As odd as it looks, this is a brilliant product. I love to contour my face when I have time. Ombre Contraste Notorius Sculpting Veil for Eyes and Cheeks takes some practice to apply but looks beautiful when done right. I brushed the sculpting powder from the hairline toward the center of face, beneath the cheek bone. Then I applied blush on to the cheekbone, overlapping Notorious just a bit, which helps to blend. Viola! Sculpted cheekbones.
Ooops, a little scratch...
Chanel describes Notorious' color as mauve-taupe, but I seen a hint of red in it too.
There's room from this cool-toned contour product in my makeup collection as well as a warm one. My other favorite contour product is Tom Ford's Shade and Illuminate Sculptor. I use Number 2, a warm dark brown. It looks great with the warmer toned blushes I use, but Notorious pairs perfectly with the cooler-toned products such as Chanel's true-red Rouge blush from the Byzance collection.
It doesn't look as good as an eye shadow on my NC45 skin tone, but per Charlestongirl, it makes a great eyebrow product.
For other Notorious reviews see Messy Wands and Glossed in Translation.
I bought Notorious from Georgia at Saks, Chevy Chase, Maryland, (240) 497-5363. It's also available on Chanel.com.
