Chanel Autumn/Winter 2012 Backstage Beauty
The brows that everyone's talking about... Let's take a closer look!
Go RunwayThe ready-to-wear Chanel beauty look was all about crystals: crystal-clear skin; crystal-clear lips and crystal-embellished brows (naturally).
Peter Philips, Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, talks us through the look...
“The inspiration for the makeup look came from a few key words and a sketch that Karl Lagerfeld provided: minerals, shading and eyebrows were the key words and the sketch showed a face with stone-lined eyebrows..."
Go Runway“...So the focus is on the eyebrows, which led me to interpret Karl's drawing and the "mineral" emphasis by creating straight, graphic eyebrows.”
Go Runway“I worked with the Maison Lesage to create sets of embroidered eyebrows. Each eyebrow consists of an anthracite gray sequins and pearl base, embroidered with several sorts and shades of mineral stones and crystals.”
