Festive Makeup: A Nod to Chanel’s Elegance

At the Chanel Ready-to-Wear Fall Winter 2024/25 runway, Virginie Viard, the iconic brand’s former creative director, honoured the timeless allure of the French film “A Man and a Woman” by Claude Lelouch. The collection revisits Chanel’s 1920s roots in Deauville, weaving romantic and ethereal silhouettes with the legacy of Coco Chanel, who championed the free-spirited, independent woman with her relaxed, comfortable designs. Chanel’s essence of eternal relevance is captured perfectly in the show’s makeup—a subtle rebellion painted with delicate strokes.

Mastering the Festive Look

• FOUNDATION

Begin with the basics: cleanse and moisturize to prepare a flawless canvas. Apply a foundation and concealer duo for an even base, then bring a healthy glow to your cheeks with a swipe of blush. Dust a fine layer of powder over any oily spots to set a matte finish.

• EYES

Shape and define your eyebrows with a brush and filler to frame your face beautifully.

The standout feature of this Chanel look is the eyeliner, masterfully applied along the top lid and extended into the inner corner. And here the magic comes: work with colour on your eyes’ inner corner. As you see in the photos, choose pink, blue or yellow and don’t be afraid of colours.

Opt for the Stylo Yeux Waterproof liner in a shade that matches your outfit and mood. The palette offers everything from understated greys and blues to vibrant corals, pinks, and golds—choose your intensity.
Highlighting the inner corner offers a chic twist that ensures you’ll capture everyone’s attention.

• LIPS

For lips, choose a liner and tint that enhances the eyes, aiming for a natural finish that lets your gaze steal the spotlight. And remember, nothing complements your look better than a radiant smile, ensuring you’re absolutely breathtaking for every festive moment.
