Winter in the mountains always has a unique, dazzling rhythm. Picture the sharp glint of high-altitude sunlight hitting pristine snow slopes, or the soft glow of a log fire on your face when you return indoors at dusk. The CHANEL Makeup Creation Studio has cleverly translated this light-and-shadow contrast between day and night, outdoors and indoors, into its new holiday makeup collection.
The inspiration for this collection traces back to the 1930s. At the time, Gabrielle Chanel and her friends traveled to St Moritz in the Swiss Alps, socializing and skiing at an elevation of 1,856 meters. Ninety years later, the brand takes mountain light as its theme once again, with Margaret Qualley modeling a romantic makeup look that appears gently kissed by snowflakes.
Winter refinement tucked inside a white pouch
The most instantly captivating detail of this exclusive collection is the packaging. CHANEL specially paired its classic black lacquer compacts with gold-trimmed white pouches, as if gently wrapping the makeup in snow.
Among them, the #Mont Rose sculpting blush (HK$ 525), embossed with a snow-capped mountain motif, gives cheeks a subtle flush like a natural glow after being out in the cold. The Neige d’Or highlighter (HK$ 940) features a gold-flecked white shimmer that catches the light on the cheekbones and high points of the face, dazzling like newly fallen snow. For eyes, the Ombre d’Or Les 4 Ombres palette (HK$ 715) blends satin taupe, pearlescent gold, and deep brown to easily weave a deep, warm look.
The long-beloved LA CRÈME MAIN nourishing hand cream (HK$ 715/50 ml) also gets a limited-edition look this time, tucked inside a white pouch. Its silky texture absorbs instantly, making it a comforting ritual to pull out on cold, dry winter days.
Metallic shimmer for lips and fingertips
Beyond the limited-edition embossed makeup, the collection includes plenty of radiant options designed for holiday nights. For example, LE LINER waterproof liquid eyeliner debuts in #Eclat Doré, an intense warm gold that adds a jewel-like gleam to the lash line. LE VERNIS nail polish offers cool-gold #Scintillance and golden-white #Blanc Alpin, keeping fingertips sparkling in any light.
The lip options are equally rich. The ROUGE COCO ultra-longwear gloss set features the metallic-tinged #Étincelle, golden white #Givre, and exclusive rose-pink #Aura. If you prefer hydrating lipsticks, ROUGE COCO in #La Pausa—named after Gabrielle Chanel‘s French Riviera villa—along with the soft rose-red #Marie, or the premium 31 LE ROUGE lipstick inspired by 31 Rue Cambon in Paris, all offer beautifully textured options for winter looks.
