JACE Hong Kong Coliseum concert makeup decoded: from CHANEL DENIM to ROUGE NOIR cowboy chic, using color to freely express her true self

Mention JACE (Chen Hoi Wing), and people immediately think of her unconventional, high-energy spirit. During the 2026 Lunar New Year, she finally took the stage at the Hong Kong Coliseum for her first solo concert. Green was the concert’s theme color: JACE asked the audience to dress in green, while portraying herself as a “green snake” in a visual spectacle of cultivation and transformation.

Beyond her explosive performance, the show’s makeup was another standout, with thoughtful details hidden beneath the lighting and styling. For this concert, JACE teamed up with CHANEL Beauty, using the latest Denim Makeup Collection and ROUGE NOIR collection to bring Gabrielle Chanel’s uncompromising spirit into the green snake’s journey of cultivation.

Starting with “denim blue” to capture a lively spirit

JACE’s makeup artist, Echo, shared that the looks were carefully developed to complement the concert’s theme. CHANEL’s latest DENIM ROUGE NOIR makeup collection was used to enhance each look. Throughout the concert, JACE’s makeup was ever-changing and expressive, echoing the color language of CHANEL makeup while reflecting her attitude toward freedom and refusing to be bound by rules.

JACE’s signature lively gaze was created with CHANEL’s LES 4 OMBRES eyeshadow quad in #Coco Jean. The makeup artist first applied the pearly azure shade to the inner and outer corners of the eyes, then blended it out with golden beige. He finished the look with ROUGE COCO FLASH lipstick in BABY BLUE.

At the Hong Kong Coliseum, the lighting is intense and the audience is far from the stage, so conventional dry application may not fully bring out the eyeshadow’s delicate metallic finish. The makeup artist therefore used CHANEL’s ROUGE NOIR highlighting stick, along with silver-gray, to accent the eye makeup. This “wet application” technique instantly brings out the watery blue and silver pigments in the shadow, giving the powder a satin-like liquid-metal texture. It helps the color adhere closely to the lids and last without fading, while giving JACE’s every glance a dewy, intense reflective glow with a strong presence.

Sculpting the collarbones and contours: A sheen like snake scales

Onstage, facial contours and body skin are just as much a visual focus. To define JACE’s body contours as she danced, the makeup artist put careful work into every detail. He chose COCO DENIM highlighting powder, which has a distinctive pearlescent sheen woven with subtle blue and pink reflections. He applied it to JACE’s collarbones, shoulder line, and the high points of her face. As the stage lights hit, these cool-toned highlights shift with JACE’s movements, creating a shimmery, snake-scale-like glow with a distinctly modern feel.

The power of ROUGE NOIR: The ultimate transformation awakened through strength

As the concert reached its climax, JACE’s makeup transformed along with it. That was when the legendary ROUGE NOIR made its entrance. This iconic shade, introduced in 1994, is known as “a red that’s almost black, a black that’s almost red.” More than a shade, it embodies Gabrielle Chanel’s spirit of boldly challenging tradition and refusing to follow the crowd.

The makeup artist applied ROUGE ALLURE VELVET lipstick in #ROUGE NOIR to JACE. This deep red-purple shade has a rebellious elegance, instantly transforming JACE from her earlier lively feel into a queenly figure with a powerful presence. Under the stage lights, this “black-red” shade conveyed a mysterious yet resolute sense of strength, perfectly expressing the ultimate transformation after awakening.

Beauty can be freely expressed through color

JACE ‘s performance at the Hong Kong Coliseum was undoubtedly a spectacular visual feast. Through her songs and the colors of CHANEL Beauty , she vividly expressed the avant-garde, bold, and timeless fashion spirit of Madame Chanel . From the freedom of Denim to the power of ROUGE NOIR , the beauty we saw went beyond appearances; it was a deep dialogue with oneself and a process of growth. The “green snake”‘s journey of cultivation may have come to an end, but its courage to show one’s true self and refuse to compromise with mediocrity remains in the hearts of every audience member.
