Step into the captivating realm of Les Symboles de Chanel, a mesmerizing collection unveiled just in time for the holiday revelry. Picture yourself adorned with these opulent marvels, casting a captivating radiance upon your winter complexion. In the world of Chanel, it transcends mere makeup; these illuminating powders become talismanic embodiments, weaving personal narratives and the intricate tapestry of Chanel’s history.

The Mystique of Les Symboles de Chanel:

Known for her notorious superstitions, Gabrielle Coco Chanel, in addition to her zealous creativity and perfectionism, harbored a fascination for symbols and numbers, notably the number 5. Confiding in master perfumer Beaux, she revealed, “I present my dress collections on the fifth of May, the fifth month of the year, and so we will let this sample number five keep the name it has already; it will bring good luck,” Indeed, luck has graced her creations, infused with the craftsmanship of the master.

Whether Mademoiselle’s infatuation with this number influenced the decision to craft five distinct Les symboles de Chanel illuminating powders is unclear. What’s certain is that these illuminating powders embody her craft’s passion and mystical love, paying a perfect tribute. The palette, available in Warm Gold, Pearly White, and Precious Coral shades, strategically contours and illuminates your face with a luxurious sheen, making it an exquisite addition to your holiday collection. The Les Symboles de Chanel illuminating powders not only captivate the eyes but also diffuse seamlessly on your skin, inviting you to explore the brilliance that celebrates CHANEL.

These illuminating powders are a constellation of creativity that serves as a heartfelt homage to Mademoiselle’s enduring passion. Let’s take a look at each of them! 

A Deep Dive Into the Collection:

Le Lion (Strength)

Step into the powerful world of “Le Lion,” a nod to Mademoiselle’s Zodiac sign, symbolizing strength and passion. Just as she surrounded herself with lion figurines, this illuminating powder embodies the enduring presence and fierceness of this majestic creature. This radiant creation infuses your skin with a bold and passionate glow, a testament to the very DNA of Chanel.

La Comète (Luck)

Behold the celestial allure of “La Comète,” inspired by Mademoiselle’s belief in stars as harbingers of good luck. This Les Symboles de Chanel palette is a cosmic masterpiece, lovingly embossed with two stars that symbolize the brand’s mystical brilliance. As stars guide the night sky, this creation guides your makeup routine with an enchanting touch of luck and cosmic inspiration.

Le Camélia (Harmony)

Transporting us to the early nineties, this Les Symboles de Chanel palette is yet another nostalgic journey. Mesmerized by symmetrical petals, Mademoiselle drew inspiration from dandies’ jacket lapels adorned with the Camellia flower. Pinned to her belt, Coco’s Camellia became a muse to her 1923 collection. The gorgeous palette captures the essence of the harmonious flower, allowing you to adorn your skin with the timeless beauty and grace of this iconic bloom.

La Chaîne (Style)

Discover style evolution with “La Chaîne,” a Les Symboles de Chanel palette that traces the history of Chanel’s iconic chain straps. Introduced in 1955, these chains added style and functionality to Chanel’s leather bags. The palette beautifully incorporates the gilded mesh, echoing the couture style synonymous with Chanel. Let your skin be adorned with a touch of history and the undeniable style of this exquisite creation.

Les Perles (Radiance)

Indulge in the timeless allure of “Les Perles,” a palette inspired by Coco Chanel’s deep fascination with pearls. Adorned with mini-embossed powder pearls arranged in the iconic Chanel symbol, this palette captures the essence of femininity, radiance, and elegance. Just as pearls illuminate all skin tones, this creation adds a layer of subtle radiance to your face, embodying the beauty and sophistication cherished by Mademoiselle herself.

Priced at $95 each, these illuminating powders are available for individual purchase or as part of an enticing holiday gift set. Whatever your preference, seize this unique opportunity in 2023 and own a piece of Chanel’s extraordinary collection.

Back in 2017, runway favorite Teddy Quinlivan came out as transgender even though it might mean losing a few fans and brands in the process. Cut to 2019 and we’re happy to report that Teddy keeps breaking down barriers. Her latest triumph? Becoming the first openly trans person to represent Chanel in an advertising campaign.

“When I came out I knew I’d stop working with some brands, I thought I’d never work with the iconic house of Chanel ever again,” the model posted on Instagram.

The news is especially exciting since we recently reported that transgender and non-binary representation in ads fell to its lowest point in three years. In the just released ads, Teddy touts everything from lipsticks to bronzer for Chanel Beauty in grand fashion. We only hope she follows this major coup up with more campaigns and runway appearances for Spring 2020.

In a fashion universe still obsessed with logomania, Chanel’s logo is truly iconic. Those interlocking Cs have always been a status symbol and now the brand has created a makeup collection in its honor. Sort of.

The new Noir et Blanc Fall 2019 offering actually has a few other sources of inspo, from Parisian architecture to founder Coco Chanel’s own appreciation for everything black and white. But it’s not all about black and white. The collection has a few contrasting shades, including deep burgundies, browns and grays.

From the lipsticks to the nail polishes, all the pieces are must-haves. But the real game changer is the Le Gel Pailleté, a transparent gel for your face and décolleté. Curious to see what it looks like? Look no further than Chanel favorite Kristen Stewart, who rocks the shimmering gel in the brand’s ad campaign.

Head over to Chanel to score all the eyeshadow palettes, lip products, eyeliner and mascara your makeup-loving heart can handle.

First up is Chanel, which hired Lucia Pica for its newly-created global creative makeup and color designer position. Pica is expected to start January 1, though according to Fashionista, it is still not confirmed whether or not she will participate in creating the runway looks for Chanel’s Fall 2015 show come Paris Fashion Week. She will be creating makeup products for the brand, so it will definitely be exciting to see how she brings her perspective to the storied Chanel brand. But don’t hold your breath since her creations won’t hit shelves until 2016.

As for Ports 1961, the label just named Natasa Cagalj as its new creative director. Cagalj is a Lanvin alum and also sat as head of design for Stella McCartney, a position she held for seven years before leaving in 2012. Cagalj will take over for Fiona Cibani, who will ease into her new position as president of Ports NY Inc. Cibani calls the decision to appoint Cagalj a “long-term” one, so we’re interested to see how she transforms the brand.

Clearly, the fashion world has a lot to look forward to in 2015!
