I have rarely known a discontinued beauty product go viral and spark a huge trend after its demise, but such is the apparent power of Sofia Richie. The model, socialite and daughter of Lionel Richie got married this spring wearing Chanel’s limited edition Duo Lumière Multi-Use Illuminating Eye Gloss, and caused what scant stock remained to instantly sell out.
Since then, I’ve been asked frequently for a dupe that lasts without creasing. The truth is that, original or lookalike, long-lasting eye gloss is an oxymoron. Forget it. Eye gloss is a shiny, semi- or completely transparent eyeshadow that resembles something between lip gloss and lip balm for the eyes, and stays put for about as long.
