A technicolour dreamscape in face paint form, Chanel’s spring/summer 2025 beauty collection is here to add a little play to your day. Dreamed up by one of beauty’s most sought-after names, Gambian-Spanish makeup artist Ammy Drammeh – who’s also a Chanel Cometes Collective member – alongside the Chanel Makeup Creation Studio, the collection is a well-rounded assortment of colour-popping products including eyeshadows, eyeliners, blushes, lip balms and nail polishes.
Offered in shades of lavender, green, pink, red and brown the collection invites you to clash boldly or blend seamlessly for a tone-on-tone effect. It’s a joyful, expressive lineup that unapologetically embraces both colour-blocking and mix-and-match artistry, with finishes that range from luminous to powdery, shiny to matte – textures as diverse as the silks, chiffons and iridescent pearls that inspired them.
Mirroring the vibrant hues of the SS25 catwalk, the collection takes an ode to early spring with a standout twin set: the Ombre Essentielle eyeshadow and Stylo Yeux Waterproof eyeliner. Designed to play with light and texture, the duo allows for endless creativity. The silky, pigment-rich Ombre Essentielle can be applied in three ways – blended, layered or worn solo – to sculpt and define the eyes with multidimensional colour. Meanwhile, the long-lasting Stylo Yeux Waterproof delivers bold, graphic lines or subtle definition with its precise retractable tip and built-in sharpener.
Swipe on a sheer veil of Rouge Coco Baume next – the lip balm that’s as covetable as a lipstick. Now available in a new, amplified shine finish, it delivers up to 16 hours of hydration while offering customisable coverage, from a barely-there tint to a saturated pop of colour in just three coats.
The collection’s showstopper? The Jeux de Lumières Multi-Use Eyeshadow and Highlighter Palette. Designed to make colour glow, this oversized compact features four radiant powders for the face, eyes and décolleté. Wear each shade on its own, layer them for depth, or blend together for a luminous satin finish that enhances all skin tones.
Finally, Le Vernis arrives in two milky, limited-edition shades – soft yet striking, the perfect finishing touch to a look that’s equal parts effortless and expressive.
With its kaleidoscope of colour, innovative textures and playful spirit, Chanel’s SS25 beauty collection is an invitation to experiment, express and embrace the art of makeup. Whether you’re drawn to bold contrasts or subtle harmonies, this lineup offers endless ways to reinvent your look – one radiant hue at a time. Consider it your passport to a season of creativity, where beauty knows no rules… only possibilities.
