Chanel’s Illusion D’Ombre: The eyes have it!

Caressed with a halo of pearly particles, the eyes play a starring role and incite intriguing encounters. At the heart of the Fall 2011 Makeup Collection, the new Chanel eye shadow interprets the richness of this world of precious materials and intangible colors. From first contact, Illusion D’Ombre delivers an unprecedented sensory experience. Its long-lasting, ultra-light, and silky cream texture with a powdery appearance becomes one with the skin. The eye shadows come in six different shades: Fantasme, an iridescent white; Mirifique, every nuance of black; Émerveillé, a tender peach; Énloui, a brown smoldering with red; Illusoire, a grey-tinged taupe and Épatant, a grey-shadowed khaki.

As the elegant partner of enigmatic eyes, the spontaneous Rouge Coco lipstick by Chanel brings its rich femininity in two shades: Plumets, an innocent peach tone, and Étole, luminous coppery rosewood. Le Crayon Lévres emphasizes the lip contour for a perfectly traced smile. Les 4 Ombres — four understated shadows — comes in timeless colors grey brown, grey beige, luminous beige, and deep taupe brown for a matte or satiny makeup result.

Chanel is available at Rustan’s.
