Today I have a review of the Chanel Le Rouge Crayon de Couleur Jumbo Longwear Lip Crayons ($37 each) to share. Thanks to the generosity of Chanel (or a retailer, specify if known), I've had the opportunity to extensively test several shades from this highly anticipated line. These aren't your average lip crayons; Chanel has meticulously crafted these with a focus on both intense color payoff and comfortable, long-lasting wear. This review will delve into the texture, application, longevity, and of course, provide swatches of several key shades, comparing them to other popular Chanel lip products.
First Impressions: A Jumbo Affair
The first thing that strikes you about the Chanel Le Rouge Crayon de Couleur is its size. These are truly "jumbo" crayons, significantly larger than your typical lip pencil. This generous size suggests a substantial amount of product, hinting at lasting power. The sleek, black casing feels luxurious in the hand, echoing the high-end quality we expect from Chanel. The twist-up mechanism is smooth and reliable, dispensing just the right amount of product with each turn. No sharpening required, a definite plus for on-the-go application.
Texture and Application:
The formula is surprisingly creamy for a long-wear lip crayon. It glides on effortlessly, providing a smooth, even application without tugging or pulling. While it's described as long-lasting, it's not drying or uncomfortable. The texture is more akin to a luxurious balm than a matte liquid lipstick, making it comfortable for extended wear. The color intensity is immediate and vibrant, building beautifully from sheer to opaque with multiple applications. The crayon's sizable tip allows for quick and precise application, making it easy to achieve a perfectly defined lip line, even without a lip liner.
Longevity and Staying Power:
Chanel's claim of "longwear" is largely accurate. With minimal touch-ups, these lip crayons can easily last for five to six hours, even with light eating and drinking. The color fades gracefully, leaving a subtle stain behind rather than disappearing abruptly. While not completely transfer-proof, they are remarkably smudge-resistant, especially when compared to other creamy lipstick formulas. The more intense shades tend to last slightly longer, with the lighter shades potentially requiring a touch-up after a meal.
Swatches and Shade Comparisons:
Now, let's get to the heart of the matter – the swatches! I'll be showcasing several shades and comparing them to other iconic Chanel lip products.
1. Chanel Discretion Lip Crayon (Shade Name Needed): (Insert swatch here – high-quality image of the swatch on the skin. Describe the shade. Is it a nude? Pink? Describe its undertones. How does it compare to other similar Chanel nudes? Mention any similar shades from other lines.) For example: "This shade is a beautiful, muted rose nude, perfect for everyday wear. Its subtle pink undertones prevent it from looking washed out. It reminds me slightly of Chanel's *[Name of similar Chanel nude shade]* but possesses a creamier texture and a more vibrant finish."
