In spring, the light-whether radiant or thrilling-offers its changing moods to the most capricious of seasons. A harmony of shimmering colours that trace new horizons with the promise of finer days ahead.
Peter Philips creative director of Chanel Make Up, has translated into colours the exhilarating blend of pure air and softness so distinctive of spring.
For this latest Chanel makeup collection, all shades of pink, coral and peach adorn the lips, cheeks and fingertips, capturing the changing moods of spring.
On a whim, the lips choose the sparkle of gloss, the insouciant charm of lipshine or the elegance of a satiny lipstick. Fresh or sun-kissed, the cheekbones set off the purity of the complexion, whilst the eyes are cloaked in luminous nude tones or succumb to the fantasy of amber flecked with gold.
Punctuating the entire Makeup Collection, the glow of garnet is a reminder that the better weather also brings a breath of sensuality. In an elegant contrast to the pastels and bright notes, it coats the nails with a touch of timeless femininity. Swept over the lips or as a wash on the eyelids, highlighted with tonal eyeliner, it reveals all the seduction of its ambiguous shade.
BLUSH HORIZON DE CHANEL
Chanel’s timeless case holds the multiple shades of the dawn and sunset.
Translated into graphic lines, romantic inspiration is brought up tp date and takes on the joyful appearance of stripes in the colours of a “spring sky”. Like the skyline at dusk, a fine stroke of garnet highlighted in bright white runs across the palette. On either side, graded tones of pink and peach underscore the contrast of sensations from delicate April morning to the first rays of sun announcing fine weather to come.
Peter Philips has created a multiple palette in a reflection of this versatile season. Thanks to new multi-compaction technology. Blush Horizon de Chanel offers an unprecedented combination of five tones in the same case. Tailored to the profusion of shades, a bevelled brush delivers a choice of effects. In a single shade or monochrome hues, the blush is added as you wish to the cheekbones, in a touch of pink for a healthy glow or a swirl of peach for a sun-kissed radiance.
