CHANEL unveils new beauty project

In a first-of-its-kind for CHANEL, the French luxury house is taking a new approach to makeup creation, introducing its recently launched, Cometes Collective.

Cometes Collective is described by CHANEL as "a group of emerging talents shaping the future of beauty," with the first three artists named to join the group.

Makeup artists, Ammy Drammeh, Cécile Paravina and Valentina Li have been welcomed to the Cometes Collective, as well as being appointed as a trio of global creative makeup partners to steer the creation of CHANEL colour cosmetics.

"The house is proud to partner with these artists, the deserving recipients of international acclaim for their creativity, their expertise, and their free and authentic visions of beauty," CHANEL said in a statement.

"With the support of the CHANEL Makeup Creation Studio, they will contribute to the development of new collections and imagine inspiring content for CHANEL makeup lovers."

The makeup artists will come to Paris when they work on the house’s collections, that could be individually or together. None will be focused on a specific makeup category and each is to have the support of the makeup studio.

"The Cometes Collective breathes new life into the CHANEL art of makeup, shifting paradigms of beauty by amplifying new voices," the house said.

"The birth of the Cometes Collective reflects a new creative and visionary chapter at the heart of the CHANEL Makeup Creation Studio, written in the present, while paying homage to the past, in keeping with the core values of the house."

Our top CHANEL beauty picks:

Rouge Coco is an ultra hydrating lipstick that has had a revamp, with a new formulation and colour range. Each lipstick shade has been inspired by the close friends of Mademoiselle Chanel, dedicated to those who simply called her, Coco. Our pick is the iconic shade, Mademoiselle.

Health Glow Bronzing Cream is a unique, lightweight and easy-to-blend cream-gel bronzer with a delicate, velvety finish. It leaves skin with a natural sun-kissed glow, all year round.

Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint is a unlike anything you have tried before. This lightweight, hydrating skin tint is composed of 75% water, and is a first-of-its-kind for CHANEL. Created with micro fluidic technology, micro-droplets of encapsulated pigments melt into the skin on contact, creating a radiant bare-skin effect. It provides a softened, smooth finish for an even complexion.
