MANILA, Philippines - Chanel’s spring collection, Rèverie Parisienne, is inspired by springtime in Paris — when the city’s gardens revive and bloom afresh. Chanel Makeup Creation Studio interprets a palette of contrasting shades, touched with delicate or vibrant notes.
Fresh, bright colors blossom like a bouquet with endless shades of pink and coral. The smile is the center of attention: tender or sophisticated, but always radiant. Orange and fuchsia lipsticks and glosses rival each other in intensity. Delicate eyes dress up in pastel shadows illuminated with ivory and sculpted with an elegant slate gray note. Jardin de Chanel, the Exclusive Creation of the collection, beautifies the complexion with the rosy shimmers of an evanescent silky powder. A nail color trio prolongs the contrasting sensations of a springtime stroll — a soft rosewood, an energetic fuchsia and a pure, delicate green with metallic shimmers.

Skin: Jardin de Chanel
Spring naturally makes the cheeks long for the great outdoors. The light air, laden with scent, and the first rays of sunlight color the cheeks with freshness. Jardin de Chanel is a blush with irresistible charm, a duo of delicate and more intense pinks, to sweep over the skin like a springtime breeze. The black lacquered case highlights a delicate powder and reveals a raised camellia motif on the powder surface. For this Exclusive Creation, the favorite flower of Gabrielle Chanel is stylised to play with contours that exalt its harmony and purity.
Eyes: Les 4 Ombres
Tissé Fantaisie is a rosy coral and a golden iridescent sea green creates angelic eyes, illuminated with a touch of satiny white and sculpted with an intense brown with coppery shimmers. Tissé Paris is slate gray with a duo of subtle and intense rosewoods that melts over the eyelid in a delicate halo. A sheer ivory tone adds a touch of radiance to light up the eyes.
Like a bouquet of spring flowers, the vibrant and delicate notes compose a harmony of shades with bucolic charm.
Blush: Jouse Contraste
On a pure complexion that glows with freshness, a light coral note tinges the cheekbones with Joues Contraste Angélique.
Nails: Le Vernis
Nail color is reminiscent of the colors of spring. Tenderly is a plum-tinged rosewood that offers a natural look in a soft breeze.?Désirio is an intense fuchsia pink gives a jolt to every color in that collection. It is coordinated with Rouge Allure Velvet La Romanesque. Paradiso is very delicate and pearly green for a dazzling manicure.
Lips: Rouge Allure Velvet
Colorful intesity captured in a velvet texture that is both matte and luminous, Rouge Allure Velvet is a flattering accent to a pure and natural complexion. Two daring shades electrify a summer smile: La Pétillante is an intense and sensual coral red, and La Romanesque is an elegant deep plum, accentuated with fuchsia.
