Chanel Beauty
When the weather is hot and humid, wearing a full face of makeup that will inevitably melt off isn’t appealing. I usually opt for sunscreen, tinted lip balm, and a touch of eyeliner if I’m feeling extra. However, Chanel’s latest beauty launch might make us rethink our minimalistic summer makeup approach. Summer is all about vibrant butterflies, flowers, and fruits, elements that can easily inspire our lips, eyes, and cheeks.
The new collection, aptly named Jardin Imaginaire, is boldly vibrant. Creator Ammy Drammeh describes it as a “bridge between reality and fiction,” drawing inspiration from technicolor fairy tales, magical forests, and meadows. The colors of each product invite us to immerse ourselves in this dreamlike world. For those who are usually hesitant with makeup, the bright shades might seem daunting, but each product is buildable, allowing you to start subtly and intensify as desired.
The eyeshadow and contour pens come in shades of orange, bronze, metallic pink, ultraviolet, baby blue, and soft green, with a creamy formula designed to blend effortlessly into warm skin. Blush and highlight duos in peach and berry promise to keep you glowing and sun-kissed, whether you’re at the beach or wandering through a rose garden. And don’t forget your nails! With sandal season upon us, your toes will be on display. The shimmering nail polishes come in metallic green, pearlescent rose, and rich brown, each echoing elements of a lush forest.
For additional inspiration, look no further than Lily-Rose Depp. She sports a smudged green eyeshadow on her lids, complemented by a more defined yet still soft purple on her waterline. The rest of her makeup is peachy and natural, providing the perfect backdrop for her bold eyes. Now you have the ideal reason to refresh your summer look with a touch of peach, a hint of gold, and a dash of green.
