I actually love that Chanel is releasing collections with special products that were used for the runway looks. This is a real treat for the brand’s fans.

I love getting the details about the  products that were used to create a celebrity’s ( I like) makeup look. So I was was excited to get the details about Keira Knightley’s look for the  premiere of Anna Karenina which was yesterday, September 4th.

I also love the fact that this look was created by Lisa (Eldridge) whom, as you definitely know by now, I love.

I have already posted a preview of this collection and the makeup that was created with it for  the Chanel Haute Couture Spring Summer 2012 Show. So here are the details…

On eyelids, ILLUSION D’OMBRE takes on a scintillating and satiny effect that makes eye makeup glow with each bat of the lashes. Two airy shades of grey blue, one pale, DESTINATION, and the other more intense, APPARITION, adapt to all faces. Eyeshadows are applied according to inspiration: in sheer washes or deep colour blocks, in monochrome or gradations.

Mascara-laden lashes accentuate the graphic tracing of the eye contour with a sophisticated note. LE CRAYON YEUX BLEU AÉRIEN borders the eyelids with an
