Pearls were an emblematic staple for the flawless fashion icon Coco Chanel so it seems fitting that Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, has used mother-of-pearl as his main inspiration for the new spring 2011 cosmetic collection.

Pearls have a unique way of awakening the eye or face while at the same maintaining naturalism. The Powder Blush, for example, manages to give a glowing lift to the face, while at the same time leaving no trace of obvious or unsubtle color. The mixture of hues within Pearl, mean that the powder is able to manipulate the result of your skin color, leaving it looking fresh and radiant, while at the same time, natural.

The whole collection is faultless; the eyeshadows go on smoothly, without unnecessary smudging or creating too heavy hues and can be layered to give different affects; and the Quadra Eyeshadow manages to recreate the elegant move from day to evening in just one box, allowing you to shift from peach, gold white or black throughout the day.

Once again, Chanel Makeup has struck gold and this collection not only contains the must have nail varnishes for the season but also a sumptuous mix of color that will light up your face and awaken your eyes and lips. The strong, natural and seductive elements shine through this exceptional Chanel collection, making it an essential must-have for Spring 2011. We hope you like it!
