Chanel 2010 Spring Colour Collection – LES IMPRESSIONS DES CHANEL
Inspired by marks and imprints left behind during the life of Mademoiselle Coco Chanel, Peter Philips, global creative director of Chanel make-up, has created a timeless collection capturing the brand’s elegant signature style and classic allure.
From an imprint of Gabrielle Chanel’s hand on a sheet of paper to various representations of her portrait, morsels of her timeline have been infused into the new range to portray a look of gentle illumination and soft eyes. Femininity is celebrated with a fresh complexion and highlighted cheekbones in a look that encompasses all that Mademoiselle Chanel represented.
The palette pays most notable homage to beige – the shade of choice in so many of Coco Chanel’s clothing lines. Natural, muted shades arrive on the lips in delicate daubs of pink and brown, while eyes are subtly emphasised in metallic plum, satin vanilla and caramel.
