LIGHT AS AIR

Take flight with the new L’Envol de Cartier. The luminous men’s scent, which translates to “the flight of Cartier,” evokes a sense of personal elevation both genders can relate to. The woody Oriental scent opens with accents of honey before guaiac wood, patchouli and musk add depth and complexity for an elegant finish.

SEEING RED

For her first project as Chanel’s Global Creative Makeup and Colour Designer, Lucia Pica chose to subvert the most classic of hues—red. From crimson lip liners to scarlet-tinted eyeshadows and cardinal nail polishes, the Le Rouge collection is destined to be a cult favourite.

INTO THE BLUE

If you’re still wary off the full-on blue eyeshadow look spotted on the runways, try a stroke of azure on your lash line. A bright cobalt screams weekend fun while an inky shade makes it appropriate for everyday wear.
