As Monroe once quipped, “Beneath the make up and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world”. It’s a nice idea, but we’re not so much interested in what’s behind the make up, as the make up itself thanks – especially when, as in this case, the make-up is Chanel. And just like Marilyn, Lily-Rose Depp uses the stuff as a means of disguise, transforming herself into a multitude of characters with the help of Lucia Pica, Chanel’s Global Creative Make Up and Colour Designer, and of course, their latest assortment of lotions and potions. Only Chanel gives one the versatility to pull off a beret-donning spy, an acclaimed writer and a young American ingénue in Paris, all within two minutes.
