I am really inspired by the Chanel Haute Couture S/S 2013 collection, led by the beautiful Cara Delevingne. The theme is "a gothic dream, a midsummer night" based in an enchanted forest. Chanel creates a mysterious new gothic classy feeling. Also the Gothic meets 19th century is shown by the makeup and hair. Peter Phillips gives the models sport a care free do, however the main focal point being the eyes, the classic smoky eye was skilfully smudged to perfection. It created a complex design around the lower eyelid and external corner, which seems to elongate and add texture to the eye-lashes. To create that Gothic vibe, irregularly cut black lace was applied around the lower part and external corner of the eye, on top of the black kohl. Lots of black mascara was added to create fuller lashes. Black, Bold and Beautiful. The natural complexion was brought to life by a subtle hint of rose blush on the cheeks and pink iridescent lipstick.
I found out what makeup was used on the models skin and eyes-
On the Skin-
- Vitalumiere Aqua Fluid
- Eclat Lumiere
- Correcteur Perfection
- Poudre Universelle Libre
On the Eyes-
- Stylo Yeux Waterproof in Noir Intense (N°88)
- Le Volume de Chanel Mascara in Black (N°10) – new
- Stylo Eyeshadow in Black Stream (N°57) – coming Summer 2013
- Recourbe Cils de Chanel Lash Curler
The hair on the other hand was also a big part of the look. Styled by Sam McKnight, the models hair was parted on one side and put up in small back-combed buns, topknots or plaits, which created a sort of organised but messy hair-do. With a matte velvety texture, it perfectly suited the rich fabrics of the clothes, accompanied by the black and white feather hats, which were individually made to complement each models face.
The Chanel Spring Summer 2013 make-up is not an everyday look, but will certainly add drama to a chic haute couture gown.
Here is a video of behind the scenes of the show itself- I'm LOVING this.
