My winter makeup routine comprises a smoky brown eye and a berry-colored lip. It’s the sweater-jeans-boots equivalent of a makeup uniform. Typically, Chanel’s limited-edition holiday collections infuse my seasonal status quo with luxury: an extra shimmer here or red lip there. Take, for example, the Lumiere Graphique Eyeshadow Palette from 2023—a five-pan mix of black, brown, and silver— or the trio of berry lip stains from the 2022 collection.
But every routine needs disrupting—and Chanel's 2024 holiday collection is a welcome departure from my usual. Officially available on Chanel.com today, the 14-piece lineup is the resortwear equivalent of winter makeup. Rather than an overwhelming display of browns, mauves, and gold-dusted highlighters, the limited-edition release is ripe with hot pink, bright orange, and peach tones. Really, it’s an island sunset incarnate.
