Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatches of the Chanel Ombre Première Top Coat in the shades (317) Carte Blanche and (327) Pénombre.
They are part of Chanel’s Fall-Winter collection dedicated to black and white, the two iconic Chanel shades.
This is a very interesting product I got to play with at work and I’m going to share everything I’ve learned.
You can get them on Chanel’s website for 36$ each.
(317) Carte Blanche
(327) Pénombre
COLOURS
- (317) Carte Blanche is a shimmery warm-toned white.
- (327) Pénombre is a shimmery grey-green.
PACKAGING
They are single eyeshadows which are not my favourite because I prefer palettes but for this kind of formula it makes sense they are singles.
Being Chanel the packaging is gorgeous, super fancy and it comes with a velvet pouch, a tiny mirror and a little applicator (which is a bit ridiculous in my opinion) too.
FORMULA & PIGMENTATION
The formula is creamy and very sheer, it is like a gel glitter but it’s not gritty in texture. They are made to be used over a powder eyeshadow and they don’t have much fallout.
I personally like them on their own because I like the sheer almost wet look.
APPLICATION
The best way to put them on is with your fingers.
SWATCH
327 Pénombre on the lid 
317 Carte Blanche in the corner 
LASTING POWER
That’s the major downside for me, sadly on my lids, they crease in less than 2 hours, whether I use a primer underneath or not but I have extremely oily eyelids so it might be a problem only for me.
RATINGS:
- Colour: 10/10
- Longevity: 5/10
- Application: 8/10
- Texture: 8/10
- Pigmentation: 7/10
- Packaging: 9/10
GRADE: B-
These eyeshadows look so beautiful, I love the black and white theme and the dark shade is also very unique. The packaging is stunning and I like that they are a bit sheer but sadly they are a pass for me because they don’t last on my lids. I can still use the white in the inner corners but as an actual top coat, they don’t last (again it might be because my eyelids are super oily).

Oh that darker color is very interesting. Love how it has a green undertone to it! Sorry these didn’t work out for you though. Working in a makeup store must be sooo tempting!
You don’t even know ahahha the dark one is so pretty I was so upset when it creased so quickly x
I’ve been contemplating what to get from this collection and it seems like both are misses for me urghh! Have you tried or reviewed anything else from this collection?
I’ve tried everything because at work I got to play with it and personally I only liked the eyeliners and the white gloss ??
Ahhh okok
These shades look beautiful in the pan, but I don’t think I would use this type of product much x

Yeah I don’t think they are worth the price
I have actually never tried chanel products. This one seems ok, I do like the colors!
It’s pretty but it doesn’t last on me
These eyeshadows are so beautiful and luxurious! Together they create wonderful winter make-up. I love the Pénombre shade best.
That’s very pretty! It’s a shame they don’t last x
Chanel products are so good. The packaging looks amazing
They really have the best packaging
I really like these shades! Unfortunately, I have really oily skin too so I’m so happy you wrote this review first!!
I’m glad it helped you! That’s what I’m here for x
I am loving the colors. It gives just the right amount of shimmer.
I love the look you created!
