips
When drawing the cut crease contour, take your time to ensure the line is smooth and even—you can use a small brush to clean up the edges if needed. Shade 5 (teal green) can be applied more generously here to make the cut crease more eye-catching.

3. Teal Green & Gold Brown Color Block Look (Suitable for: Color Block Creative Makeup, Photo Shoots, Parties)

Shade Combination
Shade 5 (Teal Green, Front Half of Lid) + Shade 7 (Warm Brown, Back Half of Lid) + Shade 8 (Light Gold, Lid Center)
Preparation Tools
  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES Eyeshadow Palette (Shades 5, 7, 8)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (fluffy blending brush, flat eyeshadow brush, small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to make colors more vibrant and long-lasting)
Detailed Steps
  1. Step 1: Eye Preparation Apply eye primer to the entire eyelid and let it dry. This step is crucial for color block makeup, as it ensures the colors stay true and do not bleed into each other.
  2. Step 2: Apply Shade 5 (Teal Green) on the Front Half of the Lid Use the flat eyeshadow brush to dip a generous amount of Shade 5 (teal green), tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the front half of the eyelid (from the inner corner to the center). Keep the edge clean for now—we will blend it later to create a soft transition.
  3. Step 3: Apply Shade 7 (Warm Brown) on the Back Half of the Lid Switch to a clean flat eyeshadow brush, dip a generous amount of Shade 7 (warm brown), tap off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the back half of the eyelid (from the center to the outer corner). Align the edge of the warm brown with the edge of the teal green, keeping the line as clean as possible for a striking color block effect.
  4. Step 4: Highlight Lid Center with Shade 8 (Light Gold) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to dip Shade 8 (light gold), tap off excess powder, and pat it gently on the center of the eyelid (where the teal green and warm brown meet). This not only brightens the eye area but also helps blend the edges of the two colors slightly, creating a soft transition while maintaining the color block vibe.
  5. Step 5: Blend the Edges Use the fluffy blending brush to gently blend the edges where the teal green and warm brown meet, focusing on creating a smooth transition without blending the colors too much. This ensures the color block effect is still striking while avoiding harsh edges. A bold, eye-catching teal green & gold brown color block look is perfect for photo shoots and parties!
Beginner Tips
When applying the two colors, keep the edges clean first—blend only slightly at the end to maintain the color block effect. Use separate brushes for each color to avoid mixing and muddying the shades.

This creates a bold teal green base that forms the foundation of the smoky eye, perfect for edgy style.
  2. Step 2: Create Smoky Effect with Shade 9 (Smoky Black) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a moderate amount of Shade 9 (smoky black), and shake off excess powder. Gently blend the shade into the eye socket in circular motions, extending from the eye socket to the outer corner of the eye. Keep blending until the black and teal green transition naturally, creating a bold but refined smoky effect—avoid making the smoky area too large to keep the look focused.
  3. Step 3: Transition with Shade 7 (Warm Brown) Use the fluffy blending brush to dip a small amount of Shade 7 (warm brown), and blend it along the edges of the smoky area (around the eye socket and outer corner). This softens the harshness of the black and teal green, creating a natural transition and adding depth to the eye makeup, making the smoky look more elegant and wearable.
  4. Step 4: Highlight the Lid Center with Shade 5 (Teal Green) Dip the flat eyeshadow brush into Shade 5 (teal green) again, and pat it gently on the center of the eyelid to layer the teal green. This brightens the eye area, reinforces the bold color, and breaks the dullness of the smoky effect, enhancing the edgy and eye-catching vibe that is perfect for music festivals and evening outings.
  5. Step 5: Finish with Mascara (Optional) Apply a coat of mascara to make the lashes thicker and the eyes more dramatic, enhancing the edgy smoky vibe that suits music festivals and evening outings.
Beginner Tips
Blending is key for this smoky look—take your time to blend Shade 9 with Shade 5 and Shade 7 to ensure a smooth transition. Start with a small amount of Shade 9 and build gradually to avoid the look being too heavy or overwhelming.

1. Creamy Red Brown Everyday Look (Suitable for: Daily Commute, Gentle No-Makeup Makeup)

Shade Combination
Shade 4 (Red Brown Matte, Base) + Shade 7 (Warm Brown, Transition) + Shade 8 (Light Gold, Lid Center)
Preparation Tools
  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES Eyeshadow Palette (focus on Shades 4, 7, 8)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (1 fluffy blending brush, 1 flat eyeshadow brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (optional, to extend wear time and prevent creasing)
Detailed Steps (Beginner-Friendly, Step-by-Step)
  1. Step 1: Eye Primer (Optional but Recommended) Take a small amount of eye primer and spread it evenly on the entire eyelid with your fingertips, from the lash line to the brow bone. Pat gently until fully absorbed. This step helps the eyeshadow adhere better, prevents creasing, and keeps the makeup looking fresh all day. If you don’t have eye primer, a small amount of concealer can be used as a substitute.
  2. Step 2: Base with Shade 4 (Red Brown Matte) Pick up the flat eyeshadow brush, dip an appropriate amount of Shade 4 (red brown matte), and tap the brush lightly on the back of your hand to shake off excess powder—this prevents over-pigmentation, which is crucial for beginners. Starting from the lash line, apply the shade evenly on the entire eyelid, blending upward to the eye socket with gentle back-and-forth strokes. Ensure the color is smooth and even, with no obvious gaps, creating a soft red brown base that looks natural and not heavy.
  3. Step 3: Transition with Shade 7 (Warm Brown) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a small amount of Shade 7 (warm brown), and shake off excess powder. Gently blend the shade along the edges of the red brown base (around the eye socket and outer corner), softening the edges and creating a natural transition between the red brown and the skin tone. This step avoids the red brown looking abrupt and adds depth to the eye makeup.
  4. Step 4: Highlight the Lid Center with Shade 8 (Light Gold) Use the flat eyeshadow brush again, dip a small amount of Shade 8 (light gold), and tap off excess powder. Gently pat the shade on the center of the eyelid (the highest point when your eyes are open), and blend it slightly to the left and right. Keep the highlight concentrated in the center to make the eyes more three-dimensional and lively, adding a subtle glow without disrupting the gentle vibe.
  5. Step 5: Lightly Sweep Shade 4 on the Lower Lash Line Take the small detail brush, dip a tiny amount of Shade 4 (red brown matte), and gently sweep it on the back half of the lower lash line. This echoes the upper eyelid’s red brown tone, completes the eye makeup, and makes the eyes look softer and more cohesive. A gentle, no-makeup red brown everyday look is now complete!
Beginner Tips
Shade 4 (red brown) is pigmented but soft—still follow the “less is more” principle to avoid the eye makeup looking too heavy. When blending the lower lash line, use a light hand to keep the look natural.

This brightens the eye area, adds a touch of sparkle, and balances the depth of the outer corner, making the eye makeup more lively and romantic.
  5. Step 5: Highlight the Under-eye Area (Optional) Use the under-eye highlighter pencil to draw a thin line on the under-eye area (the卧蚕 area) and blend it gently with your fingertips. This makes the eyes look rounder and softer, enhancing the romantic vibe. Finish with a coat of mascara if desired to make the lashes thicker and the eyes more energetic.
Beginner Tips
When applying Shade 9 (smoky black), keep the area small and blend thoroughly to avoid a harsh look. The key to this look is the balance between red brown and black—romantic but not heavy.

3. Red Brown Gold Shimmer Ambience Look (Suitable for: Parties, Festivals, Photo Shoots)

Shade Combination
Shade 4 (Red Brown, Base) + Shade 8 (Light Gold, Main Color) + Shade 9 (Smoky Black, Outer Corner)
Preparation Tools
  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES Eyeshadow Palette (Shades 4, 8, 9)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (fluffy blending brush, flat eyeshadow brush, small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (recommended, to make the shimmer more vibrant)
Detailed Steps
  1. Step 1: Base with Shade 4 (Red Brown) Apply eye primer to the entire eyelid and let it dry. Then use the flat eyeshadow brush to dip Shade 4 (red brown), shake off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire eyelid, blending upward to the eye socket. This creates a warm red brown base that enhances the gold shimmer later.
  2. Step 2: Apply Shade 8 (Light Gold) on the Entire Lid Switch to the flat eyeshadow brush, dip a generous amount of Shade 8 (light gold), and tap off excess powder. Apply it evenly on the entire eyelid, covering the red brown base. Blend upward to the eye socket, ensuring the gold shimmer is evenly distributed—this creates a bright, festive ambience that is perfect for parties and photo shoots.
  3. Step 3: Deepen the Outer Corner with Shade 9 (Smoky Black) Use the small detail brush to dip a small amount of Shade 9 (smoky black), apply it to the outer corner of the eye in small circular motions, and blend the edges with the fluffy blending brush. This adds depth to the eye makeup and prevents the gold shimmer from looking too plain, creating a balanced and sophisticated look.
  4. Step 4: Layer Shade 8 (Light Gold) on the Lid Center Dip the flat eyeshadow brush into Shade 8 (light gold) again, and pat it gently on the center of the eyelid to layer the shimmer. This makes the center of the eye more bright and eye-catching, enhancing the ambience and making the eye makeup more suitable for photo shoots—your eyes will sparkle in photos!
Beginner Tips
Eye primer is essential for this look, as it makes the gold shimmer more vibrant and long-lasting. When layering Shade 8, use a patting motion instead of sweeping to keep the shimmer intact.

4. Mature Red Brown Work Look (Suitable for: Office Commute, Business Occasions)

Shade Combination
Shade 4 (Red Brown, Base) + Shade 7 (Warm Brown, Transition) + Shade 9 (Smoky Black, Eyeliner)
Preparation Tools
  • Chanel LES 9 OMBRES Eyeshadow Palette (Shades 4, 7, 9)
  • Eyeshadow Brush Set (fluffy blending brush, flat eyeshadow brush, small detail brush)
  • Eye Primer (optional)
  • Mascara (recommended, to enhance professionalism)
Detailed Steps
  1. Step 1: Eye Primer Apply a thin layer of eye primer or concealer on the eyelid and pat until absorbed to ensure long-lasting wear, which is important for all-day work.
  2. Step 2: Base with Shade 4 (Red Brown) Use the flat eyeshadow brush to dip Shade 4 (red brown), shake off excess powder, and apply it evenly on the entire eyelid, blending upward to the eye socket. Keep the application light and even—this creates a soft, mature red brown base that is suitable for the office, not too bold.
  3. Step 3: Transition with Shade 7 (Warm Brown) Switch to the fluffy blending brush, dip a small amount of Shade 7 (warm brown), and blend it along the eye socket and the edges of the red brown base. This softens the red brown and adds a natural contour, making the eyes look more three-dimensional without being too dramatic.
  4. Step 4: Draw Eyeliner with Shade 9 (Smoky Black) Use the small detail brush to dip a small amount of Shade 9 (smoky black), and draw a thin eyeliner along the upper lash line, starting from the inner corner to the outer corner. Keep the liner thin and close to the lash line, tapering slightly at the outer corner—this is more natural than a liquid liner and adds a touch of professionalism without being too harsh.
  5. Step 5: Apply Mascara Curl your eyelashes and apply a thin coat of mascara, focusing on the roots to make the lashes look thicker. This enhances the eyes and completes the mature, professional work look—perfect for office commutes and business occasions.
Beginner Tips
When drawing the eyeliner with Shade 9, use short, light strokes to avoid mistakes. If the liner is too thick, use a clean detail brush to blend the edges for a softer look.
