Captivating Red (86)
Chanel Rouge Captivant (86) Rouge Allure Lacquer (2020) ($ 40.00 for 0.18 oz.) Is a vibrant ruby red with cool, blue undertones and a satin finish. The texture was light, smooth, and almost balsamic in that it was quite creamy, thin, and emollient, but it developed and set into a more transfer-resistant finish that was slightly sticky and wouldn’t slip when worn.
It had rich coverage of color in a single pass that applied evenly and easily along my lips, especially the edges, without settling or feathering in my lip lines over time. It stayed good for eight hours, staining, and moisturizing over time.

Formula overview
$ 40.00 / 0.18 oz. – $ 222.22 per ounce
The formula is said to have “ultra-intense color with a long-lasting satin sheen in one go” that lasts for up to “12 hours” and is pleasant for up to “8 hours”. Most of the shades I tested had medium to semi-opaque coverage in one layer that could be built up by applying a second layer.
The consistency initially felt softer and like a liquid lip balm and turned to something thicker, denser, and stickier within 30 seconds, which helped hold the product in place better. I also felt that the color looked more even over time and was less likely to get stuck in my lip lines, but it could take an hour or more to show up.
It felt pretty light and had more of the “satin sheen” the brand claimed after an hour or two of wear, and it felt significantly less sticky. There are other formulas on the market that have a similar start and finish feel (from a little thinner to a little thicker and stickier), but the stickiness that wears off faster with Chanel’s formula reduced the lifespan significantly.
The color lasted between five and seven hours, with deeper, more pigmented, and lighter shades lasting longer than lighter ones. They didn’t survive a meal as well, and for something marketed as up to 12 hours I would expect better survivability. However, they were very comfortable and moisturizing, and left my lips in better condition after wearing different shades for a few days. They had a floral scent, but for me no noticeable taste.
And no, these are nothing like the previously published Rouge Allure Laque formula. The older formula is more like a literal liquid lipstick, so it was creamier, thicker, and the formula didn’t change or set in about a minute; At most, after a few hours of wear, it wore off to a silky to semi-matte finish (like any glossier lipstick could). Although they have the same name, they are really different types of formulas.

Irregular Red (87)
Chanel Rouge Irregulier (87) Rouge Allure Lacquer (2020) ($ 40.00 for 0.18 oz.) Is a deep red with warm brown undertones and a silky sheen. It had an opaque paint release that stuck evenly and smoothly to my lips without accentuating the lip texture or settling in my lip lines.
The consistency felt light, smooth, and pliable at first, but dried to a more transfer-resistant finish that didn’t slip but was light and comfortable to wear. It lasted a good six and a half hours and felt moisturizing when worn.
