Khaki (343)

The Dior Khaki (343) 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette attracted my curiosity due to the desaturated, earthy color story, but it is the brand’s most recent eyeshadow reformulation. It’s not the worst Dior eyeshadow formula I’ve tried, since there was a time when the quality was truly bad, but I believe it’s inferior to the previous formula. The textures were slightly thinner, harder, or less pigmented and lasting.
