CHANEL hosted their 2023/24 Métiers d’art collection in Manchester inspired by the brilliant colours founder Gabrielle Chanel brought to her tweeds.
The fashion house’s current creative director, Virginie Viard, adds vibrancy and a pop element to them this season, accompanying each outfit with a sixties-inspired make-up look reflecting the music scene and personal style of Manchester’s locals.

Manchester is an esteemed city famed for its music culture, a concept Viard believes encourages creativity. The show which took place at Thomas Street in North Manchester, was influenced by the concept of feelings.
The show saw a collection of various suits, bags and pearls paired with shimmering make-up looks and an eyeshadow palette of salmon pink, pumpkin, apple green, mustard, sky blue, red and rust.

The collection rounds up the longstanding youthful love affair shared between Chanel and Great Britain, and the make-up artistry, which illustrates themes of Manchester’s music scene, demonstrates graphic reverse eyeliner, vibrant blush palettes and strong eyebrows.
The perfect base was created using the Les Beiges Water-Fresh Complexion Touch, and imperfections were covered using the Le Correcteur De Chanel.

A pop of colour and freshness was added to each look using Joues Contraste in 64 Pink Explosion on the apples of the cheeks and temples. Applied to the upper cheekbones, the Baume Essentiel Lilas gave the face an overall glowy look.

As for the eyebrows, Stylo Sourcils Waterproof was used to fill them in, and the Le Gel Sourcils in Transparent created depth to the hairs. The eyes saw the Stylo Ombre and Contour Rouge Noir smudged out onto the outside of the lower lashline while the Le Crayon Yeux in 10 Blue Jean painted the lids.

To finalise the looks, the Rouge Coco Flash Freeze exaggerated the lips and the nails were painted using the La Base Camelia as a preparation coat, followed by Le Vernis De Chanel in 111 Ballerina or 127 Fugueuse and topped off with the Le Gel Coat for some added shine.
