Johann Wolfgang von Goethe affirmed: “Superstition is the poetry of life”. Chanel could be considered a poetess in that her creations infused, and still infuse, emotions all while recounting an airy truth, almost imperceptible to the common eye. Without crossing into cliché territory, this makeup line understands superstition as something refined and playful, as if superstition could be the reservoir of a truth – inspired by the enchanting colors of autumn. With the Superstition collection, Chanel is attempting to give an advantage to women in this wager that is a possible influence on chance.
More than just mascara, this new makeup can wear in itself the promise of seeing a dream come true. The line also unites sophisticated shades like bronze, taupe, and khaki with more intense and traditional tonalities such as coral, bordeaux, or golden beige. The shades are vibrant and refined. The new Blush Crème offers a light, airy, and agile texture. Held together in a bit more compact of a box, it yields these sumptuous shades of eyeshadow and Rouge Chanel with just one touch. And to perfectly match with its six shades of lipstick, the Blush is also available in six shades. But the line doesn’t stop there! In addition to the Blush and palette of 4 eyeshadows, you can also find a volumizing mascara, two essential Ombres, a waterproof eye pencil, and three shades of mythic nail polish. Mystically, the products are given franglais names like Hasard, Fantastic, Destiny, Présage, Gri-gri, and Elixir. All these qualifiers recall the superstitions and symbols that marked the life and work of the couturier. And, since luxury can make simplicity remarkable, maybe it could also contribute in putting some magic back in your daily life?
