Chantecaille Black Jaguar and Cougar Eye Quartets

Splurge alert! So… not an everyday purchase, these, but a divine present – or a must for those many devotees, nay, collectors of Chantecaille’s series of ‘wildlife’ palettes, all of which raise funds to help safeguard different endangered species, and something that founder Sylvie Chantecaille and her daughters have been engaged with from the get-go.

Choose your palette from the shades – or choose your cause. The mysterious, deep, smouldering Black Jaguar Eye Quartet/£70, for instance, has been put together to support the Amazon Sacred Headwaters Initiative.

Or go for the neutral tones of the Cougar Eye Quartet/£70, which is inspired by the wonderful shades of that big cat’s coat. In this case, the cause is Yellowstone Forever, and the 150th anniversary of Yellowstone National Park, where cougars roam.

Almost too beautiful to use. But that WOULD be a shame, wouldn’t it?
