Chanel’s New Look: Electric Blue Makeup

May 14, 2013 @ 1:50 pm

Karl Lagerfeld presented his resort collection for Chanel in Singapore last week. The lineup revolved around the classic color palette of black, white, and navy, but it was the eyes where you saw color pop off the runway. Chanel’s contributing makeup artist Peter Philips created the electric look—thanks to Chanel’s Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner in True Blue—which lit up the eyes against an otherwise fresh, clean face. He finished it off by lining top lids with Noir Intense, a black hue, and swiped on several coats of Chanel’s Inimitable Waterproof Mascara in Noir. Daring enough to try the look yourself? Shop the neon color for $30 at nordstrom.com.

May 8, 2013 @ 1:15 pm

The wait is almost over! Last April, Marc Jacobs announced that he was expanding his beauty empire with the addition of color cosmetics, and now, you can officially save the date for August 9. Jacobs broke the news with an Instagram shot of the line’s website, which features a clock counting down to the big day. Judging from the lacquers we previewed at Fashion Week, and Sofia Coppola’s Met Ball look using the makeup, the range is shaping up to be as big of a hit as the designer’s fragrance catalog.
