So when I saw Chanel's Rouge Coco Lip Shine, a chic new look of sheer...I couldn't wait to try every color! Rouge Coco Shine is a perfect hybrid of a lipstick and a lip gloss.
It's light enough to wear on its own, or line your lips with one of Chanel's liners to brighten the color. Either way, it's fabulous!.
It glides on like silk and hydrates your lips. The colors range from Chance a powder pink, LIberte a sheer apricot, Monte Carlo a pink red, Sari D'Eau a coral shimmer or Boy a natural rose.
They can bring your look into fall with violets, berries, neutrals and browns. Check out Elise, a berry rose or Bel-Ami a plum brown. There is a color for every skin tone!
And you may notice the names of the colors. They represent something in Coco Chanel's storied life.The color "Boy" is named for the love of her life, Boy Capel. She was known as a "Rebelle" in the fashion world when she tore away the structured clothing for women and introduced them to a much more comfortable jersey.
Also places she loved to go... "Monte Carlo", or "Deauville" where she set up a hat shop.
And she always took a "Chance". (one of my favorite colors. I wear it alone or with Chanel's Pretty Pink lip liner.) So far I have seven colors and I wear one everyday. Love them! They glide on like silk and even though they're sheer, the colors last.
A lighter look for summer lips....but how to lighten up the rest of your make up?
I went straight to someone who knows. Danielle is a make up artist at my hair salon, Maxime, in Hingham, Massachusetts. They have a mineral brand of make up called b.yoffi which means "be beautiful" in Hebrew.
Danielle and I played around with the beautiful colors just in for the season. Pinks, corals...all perfect for a lighter look.
But what if you want that fabulous summer glow? She told me to try the b.yoffi bronzer because it doesn't have any shimmer to it. So you get that sun kissed look with any shine. Love it!
With a lighter lip she said play up your eyes with a bronzing gold and use other highlighting shadows to add a pop of color without over doing it. The best advice? Only accentuate one of your facial features at a time. Your eyes, or your lips...but never both.
Keep it light for summer!
