MANILA, Philippines - This holiday season, Chanel glows with its symphony of red, gold, and light to add a sumptuous touch to the delightful festivities.
On the face, it becomes one with the skin, reflecting the light in an exceptional way.
Les Scintillances de Chanel is composed of eyeshadows and sparkling powders. Ivory, black, golden beige, and red — Peter Philips, creative director of Chanel Makeup, uses the iconic colors of the House of Chanel for a makeover scintillating with gold and light.
Poudre Universelle Libre is ideal in evening lighting. A simple cloud of this evanescent powder preserves the freshness and translucency of the complexion. It comes in feerie, a delicate pink shade finely strewn with gold.
Mixing fine jewellery and costume jewellery is an integral part of the style of Gabrielle Chanel. She loved the sumptuous radiance or the touch of lightness that they added to an evening gown or a simple knit. For his exclusive creation, Philips drew inspiration from a belt buckle worn by Mademoiselle Chanel in a photo taken in the 1930s.
Like a treasure hidden in its black case, the Lumiere Sculptee de Chanel highlighting powder takes up the motif, sculpted into a raised surface. A simple brushstroke adorns the face with an iridescent halo of beige sprinkled with gold. The sheer powder catches the light on the cheekbones and sweeps lightly over the forehead or the chin to accentuate the structure of the face.
Traced along the base of upper lashes, a line of Ligne Extreme lights up the eyes, emphasizing the gaze and drawing attention to the beauty of the eyes.
Ombre Essentiettle offers a natural tone illuminated with multicolored sparkles. When worked with a sheer finish, the shadow pigments fully express themselves to reveal intangible shades that shimmer in the changing lights.
Ombre Contraste Duo in noir-ivoire makes any look possible. The creamy and luminous light shadow dresses the eyelid in a pearly halo for an eye-opening effect. The more intense, matte, and powdery shadow adds depth and structure for dramatic eyes.
Levres Scintillantes, the ultra-shiny gloss by Chanel, combines freshness and sensuality. Sweet beige is an elegant nude, revealing slightly sparkling effects, while Sparkle D’or offers a sheer shade filled with golden facets.
Rouge Allure is the ultimate, ultra-feminine beauty accessory. Its satiny second-skin texture dresses up the smile in bold and daring colors with an inimitable touch of provocation. With Famous, red becomes vibrant, subtly nuanced with a dash of shocking pink. With Enivree, elegant pink is warmed with gold.
Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss makes lips shine with intense, sophisticated, and luminous colors. The seductive gloss by Chanel comes in an original shade: Triomphal, a vibrant and ardent red that wavers between glamour and playfulness.
Le Vernis Rouge Carat sets off the golden and pearly harmonies. It’s ultra-feminine, sophisticated, and coordinated with lipstick.
Chanel is available exclusively at Rustan’s.
