Chanel Sings the Blues with Captivating Fall Beauty Collection

Eye Quartet

The LES 4 OMBRES, just like in music, is the most important part of the orchestra. They must blend together perfectly. These pure pigments include vibrant turquoise, midnight blue, seductive black and bright white. Also featured is Tissé Jazz which hums a gray melody and Tissé Smoky is a classic black. You can mix and match these to come up with your favorite combination but my absolute favorite is the midnight blue featured on the model.

Soloist

What makes a soloist so special? The difference is in style and unique sound. OMBRE ESSENTIELLE Swing is a smoldering starry blue that changes based on lighting. OMBRE ESSENTIELLE Midnight is a luminous matte with a mesmerizing evening look sprinkled with silver.

Sensational Chorus

Even though it’s subtle, what is an orchestra without its chorus? A dash of purple ILLUSION D’OMBRE reinvents itself in a velvet version. ILLUSION D’OMBRE VELVET Melody has a creamy golden beige base that dries into a powder effect which is perfectly matte and silky on the skin that it brings to life understated shades. As the sun sets, ILLUSION D’OMBRE Mystério has a platinum mysterious metallic accent in a creamy formula.

Virtuoso Blue

One line, just like one note, can change the whole feel of a look or song. STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF Perle de Lune creates a silver lining for a sensual look, while the shimmery metallic dark indigo of the LIGNE GRAPHIQUE Dream Blue eyeliner enhances eyes in one step. The classic Noir-Noir is perfect for a smoky eye. I love mixing and matching LE VOLUME Ultra-Noir and Blue Night mascaras for more intensity.

Turquoise Improvisation

For an intense pop, finish off the tips of lashes with a turquoise blue mascara CILS SCINTILLANTS in Jazzy Blue.

Lashes step up the tone

LE VOLUME ULTRA-NOIR DE CHANEL sets the tone with dramatic long lashes. Using natural waxes which include acacia gum, this luxurious mascara builds instant volume while also creating curl. Its exclusive patented brush curves leave not a single eyelash untouched. Its long rigid bristles coat and thicken, while its short supple bristles fill out and define maximum lengths with the blackest of pigments. Eyes look wide open and vibrant.

LE VOLUME Blue Night adds extra drama with a pop of blue, accentuating the color of the iris which accentuates Middle Eastern eyes like never before.

Lips with high-volume voltage

Although the lips are bare, doesn't mean they are left unnoticed. GLOSS VOLUME's crystalline formula concentrated with light boosts of volume accentuates the natural color of the lips. The oils and antioxidant Vitamin E derivative treat the lips with endless hydration keeping them plumped and smooth for hours.

Nails 

Last but not least, the fingertips. After the dark blue eyeshadow, this is my absolute must have item in this collection. LE VERNIS' color Fortissimo is a deep navy blue and if you are looking for something more vibrant, Vibrato makes for a bold choice.

Nothing makes brown eyes and dark hair stand out like something blue. As seductive as black but with an extra powerful edge, blue is one of the richest colors, not only in fashion but also in makeup, therefore making it the perfect instrument in Chanel's new fall beauty collection. 
 

For Chanel, blue was likened to jazz and hence the name BLUE RHYTHM,  a collection composed by CHANEL Makeup Creation Studio through the notion of differing sound levels. Between the eyes and lips, Chanel balanced it as though it was a music sheet. Dramatic lashes set the tone using LE VOLUME ULTRANOIR DE CHANEL mascara. This is leveled off with softer bare lips with GLOSS VOLUME. The rhythm speeds up as color takes center stage. LES 4 OMBRES shadows blend together in a bold on-trend look. Finally the nails amplify the bold blues with a midnight tone. Like creating an orchestra in your makeup bag, each product becomes an instrument and once all played together create a daring masterpiece.
