Practical, Neutral Eyeshadow Palettes in Rosy Tan and Rosy Nude for Dior Summer 2011

June 22, 2011 Paris B 30 Comments

It would seem like the blogosphere is all agog over the various Fall 2011 collections already. Well, I got burnt out a while ago so I’m not even going there anymore. For some reason, seeing wave after wave of new collections or of one collection turns me off that collection, believe it or not. I usually only pick up interest again once it launches or closer to launch date. So I’m going to stay firmly in Summer mode for now 🙂 Hello! Its only June!

dior rosy tan and rosy nude eyeshadow palettes

Here are the 2 limited edition eyeshadow palettes released in the Dior Summer 2011 collection – Rosy Tan (left) and Rosy Nude (right). You will have seen them already. The palettes are very simple neutral palettes, in my view. Nothing dramatic or exciting. But very practical.

The two palettes look like different shades of each other so you don’t need both, really. Rosy Nude is the lighter toned one, where all the colours have iridescent shimmer. If what you’re looking for is a pale neutral tone of colour on the eyes, Rosy Nude will be it. The brown in this one is a tad light though. Enough to give slight depth of colour but not enough to line. I thought I would prefer this one but I found I actually prefer Rosy Tan a little more.

Rosy Tan has deeper colours and when applied, the colours go on the skin stronger and I personally believe has better colour range than Rosy Nude. If you prefer colours that show up more then Rosy Tan is the one to go for. The colours are mostly iridescent except for the colour in the lower right which is matte (but which is my favourite shade of the lot!)

As I’ve said, the colours aren’t very exciting are they? The pink is soft and is surprisingly quite easy to wear. The texture is quite typically Dior, and the colours tend toward the iridescent hint of colour instead of eye popping in your face colour. If you like this style of eyeshadows, its worth taking a look. If you prefer something eye popping and strong coloured this will not be for you.

I haven’t been able to get a good shot of it on the eyes, so you’d just have to make do with these product swatches. I usually use a dark colour swept over my whole lid and tempered with a light shimmer shade. I do find that the shades tend towards being rather warm while I prefer cool toned browns (which are darned hard to find!). Still, so long as I stick to just 2 colours, I’ve been able to make both palettes work – unexciting but very practical 🙂

Pros: Lovely washes of neutral colour for the lids, Nice eyeshadow texture without chunky glitter

Cons: Pricey, Colours may be too safe and sheer for some

Actually, since I do have both palettes, I do end up mixing shades from both palettes. Rosy Nude has 3 gorgeous iridescent shades that go very nicely with the colours from Rosy Tan. However, you don’t need both. If you are in the market for a neutral eyeshadow palette, just go for either. They both work well in that regard.

Speaking of floods of news about new collections, lets hear your thoughts. Are you the sort who likes knowing in advance about all the upcoming collections and keeping tabs on everything? Or do you find it too overwhelming and perhaps even get turned off when there’s too much about the same brand/collection/item? You know what I think, so what about you? 🙂

    Come on, it’s only the beginning of summer and you’ve (well, not you Paris practically!) let me know what is out in winter? That’s a huge no no…

    On another hand, I could see in advance and analyse my stash, I have enough time to decide if I need (it’s always WANT, not need = =) something…

    Pros and cons, really 🙂

    OOO! I do like Rosy Tan, but a Dior palette is a little out of my means now. ^.^ However, that’s easily remedied because I have quite a few similar colors for now.

    I am quite intriuged by Bobbi Brown’s Tortoise Shell collection though. and MAC’s Semi Precious heh heh heh.

      I saw the pics of the Tortoiseshell collection and that does look pretty. To be fair, few Bobbi Brown collections get the sort of air time that other brands do so I don’t get so sick of them so quickly LOL!

    colors are quite sweet. they remind me of japanese eyeshadow brands – a bit paler and less pigmented, but nonetheless very wearable.

      Yes yes! They are just like Japanese eyeshadows! I love Japanese eyeshadows which is probably why I could identify with these haha

          Yes! I love Japanese eyeshadows. Lots of people complain they aren’t pigmented but some brands or formula are quite good – it just depends on the sort of pigmentation one prefers. I for one am not into the very strong colour blocks that are found in many brands 😉

    I actually wanted to get Rosy Tan but I wish the colours were a bit darker. I really want Dior to release a beautiful dark brown palette. They had one several years ago but it was sold out before I had a chance to get it 🙁

      The colours in recent Dior collections tend to be quite light and I’m not sure why. But I believe this Fall, they are going dark and I’m very happy with that! 😀

    I bought Rosy Tan and sad to say that while the swatches look really pretty, the result upon application is so so. It’s just a regular day to day wear look. Nothing too unique. Yes,there’s similarity of it to japanese eye shadow. But if i were to fork out this much of money for an eye palatte, i think i will be happier investing on lunasol. Speaking of which, the upcoming fall collection by lunasol looks tempting. Probably will cave in and get one.
    And yes, i like to read about upcoming collections but not so when every other beauty bloggers out there are reporting the same thing. Prefer reviews and swatches to gauge which will work and what to buy.

      Yes it is quite an ordinary palette, I must say. Its good for those who may not like the glitter/high shimmer in Japanese palettes though, but who might want that sheer wash of colour. I love my shimmer so I’m happy with Japanese brands 😉 I was quite taken by the Lunasol summer (is it summer? The one with the Coral Pink blush and blue-pink eye palette?) but haven’t gone to check them out yet.

    I think I am kinda bored with e/s already. There is no e/s which I absolutely must have anymore. I tend to wear similar earthy tones for work anyway.

    I am quite interested in complexion products. But then 1 item takes a long time to use up, so hmmmm…cannot justify buying and storing at home.

    Oh, you got both Rosy Nude and Rosy Tan!! 🙂
    I agree that both of them are great neutral palettes. I’m still a bit undecided which two or three palettes are going to accompany me on my travel to Taiwan/HK, but Rosy Nude would be totally on the safe side, huh? 😉

      My suggestion would be to try Rosy Tan if you have dark skin. I think that shade will work better 🙂
