It’s able to go without saying that a smoky black shadow paired with intense black lashes are a go-to makeup look for most of us. The sultry look feels equal parts edgy, glamorous and classic all at the same time, which means it’s versatile enough for pretty much any occasion.

So with that being said, here at theFashionSpot we’d like to introduce you to the mesmerizing Les Nuits de Chanel collection, which has everything you need to achieve a perfect smoky eye. The collection features a stunningly beautiful four shadow palette adorned with luminous sparkles, an intense black mascara for fuller, thicker looking lashes, and a brightening waterproof eyeliner in a variety of limited edition shades to last you long into the night.

Your First Look at Les Nuits de Chanel:

The Chanel Makeup Creation Studio sought inspiration from Mademoiselle Chanel’s joyful, extravagant nights out when designing this exclusive palette: LES 4 OMBRES Éclat de Nuit. With this harmony of four easy-to-use, nighttime-chic shades, Chanel presents the art of the smoky eye. Its Smoky Black shade, which builds in intensity with each swipe, coordinates with an Antique Beige, a Metallic Khaki and a Taupe Beige with luminous sparkles. An effortless way to achieve party-ready, expert makeup looks that range from the simplest to the most spectacular. ($68.00)

We compromise on a lot of things, but a less-than-lit makeup mirror should never be one of them. Especially now when the right mirror can do so much more than just help you see your pores — like charge your phone, help you perfect your spot correction technique, play music and even supply a natural sunlight setting.
