"Based on the notion that elegance and beauty should be simple and enjoyable, Gabrielle Chanel created a style: a clear ideal of femininity that resolves all paradoxes. The silhouette is simplified to only the essentials, with refined details and a joyful sparkle of colour. It was the discovery of an old photograph, with an unusual yet sublime brooch set with amethysts and placed on rough fabric, that inspired a contrasting springtime collection.
Peter Philips, Creative Director of Chanel Make Up, interprets the unique combination of precision and playfulness, enhancing the elegance of natural shades with a few precious touches. Ingenuous eyes and a soft complexion turn the attention to nails and lips, which celebrate spring in an explosion of colour. Refined beige and brown shades are lightly swept over eyelids for a natural effect or applied more intensely to accentuate the seductive power of the eyes."

Delicate, pretty colours - pinks, soft nudes and browns - are ideal for spring. The exclusive product of this collection is the Poudre Signe de Chanel (see second product photo). It is a silky highlighting face powder that brightens and illuminates - a dreamy, hard-to-resist product that I expect great things from (though, who knows, I may find it too pretty to use!).
The Chanel Spring Make Up Collection: Printemps Precieux de Chanel will be available from Chanel counters from 18th January.
