As temperatures climb, overflowing makeup bags start to feel like more effort than they’re worth. Instead, the season calls for a curated edit of products that do the heavy lifting. There’s a growing appeal in investing in a few well-made essentials that earn their place in your makeup bag. The kind of products that enhance rather than conceal, multitask rather than clutter, and bring a sense of everyday luxury without demanding a dozen steps. That philosophy sits at the heart of
Chanel Beauty’s new Summer’s Calling collection, a lineup designed for long days, golden-hour dinners, and nights that unexpectedly stretch until sunrise. Instead of asking you to overhaul your routine, the collection offers a few considered additions that elevate what is already there.
Leading the limited edition collection designed by Valentina Li of the Comètes Collectiveis is an ultra-versatile silky balm duo that brings a fresh flush of pink, coral, or vibrant magenta to both the complexion and the lips. Dab it onto the cheeks for a sun-kissed glow, press it onto the lips for a hydrated hint of color, or layer it for extra intensity as day turns into night.
For the eyes, Chanel introduces new shades of its Stylo Ombre et Contour pencils, arriving in soft baby yellow, sweet pink, peachy beige, and muted mauve brown. The creamy pencils glide effortlessly across the lids, capturing the playful side of summer beauty. Meanwhile, Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue, the lipstick built for the season’s longest days is a transfer-resistant, long-wearing formula that promises to stay put no matter where the night leads you.
Rounding out the collection are two new shades of Le Vernis that feel tailor-made for sandal season. Party Girl, a metallic pastel pink and Solstice, a semi-sheer soft peach, which offers a more understated finish. Whether painted onto fingertips wrapped around an iced coffee or peeking out from your favorite pair of strappy sandals, both shades add just the right pop of color against sun-kissed skin.
The makeup line is now available online and at Chanel Beauty boutiques, so when Summer’s Calling, you know what to pick up.
