Chanel is launching a limited edition fast-tracked makeup collection, Blue Illusion de Chanel, this Sunday 5th August! The collection debuted at the Spring Summer Haute Couture 2012 show earlier in the year.
Peter Philips Creative Director of CHANEL Makeupborrows the intangible hues of summer blue. Like a cloud-strewn sky, eyes take up shimmering reflection that change with the light. He said,
“For the SS 2012 Haute Couture Show I chose to focus on the eyes and to add a touch of pearl on the nails. The brief was: blue! In combination with the ‘hair statements’, the most flattering and contemporary solution for the models was to have a simple kohl-eye look, but instead of black kohl, I created a ‘blue-khol’.
Le Crayon Yeux ‘Bleu Aérien’ is a new intense blue eye pencil that I applied to contour the eyes. I also created two new ‘Illusion d’Ombre ‘ shades The shade ‘Apparition’ is an intense, greyish blue that I applied on top of the eye pencil, fading out towards the outer corner of the eye, and ‘Destination ‘ is a pale, silvery satin blue that I used on the inner corner of the eye and very moderately under the eyebrow.
I finished the look with black mascara Inimitable Intense ‘Black’ and a deep blue line in the eye with the Le Crayon Khôl ‘Marine’. For the nails I created a pale pearl blue shade called Le Vernis ‘Sky Line’. It’s a beautiful, easy to apply, pearly (on the edge of metallic) shade that matched perfectly with the range of blues that Karl used for this Haute Couture Collection.”
