Pretty in Jade Rose by Gorunway.com
The print effect eye make-up at Chanel’s Fall 2010/11 show may be tricky to pull off in real life. But underpinning the look (inspired by, ‘a paint, print texture that Karl used on some of the handbags and shoes for this show,’ says Chanel’s make-up guru, Peter Philips) are several failsafe, beauty tricks that work marvels off the catwalk. They’re also central to Peter Philips’ Fall make-up collection.
First, blusher. Applied to the cheek’s apple it lifts your complexion in seconds. Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Rose Temptation is one of three, brilliant new hues and gives the kind of skin-kick you can see in this backstage shot. It adds a pop of colour to all but the darkest skin tones and its rose scent, which is in all of the blushers, is just lovely.
Second, nude eyeliner. Especially useful if you suffer from red eyes. Apply to the inner rim to neutralise and give tired eyes a very subtle lift. It’s a make-up artist trick, so no wonder Philips has introduced Le Crayon Khol in Clair.
Third, a good eyeshadow palette for smokey eyes. I’ve yet to meet a woman who doesn’t want to know how to do good smoke. Chanel’s new four-colour eye shadow, Les 4 Ombres in Enigma does it in spades.
A pale lipstick that flatters. Perfect with the smoked, greys of the eye shadow: Rouge Coco in Chintz (a pale peach, see below) and Rose Dentelle (pinkish nude). Available 13th August, call 020 7493 3836.
