Before I worked for Chanel, I always did a lot of crazy, artsy looks--especially with eyes. I utilized more primary, vivid colors from lines like M.A.C and NARS. After I started working for Chanel, I realized those looks are great for runway shows, going out, or even if you're in college, but they aren't practical for the majority of most women, working professional day jobs. Not to mention, your average woman is terrified of dramatic makeup. Enter the Chanel application. Chanel, with the exception of lipsticks, works mostly with tertiary colors which are a blend of primary and secondary colors. Tertiary colors deal in tints, tones, and shades only. Here are some instances where a real soft look works best.
A practice round: Diana Kim wanted to do a consultation with me first at the counter before I did her makeup the day of the wedding. She didn't want a lot of eye makeup and we were able to cover a lot of blemishes with concealer and our cream to powder foundation. She doesn't look like she's wearing much--goal achieved!
She was a very beautiful and calm bride.
Liz comes to me regularly. She works for an insurance company and this is her day look.
My nieces before their piano recital.
A shot I took for my website. I used the rose/berry shadow duo.
Three of my favorite quads. From left to right: "smokey eye," "enigma," and "celest bleu." You don't have to use a lot in one sitting as the shadows are heavily pigmented. One sweep of the brush gives you plenty.
