When I saw the Guerlain Ecrin 4 Couleurs eyeshadow palettes, there was definitely one in the world for me.  Do you ever sense that about a product? That there is one that is just made for you?

Palettes with bright green or black; they are usually indicators that I will love them! 

The palette is lovely, heavy weight, and luxurious.  It will get finger marks on it because it’s shiny metal:

I can see why some people will find Les Noirs too dark, too cool but as someone who loves smoky colours, this is just the perfect palette!

The base colour is a slightly flat matte peach, the mid toned grey is also a perfectly flat grey, then there’s a silvery gunmetal and the matte black – I am always searching for a perfect matte black.

For me this works as a neutral palette but applied very sparingly, of course!  It’s not too sparkly, which means there’s quite an elegant finish to it….if I can’t be bothered with anything else I can just use the peach all over and the black very softly to line around the eyes.
There are also some other lovely combinations in the Ecrin 4 Couleurs range, such as a warm brown and a purples! I’m so sure how soft they are but Les Noirs is nice and pigmented:

I really like this palette; I’ve been looking for one with this combo of colours for a while.
What did you think of this palette?

There’s a matte black by Givenchy which is meant to be amazing. It’s pricey though.
