Mother Nature seems to be giving us a Fall preview. Staff figured we’d go with it and take a peek at a selection of Chanel’s Fall 2012 makeup collection. It’s not one of her worst ideas, so…
The look: polished and defined. Love the nail colour — it’s almost black, with an undertone of red shimmer.
The archive-worthy item is a limited-edition sequin-imprinted Chanel Lumière d’Artifices in Beiges ($75). Light and dark shades of beige work as eye shadows as well as face powder.
Chanel Quadra Eye Shadow in 38 Premier Regard ($62) is a classic, beautiful neutral palette with shades of velvety beige, subtly shimmery taupe grey, soft pink and velvety deep black. It’s not a shimmer-party palette, so it’s worth the investment if it’s your kind of colour story.
Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in 93 Complice ($34) is one of several singles highlighted in the collection.
Chanel Waterproof Eyeliner in Noir Intense ($29); also part of the collection is a limited-edition liner in Silver Light.
Chanel Powder Blush in 72 Rose Initial ($48) is a rosy pink powder blush with super-subtle light-reflecting properties.
This was a tough shade to get right in Photoshop, let me tell you. Rouge Coco Shine lipstick in 73 Chic ($39) is a sheer beige sheen with fine gold shimmer.
Shimmery Glossimer Lip Gloss in 297 Sweet Beige ($31) is actually a slightly sweeter beige than Rouge Coco Shine in Chic.
Pure Shine Intense Colour gloss in 68 Troublant ($40), a violet-plum brown shade, has a high pigment load for more opaque shine.
Vitalumière Aqua liquid foundation is now available in a medium-coverage, velvet-finish cream version, formulated with 24 percent water and additional moisturizing emollients for normal to dry skin.
The Vitalumière Aqua Compact ($64) is equipped with a second inner lid that closes tightly to keep the formula fresh.
The six shades are SPF 15 formulas, but lack a DIN in Canada, so the UV protection won’t be listed on the packaging.
Chanel Nail Colour in 559 Frenzy ($27) is a milky greige, with a hint of lavender.
Chanel Nail Colour in 561 Suspicious ($27) is a bright fuchsia red — love.
Chanel Nail Colour in 563 Vertigo ($27) is the shade Jac wears in the campaign image: almost black with a shimmery red undertone.
See anything you like? The collection hits Chanel counters on August 27th.

Very into that Vertigo nail colour. And I only own ONE Chanel polish in my whole collection. Clearly I have to remedy that.
I love that shade too — and the name!
The Chanel Lumière d’Artifices in Beiges looks beautiful. I think i’m most excited about that.
Sequins! I have a thing for those — I think I need one of these for archiving and one for actually using. Erk.
Oh, thanks so much for sharing!! I’m in love with MANY pieces….the polishes as always are killer. I smell a cross-border trip in my future, I’ll be these are hitting U.S. counters soon
Best, Lisa
I love the polishes, too, Lisa. They look so good together — Frenzy has that soft moodiness, Suspicious is a killer gorgeous shade, and Vertigo is so… mysterious.
ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod your pictures kill.
Is that a reflection of the CN Tower?
Wow.
Thanks, Kelly — yep, it’s the CN Tower. Noticed it as I was snapping away; kinda gives the post context, yes? *grin*
Thank you so much!!
You’re welcome!
Just bought Vertigo! Fantastic.. Really cool color.
Gorgeous, right??
I like most of these but the sequin design gives me the creeps ):
Really? How so? :-)
