maltatoday, SUNDAY, 6 DECEMBER 2015 Christmas Supplement VII Absolument – Chanel's 2015 holiday collection The exclusive creation The Signe Particulier Exclusive Creation gets ready to party and takes up the spirit of the Rouge Noir nail polish. Dedicated to eyes, this palette of four eyeshadows offers a vibrant, soft, luminous and dark echo of the iconic colour. Revolving around a deep, luminous and matte rouge noir, a warm saffron gold lights up makeup, a velvety parma violet adds a touch of softness and a slightly rosy satiny beige delivers a dash of light. Each of these eyeshadows can be used on its own or in a duo for intense eyes or a blend of colours. With its quilted surface, the Signe Par- ticulier Exclusive Creation also refers to the House icons. Each eyeshadow is stamped with a double C, like a seal. Luminous sheen. Apply the satiny rosy beige under the brow bone to gently light up and illuminate the eyes. Radiance booster. Apply the velvety parma violet to the eyelid to dress it in velvet or use as a highlighting touch under the brow bone or at the inner corner of the eye. Electrifying Rouge Noir. Trace a curved line with this deep rouge noir in the crease at the outer corner of the eyelid, then blend inwards. To outline the eyes with an intense rouge noir, which is more subtle yet more audacious than black, accentuate the eye contour by tracing a line along the upper and lower lashes. Smoldering gold. Apply the metallic saf- fron gold shadow as a touch of light under the brow bone, on the middle of the eyelid and at the inner corner of the eye for a wide-open eye effect and precious radi- ance. The complexion Joues Contraste Lumiere 12 Coups de Minuit illumi- nates cheekbones with a halo of light. The soft and in- tangible texture of this peach beige highlighter catches the light and accentuates con- tours for a dazzling effect. The complexion is translu- cent and simply radiant. Apply on its own in the morning for a fresh cheek effect and over a slightly darker shade of Joues Con- traste in the evening for a more sophisticated effect. As a highlighter, it can also be applied to areas that catch the light: on top of cheek- bones, between eyebrows, on the chin, in the dip of the décolleté and on the top of shoulders. The eyes Between shadow and light, Rouge Noir captivates the eyes with a mysterious smoldering look, from eyelids to the tips of lashes. Rouge Noir meets Illusion D'Ombre for the first time. The affinity between the incredibly deep colour and the modern, sophisticated eyeshadow is self-evident. The sensorial cream texture with its garnet red intensity slips into irides- cent shimmers for an elec- trifying radiance effect in a particularly luminous version. Daring women will readily try sensual and irresistible lamé smoky eyes. The shock of volume finds its ultimate expression with Rouge Noir. Deep garnet shimmers enhance intense black. With its inimitable volume effect, the Rouge Noir mascara can be applied on its own for intense rouge noir glimmers or layered over Le Volume Ultra – Noir de Chanel Noir Khôl mascara on the tips of lashes for a more discreet touch of glamour. Le Crayon Yeux. An intense tone-on-tone line of Le Crayon Khol Rouge Noir infuses eye makeup with an extra touch of depth and perfection. For a touch of light, Le Crayon Yeux Or Safran revisits the radiance of golden tones in a singular spicy shade in line with the spirit of the collection. The lips The epitome of sensuality, nude or red lips accentu- ate every nuance of Rouge Noir eyes. Rouge Allure. Whether satiny or velvet, intense lipstick by Chanel takes on extra vibrancy during festive evenings. Rouge Allure Vaporeuse shakes up the innocence of pink with a hint of parma violet shimmers for a romantic pout. Rouge Allure Velvet La Merveilleuse, a deep raspberry red, dresses lips in an intense, audacious and sensual colour, exalted by the velvet, matte and luminous texture. Lèvres Scintillantes. Two delicate and ultra-luminous shades add charm to every smile. Rose de Lune, a pale pink with silver shimmers, coats lips in dazzling shine. Sensual and glossy Étin- celle plays with the modern, glamorous duality of rouge noir in a sheer version sprinkled with gold. The nails The Rouge Noir adventure all started with Le Vernis. It is now the star of the Holiday make up collection, which turns the spot- light on nails. For this special collection, Le Vernis Rouge Noir indulges in a limited edition and a festive outfit. The legendary colour decorates the sides of the onter carton and leaves its mark on the double C on top of the lacquered black cap. Le Vernis and Le Top Coat Lamé Rouge Noir. For this holiday season, the Chanel Makeup Creation Studio combines the iconic Le Vernis Rouge Noir with a top coat featuring vibrant metallic shimmers. The depth of Rouge Noir is echoed by the gold lamé iridescence of Le Top Coat Lamé Rouge Noir. Mystery meets opulence. An ultra-precious duo for holiday celebrations, day and night. Le Top Coat Lamé Rouge Noir is used as a highlighter. It is as fine as gold leaf. Its transpar- ent texture, infused with golden pearlescent pigments, is layered onto the nail in several coats for precious effects, dressed in joyful golden sparkles. In harmony, Le Vernis Rose Fu- sion, a grey-tinged parma violet, adds an offbeat touch with its soft, delicate hue and powdery finish.
