Once again this year, the French brand has presented a limited edition holiday collection. For 2014, feathers are the chosen theme.
Playing on contrasts and shimmer, this winter beauty collection is intended to be as light and delicate as a feather.
The centerpiece of the Plumes Précieuses de Chanel line is the Camelia de Plumes Highlighting Powder, which is pressed into a camellia-shaped feather pattern. The powder combines platinum and gold shimmer particles to illuminate and highlight the cheekbones or the neckline.
Next come the eyeshadows, which Chanel is offering two ways this holiday season. For a multi-layered look, there is the Oiseaux de Nuit Palette, which includes five contrasting colors (white, gold, grey, lavender, dark purple-grey and black). For a monochromatic look, there is the Illusion d'Ombre eyeshadow in Envol, a shimmery peach shade.
The Stylo Yeux Waterproof liner in a metallic gold color also helps to bring out the eyes.
Making sure not to leave out the mouth, Chanel has also unveiled two new lipstick colors -- one bold and the other more subtle. The Rouge Allure Velvet lipstick in La Flamboyante is an intense matte red that's perfect for the festive season. Those who prefer more understated lips can choose the Rouge Allure lipstick in Volage, a peach that ties in with the Envol eyeshadow.
This soft tone carries over to the cheeks with the Joue Contraste powder blush in Caresse, completing the look.
Finally, for your holiday manicures, Chanel offers Le Vernis in Phenix , a vibrant red color that either matches the lipstick or contrasts with it, depending on the color chosen.
