Pretty eyes at Chanel

It was all about the eyes. Peter Philips, the Global Creative Director of Chanel make-up, said, “I recreated a paint, print texture that Karl Lagerfeld used on some of the handbags and shoes for this fall/winter RTW show” (source: talkingmakeup.com). Lots of Chanel’s Le Crayon Kohl Intense Eye Pencil was used, in classic black and also in clair, which is a new shade for this season. The skin was left as a flawless, porcelein base and the lips were au naturel to focus one’s eyes on, er, the eyes. I really like this look but, alas, I don’t think I could get away with wearing it in the real world, where lithe-limbed, leggy beauties and floaty frocks aren’t really in abundance.
