Hi hi,

this entry features the Dior 3 Couleurs Glow 651 Nude Glow, an eyeshadow trio which will be released with Dior's Fall 2012 makeup collection - for information on the collection, please click on this entry here here here. 

If you aren't aware, the 3 Couleurs were only released a couple of years back, if I am not wrong, and these have a very nifty way of opening up the palette.  You slide open the cover, and a mirror slides up, and you see the three colours - 2 main colors, and a liner shade. This is quite handy, and the picture below shows the size difference between the trio and the quint. 

651 Nude Glow is a very pale peachy nude palette, with a matte black liner shade. 

Here is the product description and how to apply it -- and I followed the steps in my LOTD:

Within the exclusive 3 couleurs glow sliding case lies the secret to naturally luminous, dramatic and couture eyes.  In 3 easy steps, our 3 new-generation fusion formula enhance your eyes with nude or pastel shades, a highlighter and a liner to define them. 

- a satiny nude or pastel EYESHADOW with an ultra-fine texture melts into the skin.  Apply to eyelid and blend.

- a HIGHLIGHTER shade with a wet-look finish illuminates the eyes.  Dab on the center of the eyelid and the inner and outer corners of the eye.  

- A powder LINER is applied to the upper lash line to define the eyes and create the ultimate fashion touch.

and I also swatched the liner wet and dry

the liner looks darker then it is applied wet

The lid color is quite soft, and pigment. 

The highlighter shade is a very fine and shimmery shade, that sparkles without having much of a base colour.  

This is be used as a layering shade to add some texture/ sparkle as I have done in my LOTD.

eyelook close up - the lid shade is very natural, and just added a little color to my lids without being too loud, or like I am wearing eyeshadow...like the name states, it's a NUDE GLOW..

it was very hot, and I was erm...sweating..so I prolly look a little /glowier than usual...but quite nice IMO..nonetheless.
