Set against the solar limestone of Provence’s Carrières de Lumières, it was Virginie Viard’s contrast of the angelic and the rebellious at Chanel’s Cruise 2021/2022 show that gave the Chanel girl plenty of attitude.
Crafted by Chanel’s Creative Makeup and Colour Designer, Lucia Pica, the beauty was no different. Abandoning bright lips of past collections, the Cruise show presented undone grunge, and perfectly indulged our beauty cravings – the fresh, velvet-like skin only skincare and a light hand of an illuminating fluid can achieve, and our desire to be noticed with bold eyes and inky lashes.
Bringing vitality to the drama of double winged eyeliner and cat eyes, cheeks were flushed and dewy, matched with soft nude lips. It’s this balance that makes Pica’s vision unexpected, contemporary and wearable, even for those of us not blessed with the high cheekbones and wide-awake eyes of friend of the house, Lily-Rose Depp.
Below, these are the radiant-skin-givers and smokey eye staples behind Lucia Pica’s striking Cruise 2021/2022 beauty look.
