MANILA, Philippines - The product: Chanel’s Notes de Printemps collection for spring 2014
Why it’s exciting: The Chanel Makeup Creation Studio marries pink and violet plum shades — the collection is a harmony of pastel hues as fresh as spring. At the heart is a new spring red. Fresh and luminous, the sunny red is tender and bright on lips, nails and cheeks. Pinks and violets come in endless variations: pastel pink swept over eyelids in a sheer touch or electric pink on lips. It’s grey lavender for a soft gaze or violet plum lacquer on nails.
What it includes: Lumières Facettes Limited Edition, the Quadrille palette, and Illusion D’Ombre for eyes; Chanel Rouge Coco, Dédicace, Rouge Allure, Rouge Allure Velvet, Lèvres Scintillantes and Les Crayon Lèvres for the lips; Chanel Le Vernis in Charivari, a dark mauve and Tapage, a soft, vibrant red for nails; Le Blush Crème de Chanel in Chamade, a tangy rosy red and Intonation, an intense coral; and Chanel Poudre Universelle Compacte in Préface, a universal light peach shade.
Where to get it: Chanel’s Notes de Printemps collection is available at Rustan’s.
