Worth It: Chanel Brightening Collection Les 4 Ombres Délices
Limited-edition Chanel releases are collector's items. The Les 4 Ombres Tweed, which launched in September 2022, remains one of my most prized possessions. Should I use it? Yes. But instead, I just leave it nestled in its tweed sleeve and stare at the meticulously textured markings to spark joy. I genuinely didn’t think the bundle could be topped, until the brand announced its Brightening Collection a few weeks back.
I'm the first to admit: I was highly skeptical upon receiving the Les 4 Ombres Délices. My eyes immediately darted to the rose and mauve shades. They’re wearable. They’re soft. They’re pretty. The lilac and the yellow? Not so much. Never have I ever used a variation of either shade on my lid; I wasn’t even remotely sure where to start. My default became the brand’s campaign images. I picked my favorite model and set out to recreate a color-inclusive look.
I started simple, just dusting the pale pink across my lid. Nothing fancy. Nothing tricky. Very doable. Step one was complete. The pigment was subtle albeit buildable, complimented my skin tone, and had no fallout. So far, so good—now onto the layering. Despite my extreme fear and unfamiliarity with yellow eyeshadow, I decided to go full steam ahead. I packed the yellow hue on my outer corner.
Then I moved onto the lilac, which I packed on in the inner corner. The purple hue is far from my norm, but it wasn’t too wild or crazy where it stopped being wearable. The hue was more like a soft pop of color. The final touch? A little mauve accent under my lower lash line to add a little extra oomph. Fast forward through the rest of my makeup routine and I was ready to evaluate the final outcome.
It was different for me, there’s no question about it. But it was different in a good way—the quad of colors and blendable formulas meshed together like a dream. It was a cotton candy, watercolor-esque eye that was out of the box in the chicest way possible. Is it an everyday look? No—but it’s not supposed to be. It’s an easy, eye-catching pattern that I’ll whip out for special summer occasions. It’s a treat, just like the palette itself.

1 city, 2 people — and India’s widening religious divideSyed Mohammad Munir Abidi is convinced India is no longer the same country it once was for its minority Muslim citizens. Swami Ram Das believes otherwise: He says India is on a quest to redeem its Hindu past and that the majority Hindus are finally getting their due. Both symbolize the opposing sides of India’s entrenched religious divide that intensified three decades ago in their holy hometown of Ayodhya after a historic mosque was demolished by Hindu hardliners to make way for a temple. India is on the cusp to eclipse China as the world’s most populated country, but its religious fault lines have become starker, a testament to the perils of rising Hindu nationalism in a constitutionally secular country.
