Backstage Beauty: The Chanel Glow at Fall-Winter 2025/26 Haute Couture

For the Fall-Winter 2025/26 Haute Couture show, Chanel delivered not only a collection steeped in elegance but also a beauty look on each model that radiated effortless refinement—classic, modern, and unmistakably Chanel.

A Radiant Complexion

Skin was perfected with Les Beiges Touche de Teint, applied using the 2-in-1 Foundation Brush N°101 for a sheer yet polished glow.

To refine the complexion, Le Correcteur de Chanel was delicately buffed into the skin with the Retractable Dual-Ended Concealer Brush N°105, ensuring a seamless, barely-there finish.

To recreate a natural, sun-kissed luminosity, Les Beiges – Crème Belle Mine Ensoleillée was swept along the hairline, cheekbones, and jawline—subtly sculpting and warming the face.

Cheeks came alive with a touch of Joues Contraste Intense in Rose Radiant, blended upward toward the temples using the Blush Brush N°110 for a lifted, fresh effect.

Framed in Precision

Brows were groomed and defined to frame the face, first brushed into place with the Dual-Ended Brow Brush N°207, then filled in using the Stylo Sourcils Haute Précision for a soft, natural structure.

Eyes That Speak Volumes

The eyes carried a quietly powerful definition. The taupe shade of Les 4 Ombres 308 Clair-Obscur was swept across the lids and lower lash line for soft depth, with the deeper tone gently placed on outer corners to create an elongated almond shape. Edges were blended softly using the Dual-Ended Eyeshadow Brush N°200, maintaining an air of mystery and elegance.

Lashes were curled with Le Recourbe Cils de Chanel, then coated generously with Le Volume de Chanel – 10 Noir, adding drama and dimension to the look without overpowering it.

Lips with Subtle Drama

Lips were softly defined with Rouge Allure Velvet in 77 Affranchi, a velvety, modern rose. A touch of Baume Essentiel Transparent added a fresh sheen, keeping the finish dewy and soft-focused.

Understated Nails, Polished Finish

The nail look followed Chanel’s signature style, refined and immaculate. Nails were prepped with La Base Camélia, painted in the muted neutral Le Vernis 401 Beach Icon, and topped with Le Gel Coat for a high-shine, long-lasting finish.
