Chanel Couture SS18 Beauty

THIS week the Chanel SS18 haute couture show took place at the Grand Palais, Paris with the space transformed into an idyllic French-style garden, with rose bushes and a green lawn surrounding a water fountain centrepiece. Beneath the trellis, models including Kaia Gerber – in her first couture debut – appeared on the runway dressed in tweeds, tulle and chiffon.

As with all Lagerfeld shows, hair and make-up is crucial to the head-to-toe Chanel creation. For SS18 femininity and fresh faces were key. Brushed-up brows were paired with a gentle palette of pinks, peaches and coral. Schoolgirl ponytails were tied neatly beneath Sam Mcknight’s beautifully crafted floral headpieces and black tulle vails. The flower girls were certainly spring wedding-ready.

But how so beautiful? As every lady knows, when it comes to a flawless face, preparation is key. A combination of Hydra Beauty Micro Gel Yeux, Hydra Beauty Micro Serum and La Solution 10 de Chanel prepped the faces of the Chanel cast. The Neapolis SS18 collection created by Chanel’s Lucia Pica featured heavily in the runway looks.

Cheeks wore Joues Contrast powder blush in Foschia Rosa N°430; while pouts were doused in Rouge Allure – Incantevole N°182 and coated with Rouge Coco gloss in Poppea N°794; eyelids were shaded with all hues of pink and lashes kept natural.
