Chanel Rouge Vie (58) Rouge Allure Velvet Review & Swatches

Chanel Rouge Vie (58) is a very warm-toned, dark plum with a satin finish. It is a permanent lipstick that retails for $45.00 and contains 0.12 oz.

Chanel Rouge Vie (58) Rouge Allure Velvet ($38.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark plum with moderate, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had rich pigmentation in a single stroke, which had a smooth, more velvety-creamy feel that wasn’t too slippery but didn’t feel too silicone-heavy.

The latter was why I felt it applied better and was more forgiving of lip texture/lip lines. The color lasted well for five and a half hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.
