Chanel just posted an update on their Facebook page about the new collection which includes four nail polishes and six lip glosses.
I had to check the Chanel website and it turned out that Roses Ultimate de Chanel collection was already out in the US, so let’s hope it will be in Europe soon!
Still can’t decide if I like this promo or not. Probably not.
The new LÈVRES SCINTILLANTES/ GLOSSIMER are: SURPRISE, PLAISIR, VOLUPTÉ, AMOUR, DÉSIR, JALOUSIE
As for Le VERNIS, the shades are:
Read MoreMy most embarrassing secret? I watch Gossip Girl…
Why did even start watching it? To look at the makeup and clothes!
But then I got sucked in and, although I liked only the first two seasons, I still watch it because of the beautiful makeup and clothes but now also for Chuck and Blair (can’t believe I am even writing this).
I also love Leighton Meester, she is such a beauty!
I have already written a post about Gossip Girl and Chanel Makeup but the reason why I am writing this one is to share the gorgeous makeup look Blair wore to her wedding!
I am totally in love with whole look and the details:
- the blue based glossy pink lips, such colour looks amazing on Blair, and it’s my favourite!
- pink eye shadows with the crease contouring (there is a photo below), eye liner and some natural looking false lashes; made her eyes look defined but nothing dramatic, perfect for the wedding day!
- I also like how the Make-Up Artists used the
Don’t know about you, but I LOVE looking at the makeup looks at the couture shows. And also finding out what products were used to create the look and the inspiration behind it.
I was happy to get the details about the Chanel Couture S/S 2012 and the interview with Peter Philips about it.

So here are the details about the Chanel products that were used on Nicole Kidman, Michelle Williams, Jessica Biel, Emma Stona and Shailene Woodley.
Nicole Kidman
CHANEL Celebrity Make-Up Artist Angela Levin
The inspiration for this makeup look was Nicole’s dress. Angela said, “I focused on the amazing colour and details on her dress, to create this fresh, elegant look.”
How-To:
To start the process, Angela primed Nicole’s face with CHANEL Sublimage Essential Revitalizing Concentrate and CHANEL Hydra Beauty Hydration Protection Radiance Serum. To even out the skin tone, she applied a thin layer of Senna Barely Base in Light, and then a layer of CHANEL Vitalumière Moisture-Rich Radiance Fluid Makeup SPF 15 in Ivoire.
To play up Nicole’s eyes Angela used the taupe shade in the CHANEL Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eyeshadow in Lilium all over the lids, followed by the deep green shade to define the upper lash line. She lined under the lower lash line with Face Eyeshadow in Steel, and then the lashes were finished with CHANEL Inimitable Mascara in Noir.
To complete the look Angela used CHANEL Joues Contraste Powder Blush in In Love on the cheeks and Laura Mercer Secret Brightening Powder on the cheek and brow bones. Lastly, she used CHANEL Rouge Coco Hydrating Crème Lip Colour in Superstition to achieve a neutral-lip look.

Michelle Williams
CHANEL Celebrity Make-Up Artist Angela Levin
Inspiration:
Angela created this classic beauty look on Michelle Williams, stating “my inspiration was a gorgeous Golden Globe winner!!”
How-To:
Angela started the makeup application with cleaning the skin with CHANEL Lotion Douceur Gentle Hydrating Toner using a sponge instead of cotton. She then applied a thin layer of CHANEL Ultra Correction Lift Intensive Lifting Concentrate on her face, Angels Makeup Collagen Treatment under her eyes, and placed CHANEL Sublimage La Creme Texture Supreme on her cheeks and neck.
For this red carpet makeup look Angela applied CHANEL Vitalumière Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup SPF 15 in Beige-Pastel on the face and eye lids, as a base.
On the eyes, she used the grey shadow shades from the CHANEL Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eyeshadow in Smoky Eyes to create a light smoky effect on the upper lid, then adding CHANEL Stylo Yeux Long-Lasting Eyeliner in Black Shimmer to the top lash.
Angela then defined the brows with CHANEL Crayon Sourcils Sculpting Eyebrow Pencil in Blond Clair and added two coats of CHANEL Inimitable Mascara in Noir on the top and bottom lashes.
On Michelle’s cheeks she applied CHANEL Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Rose Ecrin that gave a perfect flush, and completed the look with CHANEL Rouge Coco Hydrating Crème Lip Colour in Perle.
Jessica Biel
CHANEL Celebrity Make-Up Artist Kara
Read MoreI really loved Chanel’s Paris-Bombay Métiers d’Art collection inspired by India. I actually really liked the clothes, accessories and makeup.
And here is what Peter Philips says about the makeup:
“We wanted to create an almond-shaped black kohl eye – a graphic interpretation of an iconic Indian beauty idea. I kept the focus on the eyes, and achieved a matte pitch black make-up result by using a new shade of Illusion d’Ombre called Nirvana. I used Le Crayon Khôl in Black for the eyes and Mascara Inimitable Intense in Black on the lashes.”
So the new products are:
