An unexpected interpretation of Gabrielle Chanel’s favorite flower, the new Chanel Camélia Futura makeup collection reveals a metallic world, revolving around a camellia that has been catapulted into the future.

“There is something very soft and gentle about the camellia’s aesthetic… which is particularly surprising when you know that it is actually a very hardy plant that adapts and manages to flower even in extreme conditions. This duality is the basis for the collection, marrying soft, romantic qualities with colder, more futuristic and modern codes,” said Cecile Paravina, Chanel Global  Creative Makeup Partner.

The Camélia Futura powder blush trio, an Exclusive Creation, features a matte finish and is embossed with a camellia design. The Fluide Enlumineur Halo, which has a pearlescent finish, adds a hint of iridescent light.

To transform the eyes, Cécile Paravina designed Les 4 Ombres Utopia, a new harmony of 4 metallic eyeshadow shades, each of which is embellished with an embossed camellia design. A limited-edition release that is joined by 4 new shades of Stylo Ombre et Contour: 2 with a matte finish and 2 with a satin finish.

Two new shades of Rouge Coco Flash are unveiled in a a sheer peach with a pearlescent shimmer and a pink with lilac-blue iridescence, for a hint of shine and color. 2 shades of Rouge Allure Lacque is offered in a deep, rosy peach and a red pink with a metallic shimmer, for a satin finish and a sophisticated look.
