Be inspired by the Chanel beauty looks of Autumn Winter ’13, straight from the catwalk of Paris Fashion Week.
The mood at the Chanel AW13 show was dark and eerie, with chunky biker boots, signature chain detailing and charcoal tweeds all making an appearance. The makeup however was the opposite – fresh, girly and playful with sugary pink cheeks, kissable lips and flirty metallic detail on eyes.
Here’s how to get the look this season.
The Complexion
Flawless and fresh – that’s what skin is all about for Autumn Winter, but if you can’t wait till then it’s the perfect mood for spring too. Start by covering the skin with Chanel’s Vitalumiére Aqua Ultra Light Skin Perfecting Makeup, and hold it in place with Chanel’s long lasting Poudre Universelle Libre Natural Loose Finish Powder. Finally sculpt those cheekbones and add light to the face with Chanel’s Correcteur Perfection Long Lasting Concealer.
The Eyes
This look is certainly not for wallflowers thanks to the 3D layers of metallic colour built up on the models’ lash line. There was a strong 60s vibe running through the look and whilst it may not be ideal for the office or to run to the shops, it’s the perfect party look to work this season. For brows, add the Cara effect and make them bold an brave. Chanel’s Les 4 Omres Quadra Eyeshadow in Prélude is the must-have eye makeup product for attaining this look, and it looks just as good propped on your dressing table as it does on your lids.
The Cheeks
Keep cheeks pink and rosy with Le Blush Crème de Chanel in Inspiration. Apply to the apples of the cheek for a girlish, healthy look.
The Lips
The eyes are the feature of this look so ensure they stay statement by keeping the lips played down. Use a sheer Chanel Lipshine with just a hint of colour to keep your pout looking plump and kissable, whilst the eyes take center stage.
The Nails
Each season there’s a Chanel’s Les Vernis nail colour that sells out. We’re predicting next season’s It colour to be this gorgeously girly pink shade named Elixir.
