Gabrielle Chanel was fascinated by the art of poetry. She shared with poets the same spirit and aspiration for beauty. And beyond verses or clothing lay the idea of absolute perfection, invisible to the eye.

For this collection, the Chanel Makeup Creation Studio draws inspiration from a colour steeped in poetic tenderness: pink, interpreted in a spectrum of shades, an intense and fragile colour palette.

Eyes

The eyes are naturally at the very heart of this poetic and romantic collection. As intense and changing as our emotions, eye shadows can be applied as a monochrome shade, layered and blended or used to sculpt the eyes for a more striking look. All shades of pink are at work: pale and shimmery pinks, bright pinks or raspberry.

Purple and blackcurrant tones worn on the eyelids highlight and intensify the eyes. A touch of bold yellow on the inner corner of the eye and a stormy grey lacquer on the nails are a reminder of the capricious nature of love, which can shift from the shadows to full in the blink of an eye.

The smile adopts the same colour variation, illuminated by the scintillating textures of the lip glosses and the shiny textures of the lipsticks. It creates a harmony that celebrates contrast in endless combinations. A sheer gloss and pearly nail colour express the ebb and flow of the heart through multi-coloured hues.

Dominated by pink, the palette of eye shadows brings tenderness or passion in infinite variations.

Écriture de Chanel – The new eyeliner by Chanel combines simplicity and definition to create a personalized makeup result. Its soft felt-tip applicator allows you to draw a more defined, precise and adjustable line in one easy stroke: thick or thin, along the lashes or with a graphic effect on the eyelid. Available in two classic and intense shades – Noir and Brun.

Ombre Essentielle – The monochrome eye shadow by Chanel gains intensity. Tender or passionate, eyelids are adorned with assertive, vibrant and uncompromising colour.

Sensation – a light shimmery pink as sweet as a serenade.

Palpitation – a deep pink to fade into the eyelids.

Hésitation – an intense rosewood for all harmonies, whether romantic or sensual.

Pulsion – a deep blackcurrant to sculpt the eyes for a swooning effect.

Exaltation – an invigorating raspberry pink, an ode to femininity.

Admiration – bright and surprising, a buttercup yellow to play with like an element of style.

Les 4 Ombres Poésie – The gradation of shadows opts for a palette of light and dark tones for contrasting eye makeup that wavers between softness and intensity.

Two medium shades of beige blend together to create a satiny nude base. A pure, light rosewood illuminates the inner corner of the eye. A reddish brown with violet-plum shimmers makes eye makeup even more dramatic: a line drawn along the lashes in a single intense colour or with a smoky effect, creating a look that moves from innocence to seduction.

Lips

The smile lights up with shiny lipstick or scintillating gloss. Each shade of Rouge Coco Shine and Lèvres Scintillantes matches the eyeshadows and nail colours of the collection. Emotion chooses its colours, in harmony or in contrast.

Rouge Coco Shine – two semi-sheer shades grace the lips with romantic freshness, with Intime, a universal pink, and Confident, an intense rosewood. Two more striking shades with a higher concentration of pigments display assertive seduction with Viva, a raspberry shade and Aura, a deep blackcurrant with the magnetic power of attraction.

Lèvres Scintillantes – A sparkling gloss delicately illuminates the smile.

Rose Rêvé – a soft milky pink with a matching nail colour.

Secret – evokes a romantic boudoir.

Songe – with its pearly multicoloured shimmers, encompasses all the shades of the collection and is matched with the nail colour Atmosphère.

Nails

The nail colours of the collection betray every emotion to the tips of the fingers.

Secret – a soft milky pink, evokes the innocence of first promises.

Atmosphère – a pearly nail colour with unique multiple shimmers embodies the magic of love.

Orage – an anthracite grey mixed with blue, brings turbulence.

Complexion

Joues Contraste subtly expresses itself with Innocence, a warm rosewood shade. This skin embracing shade colours the cheekbones ever so slightly, like the fleeting shadow of a hidden emotion.
