Chanel is ushering in a new era of expressive beauty with its Spring-Summer 2025 makeup collection, a bold and vibrant range designed to inspire creativity and confidence. Created by makeup artist Ammy Drammeh, a member of the Comètes Collective, this collection is a celebration of radiant skin and playful color, giving beauty lovers endless ways to reinvent their looks. Aptly titled “ColourMatch,” the collection delivers a striking balance between minimalism and vibrance, exploring the harmony of monochrome makeup and the thrill of unexpected color combinations.
Makeup, as Chanel demonstrates once again, is more than just a routine—it's a playground for self-expression. This collection reminds us that beauty should be fun, flexible, and endlessly customizable. Drammeh’s collaboration with the Chanel Makeup Creation Studio has resulted in a collection that channels Mademoiselle Chanel’s love of color blocking and coordination, bringing that legacy into the modern age with a fresh, innovative twist.
One of the central themes of ColourMatch is the idea of monochrome makeup—using one dominant color across eyes, cheeks, and lips to create a harmonious, elevated look. This approach, far from being restrictive, feels both chic and effortless. The collection’s peach and pink shades are standout choices for those seeking a cohesive and flattering look. A hero product in this segment is the new Rouge Coco Baume in Tender Peach. Combining rich hydration with a sheer dewy finish, it enhances natural lip tones and adds a healthy glow. Complementing it are soft beige matte eyeshadows and subtly tinted eyeliners, perfect for daily wear or an understated evening look.
The Chanel Ombre Essentielle Eyeshadow in Latte Frappé pairs beautifully with these tones, providing a soft wash of color that can be built up or kept sheer for a minimalist finish. This monochrome palette, while subtle, makes a strong style statement and is incredibly wearable for all skin tones. It’s ideal for those who want a coordinated look that requires minimal effort but offers maximum impact.
For those with a more daring approach to beauty, Chanel’s new collection doesn’t shy away from vibrant color play. Inspired by the iconic Chanel twin sets, the collection includes dynamic duos of eyeshadow and eyeliner designed to complement and contrast with one another. The Menthe À L’eau eyeshadow—an invigorating mint green shade—adds a fresh burst of color that feels just right for spring and summer. Pair it with the matching Le Vernis Nail Colour in Artiste for a head-turning statement that remains sophisticated.
Another exciting color combo in the collection features lilac eyeshadow coupled with the Stylo Yeux Waterproof Eyeliner in Mauve Intense. These jewel-toned hues are flattering and on-trend, offering makeup lovers a chance to explore vivid, playful looks without straying too far from elegance. The lightweight textures and high-pigment finishes make these products easy to layer and blend, allowing for both soft pastel effects and more dramatic eye-catching results.
What ties the entire ColourMatch collection together is Chanel’s signature emphasis on glowing, healthy-looking skin. The Jeux De Lumières Multi-use Eyeshadow and Highlighter Palette is a showstopper. With shades of rosy gold, peach coral, and gold with copper shimmer, this palette is designed to enhance every complexion. Whether used sparingly for a lit-from-within look or built up for an editorial-worthy finish, the palette adds dimension and warmth to the face and body. The ultra-fine shimmer particles catch the light perfectly, making it an ideal addition for summer parties, beachside evenings, or everyday radiance.
The versatility of the palette goes beyond the face—it can be dusted over the shoulders and décolletage for an all-over glow that’s flattering and luminous. Combined with the fresh color options in the rest of the collection, it provides a radiant base that anchors even the boldest looks.
Chanel’s Spring-Summer 2025 ColourMatch collection delivers an artful mix of wearability and daring creativity. From monochrome elegance to bold color stories and glowing skin, the collection offers something for every mood and moment. Whether you're sticking to a single shade or blending a kaleidoscope of colors, Chanel invites you to play, express, and shine this season.
