Found It! Hailee Steinfeld’s Persimmon Lipstick From the CFDA Awards

Jun 4, 2013 @ 12:31 pm

At first glance, Hailee Steinfeld‘s lipstick from last night’s CFDA Awards may look like a cross between tangerine and coral, but it’s actually a closer match to the persimmon fruit. “It’s more playful, fun, and less formal than the classic red,” Steinfeld’s makeup artist Nick Barose told us. “To complement her Suno dress, I used my favorite summer color, persimmon for her lips.” Barose picked Chanel‘s Rouge Allure Lipstick in Excentrique on the star, and by coincidence, Steinfeld’s hue also matched the red carpet’s color palette. “I swear I didn’t get the memo—great minds just think alike!” Barose joked. He applied the color straight from the tube, then cleaned up around the edges using a cotton swab. Pick up a tube for $34 at chanel.com.

Found It! Rose Byrne’s Metallic Shadow From The Internship Premiere

May 31, 2013 @ 7:30 am

We loved Rose Byrne‘s delicate Emilio Pucci dress from the Los Angeles premiere of The Internship—so much that we named her our Look of the Day—and especially how her soft metallic shadow and smoky eyeliner gave the ensemble a sexy edge. “Rose’s dress was so sophisticated yet sweet, so I wanted the makeup to be a little bit on the tougher side,” said her makeup artist Monika Blunder. “My inspiration was a Kate Moss look, a rimmed black eye to create a smudgy, smoldering effect.” Here’s how she created it:

1. BRONZE SHADOW
Blunder used the Chanel Quadra palette in Premier Regard ($59; chanel.com). She swept the bronze shade all over the star’s lids, then blended the dark black shadow onto the outer corners of Byrne’s eyes.

2. ADD SOME LINER
Of course, no Kate Moss look is complete without the model’s trademark liner, so Blunder defined Byrne’s upper and lower lash lines using Chanel’s Waterproof Eyeliner in Black Shimmer ($30 at chanel.com).

3. THE FINISHING TOUCH
She then finished with a generous amount of Le Volume de Chanel Mascara in Noir ($30 each; chanel.com).

May 29, 2013 @ 4:15 pm

Manicure trends come and go, but among all the intricate nail art and speckled lacquers, Chanel is singing praises for the staple hues that never go out of style—to the tune of New Order’s “Bizarre Love Triangle,” at that. This week, the label posted a video showcasing the Couleurs Culte de Chanel, the brand’s five nail polishes that have quickly become classics. The shades look just as chic animated and dancing to the New Order tune as they do on our digits. Between the true red (Pirate), trendy greige (Particuliere), and inky burgundy (Rouge Noir), there’s a lacquer to suit every taste. Check out the colors in the clip above, then shop your favorite shade ($27 each) at chanel.com.

Found It! Naomi Watts’ Raspberry Lipstick by Chanel

May 21, 2013 @ 1:30 pm

With a très chic atmosphere like the Cannes film festival, Naomi Watts‘ makeup artist Georgie Eisdell didn’t have to look far for inspiration. “I wanted to keep her makeup fresh with a little French influence,” she said on the star’s makeup from the For the Love of Cinema premiere. “Her lips were the main focus of this look.” Eisdell drew upon the red florals in Watts’ Dolce & Gabbana number and chose Chanel‘s Rouge Allure Velvet Matte Lip Color in La Sensuelle, a crimson-berry hybrid. Pick up a tube for $34 at chanel.com.

How to Look Like Gwyneth Paltrow for $30

Apr 27, 2013 @ 2:00 pm

When we weren’t looking at Gwyneth Paltrow‘s see-through ensemble at the Iron Man 3 premiere, we couldn’t help but notice the glowing makeup and subtle blush lip gloss the world’s most beautiful woman had chosen to complete her look. The color amped up the natural tone of her lips and gave off a shiny finish. “My inspiration for Gwyneth’s look was the Earth,” said her makeup artist Angela Levin. “She reminds me of the things I love about our world—she’s an inspiration to women and people.” To keep in line with the organic feel of Paltrow’s makeup, Levin opted for Chanel’s Glossimer in Rose Sauvage. The sheer petal hue is part of the label’s new summer lineup, and looks gorgeous layered over natural lips and vivid shades alike. Find the product for $30 at chanel.com.

Get Kristen Stewart’s Pretty Purple Manicure: The Exact Color She Wore to the Kids’ Choice Awards

Mar 25, 2013 @ 12:40 pm

Kristen Stewart chose a fun, printed ensemble by Osman for the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards this weekend, and her manicurist Ashlie Johnson played off of the deep tones of the look to inspire Stewart’s metallic eggplant nails. “Her outfit was this gorgeous purple-blue that looks different depending on the light and angle, just like the nail color,” said Johnson, who chose Chanel’s Le Vernis in Taboo ($27 at chanel.com), a gorgeous new violet shade that has a shimmer of red. And Johnson also offered a tip to prevent any manicure mishaps—like last-minute smudges. “Apply a thin layer of cuticle oil on top of the color,” advised Johnson, who has also painted the famous fingers of Naomi Watts and Rooney Mara. “If you bump one of your nails on the way out, it won’t dent the polish.” Great tip!
