Soft, seductive, and unapologetically powerful, this date night calls for a makeup look that rewrites the rules of romance. Think flushed skin with a luminous glow, eyes defined with confident intensity, and lips that speak before you do. A modern expression of love – delicate yet daring, polished yet provocative – designed for those who believe beauty should feel as powerful as it looks.

Let us guide you step by step to achieve this bold yet romantic look:

- Begin by applying your skincare routine on a clean face to create a smooth, hydrated base. For extra longevity – especially in challenging weather – apply a primer to keep everything perfectly in place.

- Apply your favorite foundation evenly across the face, then conceal under the eyes and any areas that need extra coverage.

- Define the brows with hair-like strokes, then set them using a brow mascara, brushing the hairs upward for a soft, feathery finish.

- Now for the eyes: using CHANEL’s Rouge Noir Confidence Eyeshadow and Blush Palette, apply the pearly rosy-white shade as a base on the moving lid. Trace the magenta hue along the upper and lower lash lines for a statement effect, then deepen the outer corners with the sienna red shade to create a bold cat-eye shape.

- Intensify the look with CHANEL’s Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner in Rouge Noir, drawing a cat-eye line close to the lash base and softly blending it with your fingertips.

- Finish the eyes with a few coats of CHANEL’s NOIR ALLURE Mascara to dramatically accentuate the lashes.

- Dress the lips in CHANEL’s ROUGE ALLURE LAQUE in 63 Ultimate, an intense rosewood shade that perfectly balances the bold eye look.

- For the cheeks, either skip blush and let the eyes take center stage, or softly sweep the sienna red with pink shimmer and the mauve pink shades from the same palette for a subtle flush.

- Complete the look with a final touch of the pearly rosy-white highlighter from CHANEL’s Rouge Noir Confidence Eyeshadow and Blush Palette – because a little extra glow is always a good idea!
