For 2023, the CHANEL Les Beiges Summer To-Go collection captures the very essence of a radiant complexion and a healthy glow make-up look, while the brand’s Le Vernis line introduces a rich collection of 17 fab new nail polish hues. Featured in our June issue, If you're interested in recreating one of these five breathtaking looks for your wedding day, you're in luck!
Golden Goddess
For the Summer bride gold is your best friend! Keeping the skin clean, glowy and bronzed with a focus on sheer product gives that etherial highlight without feeling weighted down with product. In many ways the more minimal the look the more effect the outcome. For this look the lids are covered with CHANEL Ombre Première Laque in 22 - Rayon, A long wearing, buildable liquid eyeshadow that leaves a metallic veil on lids for an intense, mesmerising look. The beauty of a liquid shadow is the ease and workability, you can apply to the lid with nothing more than the tips of your fingers and achieve a stunning final look!
Matching the nails to your eyes can create quite the dynamic statement look, especially when playing with metallics! The fun with metallic polish is the fact that it looks gorgeous with one coat and gorgeous with three; a single, sheer coat of gold polish over a bare nail can easily give you a demure and romantic look, or you can build the opacity for a bolder, brighter finish. To match the warm gold lid, the nails have been coated with with CHANEL Le Vernis in 157 - Phénix, a vibrant warm gold polish and finished with CHANEL Le Gel Coat.
French Fantasy
When it comes to red eyes it's actually a little more complicated than you would think. It can be tricky to layer the correct tones to get a romantic cherub eye, vs looking like you have pink eye! For this look the lid is covered in CHANEL Les 4 Rouges Yeux et Joues Exclusive Creation using both 958 - Caractère, playing with the mixed reds to create depth and warmth without overwhelming the eyes. Then lined with CHANEL Stylo Yeux Waterproof in 72 - Or Rose, a long-wear eyeliner and khol pencil. Adding the pop of rose gold with the liner really ties everything together into one cohesive look, not to mention if you have blue or green eyes, it's the perfect complimentary colour to make your iris' pop!
There's no look worse than a chipped manicure; Especially with a dark polish! Picking the right top coat is extra important on your wedding day since not only will you be heavily photographed, but it's not like you're just sitting around! On such a hectic day it's very easy for your manicure to bear the brunt so you'll want to take mitigating steps, for each of these gorgeous looks the CHANEL Le Gel Coat was applied. The brands new formula high shine top coat is enriched with naturally derived camellia oil, accentuates the shine and the smooth curve of the nails, while protecting the polish for a longer-lasting hold.
Clean Chic
All good makeup looks start with a solid base, when it comes to the "My skin but better" look you can't go wrong with a tint. CHANEL Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint, the brands first fresh-water skin tint, is created with micro fluidic technology. Micro-droplets of encapsulated pigments melt into the skin on contact creating a radiant bare-skin effect. It provides a softened, smooth finish, for an even complexion that lasts all day and layers beautifully with both cream and powder products. You wont have to worry about your skin looking crazy after dancing the night away!
There are few things worse on a busy day then the feeling of dry skin, especially on your hands! Enter CHANEL La Crème Main. The perfect size to fit in a clutch, this is a must have for a whole day affair, especially one where people will be asking to look at your rings. Nourishing, beautifully scented with May rose wax and iris pallida extract and non-sticky, this gorgeous little egg will be your bestie on your wedding day!
Colour Explosion
For that perfectly soft and subtle, freshly kissed lip we used CHANEL Rouge Coco Flash in 174 - Destination, a buttery, high shine lipstick.In a stroke, it applies easily over the lips and transforms into a shiny oil for a sensation of absolute comfort. In a flash, it offers an intense high-shine result, owing to an ultra-hydrating texture and glossy oil finish, selected for its ability to reflect the light. If you're planning on playing with eye colours then pairing it with a sheer gloss or balm avoids overcrowding the face and drawing attention away from such a dramatic eye look!
So you've added a splash of colour with the eyes but kept the rest of your face relatively neutral, that doesn't mean you can't match the nails to your eye look! With a stunning shade range of 24 colours, the Le Vernis collection is the perfect choice for the beauty conscious bride that wants the ideal match for her wedding day aesthetic. Adding pastels to your nails is fun and playful and will stand out beautifully against the bright white of your wedding dress! Even if you don't want to go all out with colour, adding an accent nail on each hand with a different shade can really step up your manicure without having to mad with nail art!
Paint The Town
When it comes to playing with reds and pinks in your makeup, having the right balance of bronze and gold tones can keep you from veering into clowney territory. Finding the perfect sheer bronzer can feel like an almost impossible feat, lucky for you CHANEL's Les Beiges collection has solved that problem with their stunning bronzing cream, a velvety, cream bronzer that gives you the perfect sun-kissed glow without having to fly across the world!
For a custom nail CHANEL Le Vernis in 143 - Diva, and 147 - Incendiare, are layered to create that perfect classic red nail to match the lips. The smooth formula allows easy layering to give you that one of a kind custom colour for any look. Taking inspiration from beauty legends like Marilyn Monroe & Elizabeth Taylor, i'm obsessed with the resurgence of the lip to nail trend!
