The CHANEL Spring-Summer 2025 Ready-to-Wear show was a dazzling display of elegance, sophistication, and artistic innovation, with a makeup look that perfectly captured the essence of modern glamour. The theme backstage revolved around a bold yet refined graphic effect that pushed the boundaries of eye makeup, combining sharp, striking lines with an understated touch of luxury. CHANEL’s beauty experts created a captivating and edgy look that drew everyone’s attention, especially with their use of the LE LINER DE CHANEL and sequins, making it a standout on the runway.
The Makeup Look: Bold and Intricate
The focal point of the makeup look for CHANEL’s Spring-Summer 2025 show was all about creating drama and elegance through the eyes. Using LE LINER DE CHANEL N°512 Noir Profond, a deep black eyeliner, the artists drew thick, graphic lines on the eyelids, emphasizing the shape and intensity of the models’ eyes. This graphic liner wasn’t just about precision, but also about boldness, offering a strong statement that was chic yet wearable.
But what really took the eye makeup to another level was the addition of black sequins placed delicately on top of the liner. This innovative use of texture and sparkle gave the otherwise bold and minimalistic liner a luxurious twist, catching the light and adding depth to the look. The result was eye-catching yet subtle enough to exude elegance, blending the worlds of fashion and beauty in a way that felt both futuristic and timeless.
The combination of the bold black liner with the shimmering sequins created a visual contrast that was understated, yet undeniably intricate. The sequins added dimension to the look, but without overwhelming the simplicity and elegance that CHANEL is known for. This look struck a perfect balance between graphic artistry and delicate embellishment, making it one of the most memorable beauty moments of the season.
Get the Look: A Step-by-Step Breakdown
Recreating the captivating CHANEL beauty look from the Spring-Summer 2025 show is surprisingly simple, and CHANEL’s lineup of iconic beauty products makes it easy to achieve the same sophistication at home. Here’s how to get that runway-ready look:
1. LES BEIGES Water-Fresh Complexion Touch
Start with a flawless base. The secret to achieving the glowing, fresh-faced complexion seen on the CHANEL runway lies in the LES BEIGES Water-Fresh Complexion Touch. This product provides a light, water-infused texture that enhances the skin’s natural radiance without feeling heavy or cakey. It’s perfect for achieving that dewy, lit-from-within glow that CHANEL models are known for.
Apply the Water-Fresh Complexion Touch using your fingers or a brush, blending it smoothly over the face for a sheer, hydrated finish. The formula allows the skin to breathe, leaving a natural, radiant look that’s ideal for spring and summer.
2. JOUES CONTRASTE INTENSE in Rose Ardent
For a healthy, flushed look, use JOUES CONTRASTE INTENSE in Rose Ardent, a beautiful pink blush that adds just the right amount of color to the cheeks. The intense, rose-toned shade brings life to the complexion and adds a touch of warmth to balance the graphic eye makeup. Lightly sweep the blush over the apples of the cheeks, blending upwards toward the temples for a natural, lifted effect.
This pop of color on the cheeks complements the bold eye look without competing with it, creating a harmonious balance across the face.
3. BAUME ESSENTIEL in Transparent
Next, add a touch of luminosity with BAUME ESSENTIEL in Transparent, CHANEL’s multi-use glow stick. Apply it to the high points of the face—think cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, and the cupid’s bow. The balm delivers a glossy, wet-look sheen that reflects light beautifully, giving the skin a fresh, dewy appearance.
The BAUME ESSENTIEL is a great product for adding subtle glow without looking too sparkly or overdone, and it enhances the skin’s natural texture, allowing it to shine through.
4. LE LINER DE CHANEL N°512 Noir Profond
The star of the look is the LE LINER DE CHANEL N°512 Noir Profond, which creates the striking, thick lines on the eyelids. This liquid liner offers intense pigmentation and a long-lasting finish, ensuring that the graphic liner remains sharp and defined throughout the day or night.
To achieve the look, draw a thick line along the upper lash line, starting from the inner corner and extending outward. You can create a slightly winged shape to elongate the eyes and give them a more dramatic flair. Precision is key here—take your time to ensure that the line is smooth and even on both sides.
Once the liner is applied, let it dry slightly before moving on to the next step.
5. Add Black Sequins
To take the eye look to the next level, carefully place black sequins along the line of the eyeliner. You can use a small amount of eyelash glue or a similar adhesive to secure the sequins in place. The key is to be strategic with the placement—less is more, as you want the sequins to add dimension without overpowering the clean lines of the liner.
The sequins catch the light and add a touch of sparkle that makes the look feel modern and high-fashion. It’s an unexpected detail that elevates the entire makeup look, perfect for those moments when you want to make a bold statement.
6. LE VOLUME DE CHANEL N°10 Noir
Finish the eyes with a few coats of LE VOLUME DE CHANEL N°10 Noir mascara. This mascara is designed to add volume, length, and definition to the lashes, complementing the bold liner and sequins. The formula is rich and buildable, allowing you to create dramatic lashes that frame the eyes and enhance the overall look.
Be sure to coat both the upper and lower lashes to open up the eyes and balance out the strong liner.
7. STYLO SOURCILS HAUTE PRÉCISION
For the brows, use STYLO SOURCILS HAUTE PRÉCISION to define and shape the arches. Brows play an important role in framing the face, and a precise, well-groomed brow will enhance the bold eye look without drawing attention away from it.
Using a light hand, fill in any sparse areas and define the shape of the brows. Keep the look natural yet structured, allowing the brows to complement the bold liner rather than compete with it.
8. ROUGE COCO FLASH N°54 Boy
To complete the look, add a subtle wash of color to the lips with ROUGE COCO FLASH N°54 Boy, a soft, neutral lipstick with a glossy finish. This shade is perfect for balancing out the dramatic eye makeup, offering a hint of color and shine without overpowering the rest of the face.
The sheer, hydrating formula glides on smoothly and leaves the lips looking plump and polished. It’s the ideal finishing touch to a sophisticated, runway-ready look.
