Chanel is continuing its welcome tour-de-UK this upcoming week, shifting its focus from Manchester, where its most recent Métiers d’art show took place, to Edinburgh. A city that held a special place in founder Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel’s heart, the luxury French house is opening a pop-up beauty boutique to celebrate the launch of its new, limited-edition lippies: the Rouge Allure Velvet Nuit Blanche range.
The luscious matte lipsticks come in eight exclusive shades, immaculately crafted to suit every hour of the evening, starting with intense, seductive reds and ending on fresh pinks and mauves taken straight from the palette of a city sunrise.
Located in the picturesque Charlotte Square, the house has turned door No.8 – a stately building designed by neoclassical architect Robert Adam – into an immersive experience where customers can discover the new products in all their glory. Featuring an indoor cinema where visitors can watch the campaign film featuring Aussie darling Margot Robbie, the space also boasts a backstage area where you can try on your favourite shade. Those interested in getting the perfect Chanel nighttime look can go one step further and book a spot for a makeup masterclass that will be running across opening hours.
The products will be available for purchase in-store, with the space opening to punters on March 9 and running until March 30. Pre-book your visit here.
