Fresh Makeup Looks for Spring: Lip and Nail Color Combo Inspiration

Fresh Makeup Looks for Spring: Lip and Nail Color Combo Inspiration

via

Leave it to CHANEL to launch two truly innovative new formulas just in time for spring: moisture-rich CHANEL ROUGE COCO STYLO Complete Care Lipshine and durable LE VERNIS Longwear Nail Color. We couldn't wait to get our hands on the newest collections at our photo studio and get to work having fun experimenting with the new shades.

We rounded up a small crew at Studio N. Our first reaction? Loving the variety of perfectly edited colors that run the gamut from classic glamour to freshly modern. We incorporated a few different inspirations throughout the shoot, which give you just a tiny glimpse at the countless looks anyone can create with these superior hues. From day to night, see the all our looks and more reasons why CHANEL has you covered for spring and beyond with these two covetable collections.

Fresh and Natural: We started off clean and beautiful with barely-there blush and a tinge of peach on the eyes-try CHANEL ILLUSION D'OMBRE Long-Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in '98 Melody'. On the lips, our artist chose the Lipshine Stylo in '218 Script' and paired it with '522 monochrome' on the nails.

Dressed-Up Casual: For a look that can take you from workday to weekend brunch, we bumped things up a notch with a red lip in '206 Histoire'. With rich color, shine and hydration, the Lipshine formula is like a lipstick, gloss and balm all in one product. Genius!

Happy Hour: For a little more drama, swipe on some smoke (try Luminous Eyeshadow in '83 Illusoire') and deepen the lip color with '212 Recit'. Our artist also changed the nails to LE VERNIS Longwear in '514 Roubachka,' which she loved because "it's a true purple, and you don't see that very often." Get the most out of these high-shine colors with LE GEL COAT Longwear Top Coat. Activated by natural light-no UV light required-this new gel coat extends the wear of your nail color up to seven days while adding an ultra-glossy finish.

Night Out: For an A-list party look, we doubled up on the smoke factor, without going overboard and popped the lip with '208 Roman'.

The verdict at the end of the day? Our makeup artist said it best: "The lip colors are great. They're richly pigmented but go on feeling like lip balm and don't dry your lips out or flake. They keep everything feeling smooth, hydrated and glossy. They wear evenly, and you don't end up with a line of demarcation around the outer edges of your lips. As for the polishes, they go on smooth and easily. Plus the colors are very cool-I'm still in love with that purple!"
