Lucia Pica has created her first Make-up Cruise Collection for Chanel and it is a tribute to the way in which Gabrielle Chanel embraced summer beauty as a radiant touch of sun on skin. The collection aims to capture the beauty and warmth of a Chanel summer and encapsulate natural glamour.

The collection, named ‘Les Indispensables l’été’ distills summer beauty down to the bare essentials for an effortless look featuring bronzed glowing skin will subtle flashes of colour. The colour palette is inspired by natural landscapes, from the sun-baked earth peach and bronze to green and grey-blue accents. Everything about the collection evokes ease and freedom, with all the products comprising the lightest formulas that only require the lightest of touches and don’t involve complicated techniques. The whole feel of the collection sums up the spirit of summer; trusting in nature, relaxing and letting go.

Lucia Pica is always thoughtful, artistic and intelligent when it comes to her approach to beauty. Of the collection, she says ‘it’s a vibe really. You want to look good, but not artificial. It’s about maintaining that spirit of freedom. The collection is about deconstructed glamour. It’s about how to achieve glamour without looking or being overly complicated – this is almost like a letting go.’

The end result is to allow your true personality to shine through. Pica sums it up perfectly by saying ‘It’s about being yourself, rising above judgments or perceptions of what you should be. Gabrielle Chanel was often about courage, the courage of being herself and not conforming. I want that for women too.’
