The Chanel Ombre Essentielle Collection is Here + More Beauty News
Plus, Charlotte Tilbury debuts fragrances.
The Chanel Ombre Essentielle Collection is all about playing with colour on the eyes
Chanel’s new Ombre Essentielle Collection takes inspiration from the French fashion house’s rich heritage. Working closely with the Chanel Makeup Creation studio, Cometes Collective member Cécile Paravina formulated 14 pigment-packed eyeshadows that can be worn along the lashline, eyelids or brows — and paired with one of three new Noir Allure Mascaras from the collection.
“Colour is the most direct way to express an abstract and complex message,” shares Paravina in a press statement. “Keeping to just one makeup colour ensures that the message lands with even more impact.” Speaking of colour, Paravina creatively tied in elements of Chanel’s iconic colour palettes to ensure that each shade paid homage to the brand’s history. The Gris Paris shade, for example, is a nod to the colour of Parisian rooftops, and Coco Chanel’s origin. Très chic, non?
