Christian Dior 3 Couleurs Tri (O) Blique Eyeshadow Palettes in Coral Glow & Mineral Rose

The Christian Dior 3 Couleurs Tri (O) Blique Eyeshadow Palettes, Inspired by the Dior Oblique collection, offer a trio of  pink and coral colors and 3 effects: metallic, sparkly and velvety matte. Both eyeshadow palettes are based on the Dior Oblique Collection.

So, what exactly is the Dior Oblique Collection?   In its 52 years of existence, Dior‘s Oblique pattern (which takes it name from the collection created by Christian Dior for Fall/Winter 1950-1951) has established itself as one of the French house’s signatures. Created in 1967 by Marc Bohan, creative director from 1961 to 1989, it was not until Spring/Summer in 1969 that this print was revealed to the general public, appearing for the first time on one of the bags from the Haute Couture collection.  Today, the Oblique pattern continues to perpetuate its heritage .

Dior still makes the Oblique pattern today.  And now, you can even find the Oblique Pattern on the Christian Dior 3 Couleurs Tri (O) Blique Eyeshadow Palettes, including two new shades in Coral Glow, and Mineral Rose.  After exactly 52 years of its existence, one thing is certain, the signature Oblique pattern continues.  It can be found on Street Wear, Canvas Handbags, Luggage, the Floors  of Dior Shops, and now, printed on makeup, proving that the signature Dior Oblique Design has stood the test of time, and still has a bright future ahead of it!

Finally, I’ve had these two palettes for a while, for the past few months, and honestly, I forgot about them.  I’m glad I rediscovered them, found them in my to do pile, and was able to get to know them better.

They are both beautiful palettes, one in corals, the other in pinks.  I didn’t experience any fallout.  The shades went on easily. For more color impact, I  actually applied two layers of the shade for the swatches.  My arms are a bit deeper than my face, so I don’t think I will need to layer so much, to build the color, when I apply the shades to my eyes.  One last thing, AI love both of these palettes for the right now, Spring, and later for the Summer.  They are goldilocks palettes, the shades are just right!  And, the palettes are to the point, and very easy to use.
