The Chanel Makeup Creation Studio has collaborated with Cécile Paravina of the Cometes Collective, to design the Camélia Futura Makeup Collection.
The camellia flower is an inspiration for the brand, which already has a skincare line inspired by its beauty. This makeup collection, however, takes inspiration from the camélia’s shapely, almost geometrical, curves to create dreamlike products with futuristic charm.
“There is something very soft and gentle about the camellia’s aesthetic… which is particularly surprising when you know that it is actually a very hardy plant that adapts and manages to flower even in extreme conditions. This duality is the basis for the collection, marrying soft, romantic qualities with colder, more futuristic and modern codes.” Says Cecile Paravina, Chanel Global Creative Makeup Partner.
The Camélia Futura Makeup Collection is a line of products featuring metallic accents, multi-faceted shimmer and a blend of avant-garde and romantic styles. The products come in eye-catching shades and are designed to be incredibly easy to work with, making them appealing to all women.
At the heart of the collection is the Camélia Futura Exclusive Creation, embossed with hand-sewn camellias. A true colour odyssey, this blush trio shifts from tender pink to apricot in a gradation of ethereal hues. Cécile Paravina adds a hint of iridescent light to the complexion with an exclusive shade of Fluide Enlumineur, a soft pink with a green shimmer.
For eyes, the Les 4 Ombres Utopia palette features four eyeshadow shades created with resplendent pearly particles, designed to embellish the eyes with a sublime, practically futuristic glow. The Stylo Ombre et Contour come in four deep matte shades with a pearlescent shimmer that will catch the light with every blink of the eye.
In lips, two shades of Rouge Coco Flash make the lips shine: a peach with golden pearlescence and pink with hints of lilac blue. Their shimmery finish adds a touch of light and a modern feel to the lip look. And two shades of Rouge Allure Laque also capture the spirit of the collection. A deep, rosy peach and a hot pink with metallic shimmer, made all the more spectacular by its colour-shifting shine.
And finally, in nails, two new shimmery shades of Le Vernis put the finishing touch on looks created with this collection: a glittering mauve grey and a semi-sheer pink with fine pearlescent particles. They reflect the avant-garde take on romanticism that underpins the entire collection.
