IT was all about the eyes for spring/summer 2013, and with its striking silver shadow, the Chanel beauty look was no exception to the rule."The inspiration of this look is a few key words that Karl [Lagerfeld] gave me: shine, focus on eyes and silver. So I tried to put different 'types' of shine in the look," said Chanel Make-Up's creative director, Peter Philips. "Starting with luminous, shiny skin, by using Vitalumière foundation and avoiding powder (except for on the T-zone),
I did a metallic 'shine' on the eyes - using a full cover layer of Illusion d'Ombre eye shadow. For this show I exclusively created a platinum shade which you can apply sheer, for a subtle luminous effect, or for a metallic result you can put a thick layer."The third element of shine was on the lips, and involved a clever combination of Chanel's Lèvres Scintillantes in Plaisir and its Rouge Allure in Gracile to create the pretty shade of shell pink sported by the models.And the nail look, that we all so eagerly await each season? "We did a discreet, shiny French manicure, using Le Vernis in Ballerina," Philips said. We certainly haven't seen French manicures for a while, but Peter Philips does have a way of turning the things we didn't even think we liked into the most covetable nail trends of the season. We'll just have to wait and see.
