4 ways to master your Christmas make-up, by Chanel

We called on makeup master Christine Lucignano to bring us beautiful beauty trends for Christmas and the party season.

Chanel’s festive collection is Lucia Pica’s second for the luxury label, encapsulating extremes in light and textures — think concrete grey and gunmetal silver. Here’s how to get the look.

1. Push the boat out on a lux and dramatic eye with the new Architectonic eyeshadow Palette.

Balance your dramatic eye with a neutral lip such as Rouge Allure Gloss in Super Nude. Try a statement nail as well using Le Vernis in Roubaskha and Liquid Mirror.

Skin prepared using Le Lift VFlash Sublimage Le Teint Foundation RRP €125.

Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronze Universel, RRP €39.

Exclusive Creation Architectonic Eyeshadow Palette, RRP €57.

Le Volume de Chanel Ultra Black, RRP €32.

Rouge Allure Gloss in Super Nude, RRP €33.

Le Vernis Nail Colour in Liquid Mirror and Roubashka, RRP €25.

2.  Keep skin french and angelic-looking with the new Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Hyper Fresh and new Sublimage Le Teint foundation. 

When skin looks this clean and ethereal come in with a red lip in Rouge Allure in Ultraberry and a partnered Le Vernis nail varnish in Pirate.

Skin prepared using Le Lift V-Flash Sublimage Le Teint Foundation RRP €125.

Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronze Universel, RRP €39.

Exclusive Creation Architectonic Eyeshadow Palette, RRP €57.

Rouge Allure Luminous Satin Lip Colour in Ultraberry, RRP €34.

Le Vernis Nail Colour in Pirate, RRP €25.

Navy silk crepe shirt: £3390

3. For the daring, use Calligraphie de Chanel in Hydrablack in a very dramatic way by really winging the product out and treating it as a cream shadow. 

This product won’t budge all night and with the addition of lashings of mascara in Le Volume de Chanel Ultra Black you are guaranteed to up the beauty stakes. Try balancing the drama for this look by paring your intense eye with a statement red lip, Rouge Allure in Ultraberry.

Use an avant garde nail for this look, like Le Vernis Velvet Pink Rubber and Le Vernis in Mythique.

4. For an evening look try the new cream eyeliner in Calligraphie de Chanel in Hydrablack. 

There is a fantastic brush included so you can apply the product both smudgy as a shadow and defined as a liner.

Match up this beautiful eye with a nude lip, Rouge Allure Gloss in Super Nude. Nails are shown in the new limited edition Le Vernis Velvet Pink Rubber.
