“Ideal makeup should have a light tone, eyelashes and eyebrows. Lips can be accentuated with translucent or semi-matte lipstick."
Foundation Vitalumiere Aqua, Chanel
The best way to refresh makeup is a well-chosen foundation - by updating it after a couple of hours, you will not get the effect of plaster on your face. This cream contains a lot of water. Gives a semi-matte, semi-luminous finish and blends well. Remember: the more water in the formula, the better for dry skin - the cream will not accentuate peeling. This is important for our region and climate.
Price: 3 500 rub.
Foundation Sublimage Le Teint, Chanel
Denser Vitalumiere Aqua. I love it because it works both as a care and as a toning cream. It contains active vanilla water, biosaccharide, phytosqualene and glycerin for moisturizing. Creates a "second skin" effect - the face after it shines and looks healthy. I like the texture - talcum powder is crushed so hard that the product is very mobile and mimic wrinkles are not clogged.
Price: 10 095 rub.
Blush Joues Contraste, Chanel
Blush is an indicator of health, therefore it is always important in makeup. This is a compact baked blush. Not matte - it contains shiny particles that refresh the face. The pigment seems to stick into the skin, it glows from the inside and looks rested.
Price: 3 199 rub.
Mascara Le Volume, Chanel
Perfectly layering - when you need to renew your makeup after 6 hours, you won't have to wash off mascara. If I need to slightly emphasize the lashes, I apply in one layer. If you need to make them very expressive - a few.
It delicately works with each type of eyelash - if it is long and liquid, it will not make three sticks sticking together from them, but will gently separate and give volume.
When it was presented two years ago, we had a session for journalists - everyone was testing ink. Applied to only one eye to show the difference. My task was to distribute the mascara with the exact brush that Le Volume has, not a brush. About 22 people passed the test, everyone has different eyelashes, but the product worked for everyone. I also like it when the mascara dries up a little - a week or two after the start of use.
Price: 2 545 rub.
Lipstick Rouge Allure Ink, Chanel
Achieving a perfectly matte texture often requires the sacrifice of comfort, something that Chanel cannot afford. We have released a semi-matte Rouge Allure Ink, which contains caring components - jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, vitamin E. The products contain moisture, therefore, when light is refracted, a volume effect is created even on not very plump lips. Emphasizes their texture - as if poured into a mold. The texture is damp when applied, then the product dries and holds firmly.
Price: 2 665 rub.
Lipstick Rouge Coco Shine, Chanel
Lipstick for the lazy - no pencil required and easy to apply.
Translucent - goes well with the individual lip color: we do not just overlap it, but on the contrary emphasize it. The same lipstick on different lips will look different. I also love for a large range of shades - there are more than 20 of them.
Price: 2 599 rub.
Set for eyebrow makeup Sourcils De Chanel, Chanel
Translucent coating - sets off the shape of the eyebrows, without changing it, but emphasizing it. The right range of products - grayish shades of eyeshadows look natural. The color of the eyebrows is matched to the natural shade of the hair, even if yours is dyed. You must preserve the harmony that nature invented. Remember, blondes have a weird brown eyebrow.
Price: 3 499 rub.
