CHANEL Fall 2008 Makeup Collection:

For his premiere collection, Peter Philips, the new Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, took inspiration from Mademoiselle Chanel’s legendary apartment on Rue Cambon. There, decorative elements with rich, reflective surfaces – among them, an elegant mirror luxuriously framed in gold – ignited Philips’s imagination. The result: An exquisite colour collection of shimmering tones designed to warm and flatter skin. Glowing with luminosity, eyes, cheeks and lips are mesmerizing.

This sheer whisper of finely milled golden powder brings a delicate sheer glow to the complexion, gently illuminating the curve of the cheek or bringing subtle allover radiance to the face.
