Chanel Remanence & Motionless Rouge Attract Laques Evaluations & Swatches

Remanence (69)

Chanel Remanence (69) Rouge Allure Laque (2020) ($40.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark reddish-coral with subtle, warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque color coverage in a single layer, which could be built up with a second layer. The texture was very lightweight, thin, and spreadable with more of a balminess to it than a wateriness.

It developed into something slightly thicker with moderate tackiness, which also seemed to soften the appearance of my lip lines a bit as it wore on (not actually doing so, just the appearance). It wore well for six hours and felt hydrating, though it was a long way from the 12-hours promised.

Formula Overview

$40.00/0.18 oz. - $222.22 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "ultra-intense colour with longwearing satin shine in one swipe" that lasts up to "12 hours" and is comfortable for up to "8 hours." The majority of shades I tested had more medium to semi-opaque coverage in one layer, which could be built up by applying a second layer.

The consistency felt more emollient and like a liquid lip balm initially, and within 30 seconds, it transformed to something slightly thicker, denser, and tackier, which helped to keep the product in place better. I also felt like over time, the color seemed to look more even and was less likely to sit in my lip lines, but this could take an hour or longer to be visible.

It was felt rather lightweight and had more of that "satin shine" the brand claimed after an hour or two of wear, and it felt significantly less tacky. There are other formulas on the market that have a similar start and finish in feel (going from something thinner to something thicker and tackier), but the tackiness wearing down faster with Chanel's formula ended up reducing longevity significantly.

The color lasted between five and seven hours with deeper, more pigmented and brighter shades lasting longer than lighter ones. They did not survive that well through a meal, and for something that is marketed as lasting up to 12 hours, I'd expect better survivability. They were very comfortable and hydrating to wear, though, and they left my lips in better condition after wearing different shades over a few days. They had a floral scent but didn't yield a noticeable taste for me.

And no, these are nothing like the previously-released Rouge Allure Laque formula. The older formula has more like a literal liquid lipstick, so it was creamier, thicker, and the formula didn't change or set after a minute or so; at most, it wore down to a more satin to semi-matte finish after a few hours of wear (as any glossier lipstick might). While they share the same name, they're really different types of formulas.

Immobile (70)

Chanel Immobile (70) Rouge Allure Laque (2020) ($40.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a bright, pinky-red with cooler undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was buildable to mostly opaque coverage with a second layer–you’ll want to wait for the first layer to “set” though.

The liquid lipstick had a very lightweight, thin, and more emollient feel that was more balm-like than watery initially. It developed into a slightly thicker, moderately tacky consistency that stayed in place well and was comfortable to wear. This shade lasted nicely for seven hours and felt moisturizing over time.
