NEAPOLIS: The New City

FOR SS18, CHANEL GLOBAL CREATIVE MAKEUP AND COLOUR DESIGNER, LUCIA PICA, AIMS TO REFLECT THE MANY FACES OF NAPLES, WITH A SEEMINGLY ENDLESS ARRAY OF COLOURS WITH WHICH TO CONJURE THIS SPECTACULAR CITY.

Lips

Central to the collection is the limited edition LES 9 OMBRES eyeshadow palette containing an enticing spectrum of brighter and more muted shades. For added intensity, Lucia Pica looks to green: OMBRE PREMIÈRE Crème in Verderame is an exceptional dusty grey-green with a subtle metallic sheen, which looks beautiful worn alone or layered beneath the shadows in the eye palette. Inspired by a door detail, MASCARA DIMENSIONS in Nero Metallo is a metal blue green while the STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF is either in Nero Vulcanico a deepest green- blue inspired by the ash black from Vulcano, or in Mare- Chiaro, a bright jade green.

Face

For the face, inspired by the view of the mountains view at sunset, JOUES CONTRASTE blush in Foschia Rosa is a poetic dusting of pink that will instantly enliven the complexion.

Nails

Nails offer another chance to play: for Spring / Summer 2018. Lucia Pica offers her first pastel shades, including Nuvola Rosa, a ‘pastel pink cloud’ and Verde Pastello, a delicate mint green, but also a bright orange with Arancio Vibrante. Giallo Napoli – ‘bright Naples yellow’ refers to the affresco picture, the famous colour used in paints.
