For Summer, the CHANEL Makeup Creation studio looked to the pretty pastel tweeds that Gabrielle Chanel loved for the season. Inspired by whimsy, lightness, and softness the Délices Pastel de CHANEL collection is downright happy. With its lush and sweet pastel hues, it will utterly charm you.
For the face, there is the gorgeous collection exclusive FANTAISIE DE CHANEL. This stunning Illuminating Powder is done in a satiny peachy pink called PASTEL FUSCHIA and gives a bright, fresh complexion. The compact is done in a tie-dye pattern with fuchsia accents and features an embossed double C emblem that stands out against the fabric-like design. The highly versatile BAUME ESSENTIEL is done in DRAGÉE, a delicate pink, and LILAS, a fresh lilac. I love using this multiuse crème stick as a highlighter, on the cheeks, eyelids, and even lips. It’s also ideal to pack in your makeup bag when you travel since it can be used in so many ways. Truly a perfect summer staple!
For eyes, there is the collection exclusive LES 4 OMBRES DÉLICES which features a slightly pale, satiny purple, a matte powder pink, a matte brownish mauve and a pearly, tangy pastel yellow. These limited-edition quads are always highly sought after and rightly so. Not only do they contain beautiful colors that pair perfectly, but they also typically have a unique embossing on them that honors the theme and inspiration behind the collection. Additionally, there are three tones of the STYLO SOURCILS WATERPROOF in Brun Taupe, Brun Rouge, and Brun Noir that will keep your brows in order even during a day at the pool or beach. The much beloved STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF is done in Cassis, a gorgeous matte blackcurrant.
Lest we forget the lips, there are five gorgeous and wearable options. The super nourishing ROUGE COCO BAUME comes in three beautiful shades that are the perfect finishing touch to any summer makeup look. Light and fresh, there is Pink Delight, a tender pink, Sweet Treat, a brownish mauve, and Dreamy White, a sheer pearlescent white. For those wanting a bolder look, there are two striking ROUGE ALLURE INK options. Gourmandise, a slightly brownish rosewood, and Tentation, a fresh dusty red.
