Sandra‘s Closet

Colors leave their own unique mark on a style, an era. For CHANEL, they form a playful language that weaves a common thread through the various mediums of creation. This season, CHANEL is redefining its aesthetic codes: monochrome, the bold art of the all-over look, and audacious twists that unabashedly produce unexpected harmonies.

TWIN SETS, COLOR-BLOCKING, OR MIXING-AND-MATCHING…

No combination is off-limits, and the idea of giving carte blanche to create technicolor makeup looks is what led the CHANEL Makeup Creation Studio and Cometes Collective member Ammy Drammeh to design the S/S 2025 COLLECTION. In this sparkling, playful collection, lively colors cheerfully clash with one another or smoothly combine in a tone-on-tone look. Ever unpredictable, these daring shades are the expression of a timeless style that is invariably chic and refined.

The looks from the collection lend themselves to intuitive experimentation and endless customization thanks to interchangeable color combinations, which were designed to complement one another in the form of a flat wash of color, a halo, or a simple line.

STYLE COMES IN PAIRS
OMBRE ESSENTIELLE – CHF 50.00 / STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF CHF 39.00

The entire SPRING-SUMMER 2025 COLLECTION is structured around four color palettes, uniting the concepts of color-blocking and mixing-and-matching in a true ode to early spring. Each twin set, featuring an OMBRE ESSENTIELLE eyeshadow and STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF eyeliner, comprises a tone-on-tone duo that plays with different finishes.

Today’s post is dedicated to the beautiful Chanel Resort 2013 makeup look “Versailles de Chanel”. (For photos of the runway show that took place one week ago at the Bosquet des Trois Fontaines at the Château de Versailles, please click here.)

Generally speaking, pink eyes are not easy to pull off. Well, unless you are Peter Philips, Creative Director for Chanel Makeup. He makes pink eyes covetable as an everyday look with less mascara and an all over pink eyeshadow.

In a little interview, he gave further details on the look: “The makeup is inspired by the theme of the collection: Versailles. It’s a ‘pink’ makeup, between “girly” and “rebel”. I used “Ombre Essentielle-Rose Favorite” on the eyelids and “Joues Contraste – Rose Pétale” as a blusher.

Beige Khol liner ‘Clair’ in the eyes and I slightly enhanced the eyebrows. I kept the skin natural, to avoid the makeup from looking historical. Soft, pinkish lips I achieved by applying “Rouge Coco Shine – Evasion” and I topped the makeup off by placing a black velvet Chanel logo as a beauty spot on either the left or right side of the face (high on the cheekbones, under the eye). Last minute I added a subtle highlight with “Mouche de Beauté” a compact highlight powder.

The eyeshadow, highlight powder and velvet CC’s were created especially for this show.”
