Rouge Saga (683)
Dior Rouge Saga (683) 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette ($65.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a very copper-leaning color story released as a limited edition palette for the autumnal season. The quality was decent but not as good as Dior has been in the past, as a few shades seemed to have a firmer/stiffer press to them.

Formula Overview
–
The formula is supposed to have a “creamy and comfortable texture” that is long-wearing and has “intense color” (or “high-pigment”). There are five finishes that can be found within various palettes: matte, satin, shimmer, metallic, highlighter, and glitter, though there aren’t specific descriptions by finish, unfortunately.
There were a few shades that seemed more sparkly and were sheerer, more like layering shades, while the other finishes tended to be pigmented. In general, the texture was moderately dense with the matte shades being slightly thinner and a smidgen powdery in the pan compared to the satin, shimmer, and metallic shades.
Aside from those more sparkly shades, the formula was blendable, pigmented, easy to work with, and lasted an average of eight hours on me (without a primer).
