Backstage at Chanel Couture
We can always rely on Chanel to provide instant make-up inspiration. This spring we'll be lifting this look straight from the couture catwalk: opting for soft, smoky eyes and air-brushed skin. Go backstage at the Chanel show and hear from Creative Director of Chanel Make-Up Peter Philips.

Peter said: “In combination with the hair statements, the most flattering and contemporary solution for the models was to have a simple kohl-eye look, but instead of black kohl, I created a blue-khol.”

Peter said: “For the nails I created a pale pearl blue shade called Le Vernis - Sky Line. It's a beautiful, easy to apply, pearly (on the edge of metallic) shade that matched perfectly with the range of blues that Karl used for this Haute Couture Collection.”
