Some memories have a way of staying with you. The glint of sunlight bouncing off ocean waves. Shimmers of condensation glistening on the waxy surface of a leaf. A pleasant warmth against skin. Nature has the propensity to make us feel small in its vastness—and yet, also, free, in part due to its expansiveness. And while the beauty industry has historically looked to the great outdoors for inspiration, it is rare that brands strive to replicate the effects of nature on your skin and psyche. Until, of course, Chanel. Enter the Les Beiges range; the incarnation of instinctive, intuitive make-up designed to enhance your natural beauty.

All things considered, creating a line-up that would mimic and bolster your complexion’s innate glow is no easy feat. What’s more, products that would feel like open air on the skin, equipped with a diaphanous texture that illuminates your visage without pilling, cracking or flaking. Against all odds, the maison emerged victorious with its Le Beiges range, which was born after further experimentation with microfluidic technology.
