Spring 2012: CHANEL HARMONIE DE PRINTEMPS.

January 20, 2012/

From the break of dawn to the descent of twilight, skies reveal an enchanting array of hues with the arrival of Spring. Inspired by this brilliant seasonal change, Peter Philips, Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, infused glowing, sunlit colour into the CHANEL Spring 2012 Makeup Collection, HARMONIE DE PRINTEMPS. Subtle gradations of rose, coral and peach sculpt the face, giving it a soft radiance, while rich garnets and vivid pinks dress the lips.

BLUSH HORIZON DE CHANEL - GLOWING BLUSH HARMONY - $58.00

In one elegant compact, five pink and peach tones mimic the luminous hues of sunset. This unique powder blush lends itself to multiple effects: blended together, the harmony is ideal for sculpting and accentuating the natural contours of the face. Using just the pink shades creates a fresh, youthful flush, while on their own, the peach tones produce a warm, sun-bronzed glow.

ROUGE COCO BAUME - HYDRATING CONDITIONING LIP BALM - $32.00

This moisture-rich lip balm combines ultra-conditioning benefits with a sumptuous, high-gloss finish. ROUGE COCO BAUME Hydrating Conditioning Lip Balm boasts an advanced Hydratendre Complex, which hydrates and softens lips, for a healthier and fuller appearance. Its sheer, lustrous texture glides on smoothly, leaving lips beautifully aglow.

ROUGE COCO - HYDRATING CRÈME LIP COLOUR - $32.00

Lips are dressed in the vibrant hues of this fresh spring harmony. In a palette of rich pinks, warm peaches and deep reds, ROUGE COCO Hydrating Crème Lip Colour and ROUGE COCO SHINE Hydrating Sheer Lipshine beautifully complement the daylight-inspired makeup effects of the season.

The collection stars a mix of bright and playful colors balanced with rich, saturated hues. Nars chose to photograph model Ginta Lapina for the spring campaign, explaining, “Her delicate features and classic beauty made her an ideal fit for a collection that’s at once fresh and fierce.”

The collection includes:
