Chanel Rouge Allure Intense: Gracile

Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lipstick in Gracile - part of the next generation of Rouge Allures that feature the same packaging as the originals and a new formula with concentrated, ultra-thin pigments for radically intense colour, full coverage, and a satin finish.  Gracile is described as a soft beige pink and the satin texture gives it a soft barely glossy finish.  It shows up more pink than beige on my lips, though.  The color does tend to look best paired with darker/stronger eye makeup, but I chose to go with softer makeup this time (with the kohl, of course).  Read on for photos and swatches.

Chanel's Rouge Allure Intense lipstick Gracile is a soft, almost neutral shade that would be a great shade for the day if you want a softer look or as a contrast to balance out a strong smokey eye.  Depending on the lighting, it tends to go from a beige-pink to a soft pink.  While the pigmentation is opaque enough to cover most of the unevenness of my lips even when applied with a lip brush, I do find the texture difficult to work with on my dryness-prone lips.  Overall, it's a perfect pick for anyone who loves soft/neutral shades.
