Chanel 849 Tutorial
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.

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.

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.
