There are details powerful enough to transform a makeup look. A stroke that catches the light, a gleam on the lids, or a red lip set against fresh skin. In Chanel’s backstage images for Spring-Summer 2027, these small gestures form a proposal with personality and plenty of ideas to bring into our own looks.
The most striking focus is on the eyes: a metallic gold eyeliner that traces the upper lashes and extends outward, paired with a cool, luminous shadow. A combination that invites playing with shine without weighing the face down.
Gold Eyeliner and Silver Shadow: the Duo That Steals All the Spotlight
In one of the backstage looks, the gold draws a defined line that ends in a small upward wing. The stroke has presence and a shine reminiscent of polished metal.
Across the lid, a silver-reflective shadow, with bluish-gray undertones, adds depth and softly diffuses toward the crease. The luminosity also appears near the tear duct, where it helps accentuate the gaze.
The mix of warm and cool tones is what makes this proposal especially intriguing. Gold and silver coexist in the same makeup, with each maintaining its own lead: the shadow creates a delicate backdrop and the liner provides definition.
To accompany them, the eyebrows retain a natural appearance and the lashes let the eyelid work shine through.
Luminous Skin and Soft Lips to Balance the Shine
In the photos, the skin retains its texture and shows a fresh finish, with a glow on the cheekbones. The blush adds a soft pink tone, without harsh edges.
The lips that accompany the metallic liner also follow that direction: a natural pink with a subtle shine, which completes the makeup without competing with the eyes.
That balance provides one of the keys to adapting the look: decide where to focus attention and work the rest of the face with soft tones and light layers.
Red Lips: Chanel’s Other Makeup Option
The backstage also shows a second option: intense red lips, with defined contour and a slightly satin finish, paired with eyes that look almost bare.
In this version, the mouth organizes the entire look. The brows look natural, the lids carry a discreet luminosity, and the skin keeps the same freshness as the metallic eye makeup.
They are two paths that share one idea: an expressive detail on a face with a light, airy look. The gold lights up the gaze; the red adds strength to the smile.
How to Re-create Chanel’s Gold Liner
To craft a version inspired by the runway images, you can follow these steps:
- Even out the skin with a lightweight foundation. Apply concealer where you need it and add a well-blended pink blush.
- Extend a soft silver shadow over the mobile lid. Blend the edges so the color fuses with the skin.
- Draw a gold line along the upper lashes. Use an eye-friendly eyeliner and extend the tip into a small wing.
- Brush the brows and lightly define the lashes. The intensity of the liner can be enough to make the gaze stand out.
- Finish with pink lips with a subtle shine. A tinted balm helps recreate that fresh effect.
For a more discreet adaptation, you can wear only the gold line along the lid, without adding the silver shadow. A simple gesture that captures the most distinctive detail of Chanel’s proposal.
