Personally, we can leave the house without foundation or a lick of lipstick, but we can’t live without our eye makeup. And if you’re a fan of layering your eye makeup and prefer a more nuanced look, then you’re sure to love this new range. Lucia Pica, Chanel Global Creative Makeup and Color Designer, has created an entire collection dedicated to the art of layering makeup and dressing up your eyes in a nuanced way.
Every makeup artist has a signature that makes her work unique and singular. For Lucia Pica, it’s all about layering and the interplay of colours for the most natural yet sophisticated result. Wanting to make this professional technique accessible, she created Ombre Premiere, which has a wide palette of colours, textures and contrasts, so you can create a wide variety of looks that is beyond the seasonality of trends.
The range consists of cream eyeshadows that you can layer over sumptuous matte, satiny or metallic powders. Textures include everything from velvety to silky, and you can choose between subtle shimmer to matte, satiny or even metallic finishes. Every product can be worn on its own or layered over each other.
The collection also includes a selection of mascaras and eyeliners. However, our personal must-haves are the two completely new brushes: an eye pencil with a soft lead and an eyebrow gel without any matter. The Chanel Ombre Premiere Eye Makeup range will hit stores on 27th May 2017. Check out the entire collection here.
Housed in a perfectly round and familiar case with a golden double C, the Ombre Premiere Long Wear Cream Eyeshadow looks chic both inside and out.
With its incredibly melt-away texture, it glides over the eyelid and blends in effortlessly with its applicator.
The secret of its softness and glide-on effect lies in a mixture of emollient oils.
Ultra-dense in the jar, they feel incredibly lightweight on skin, allowing you to adjust their intensity exactly as you wish.
Its satiny finish evens out and dresses up the eyes in a luminous finish that lasts for eight hours.
You can apply the Ombre Premiere Longwear Cream Eyeshadow with fingertips and pat lightly to blend in for a subtle, sheer finish or use a brush for a more intense effect.
