Makeup how to: pink & punk at Chanel Cruise 2013.

It was Marie Antoinette gone punk when Chanel’s Cruise 2012/2013 collection sailed down the runway at the Palace of Versailles. But it wasn’t just the clothes that were bold and candy-coloured: angular bobs were supported by a strong make-up look dominated by the colour pink. After the break: an in-depth look at recreating (and adapting) this look for yourself.

Skin

Creative Director of Chanel makeup, Peter Philips, didn’t want to create a “historic canvas” on the models’ faces, considering other heavy elements of the look.

His make-up team used Vitalumiere Moisture-Rich Radiance Fluid Makeup SPF 15 as the base, concealed visible blemishes with Correcteur Perfection Long Lasting Concealer and finished the look with a loose powder, Poudre Universelle Libre Natural Finish on the day of the show.

The eyes step-by-step:

1. Pick an eyeshadow that’s of a creamy texture, as they’re easy to apply on the lid. This Chanel eyeshadow shade is a shimmery mousse, so it applies really easily.
2. Apply an eye primer to the entire lid, so it can hold the strong colour in place.
3. Start with swiping the colour along the top lash line with an eyeshadow brush. Work the product over the lid in a diagonally upward motion into the crease and then take it up to the brow.
4. Blending is the key here, so imagine as though you’re painting the top lid of your eye. Use more produce for more intensity and pigmentation.
5. If you want to imitate the exact runway look, brush a little product upwards through the brow. Otherwise stop about 5mm under the brow.
6. Finish up by adding some eyeshadow under the eye – keep it concentrated under the iris. You can also apply a white eye pencil to the waterline, to make the eyes appear more alive.
7. Use an eyelash curler to simply define the lashes and curl them, but don’t use any product on them. It’s all about the lids here.

Cheeks

For Chanel Cruise 2013, the make-up look is all about the eyes and the cheeks, as they narrate the entire beauty story for the collection. Using the Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Rose Pétale shade, Philips adds definition to the cheeks for this look.

You don’t need a bronzer or highlighter for this, as you can use a powder blush to create an illusion of architectural cheekbones. However, if you’re using a cream blush, remember to blend it in really well, and all the way till the hairline; you don’t want any blotches.
