During Paris Couture Fashion Week, Chanel awed audiences, not only with their delightful dresses, but also by the ballerina-inspired makeup worn by the models. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span></span></span></span></b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Inspired by a 1920's watercolour painting of Coco Chanel, <i>Les Aquarelles de Chanel </i>reveals a softer, feminine side to makeup. Created by Chanel's makeup genius, Peter Phillips, this beautiful collection features 6 limited edition pieces. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXYWS-Nbp71Qwc5vZZueIL8DLdu0mDyqTbPtHF_OKdZAKtUa28ZVOzaKdZXXfnVKy4ANDE82hdyhg08DcX5L5KUFq4PMdGCHGcH5D0gkJjjakq0Z6YPcZKbWKj0uyhQ83zbqlNIgT_hgYv/s1600/chanel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXYWS-Nbp71Qwc5vZZueIL8DLdu0mDyqTbPtHF_OKdZAKtUa28ZVOzaKdZXXfnVKy4ANDE82hdyhg08DcX5L5KUFq4PMdGCHGcH5D0gkJjjakq0Z6YPcZKbWKj0uyhQ83zbqlNIgT_hgYv/s640/chanel.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">The Look</span></b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Eyelids shimmer with an iridescent tinge of ivory, gold and grey. Cheeks are abloom with misty pink blush, blended to create a natural rosy flush. Lips are tinted in pastel pink. I love the addition and precision of the black winged eyeliner, which perfectly balances out the soft opalescent shades. The final look is dreamy and striking at the same time. If I were to have a signature makeup look, this would be it.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeEGVjCz5mbsPIssAeUF-AKz3Ir2dWkuI4TPd2BWxbUnEtWN0cGhNW61kO3IWOEUNuJ6iEGKf-i68Ebj744fOEthGnjkIWl4p7Qm8u2NIhq2Xvk5doJjDDRVrdiX5_YBH7D-ovAiQLYyC1/s1600/chanel2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeEGVjCz5mbsPIssAeUF-AKz3Ir2dWkuI4TPd2BWxbUnEtWN0cGhNW61kO3IWOEUNuJ6iEGKf-i68Ebj744fOEthGnjkIWl4p7Qm8u2NIhq2Xvk5doJjDDRVrdiX5_YBH7D-ovAiQLYyC1/s640/chanel2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Top Row</span></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Le Vernis. </b>A sugary pink nail varnish that duly corresponds with this feminine look.
