When it comes to beauty, Chanel has always been a master of blending timeless elegance with a daring edge. With the help of the ‘Cometes Collective’, a group of three cutting-edge makeup artists prepared to completely reimagine what it means to be a Chanel woman, the House has embarked on an exciting new chapter. Meet the fearless creatives Ammy Drammeh, Cécile Paravina, and Valentina Li- the trio behind this inventive collective who are set to bring a fresh burst of energy to Chanel Beauty.

These three artists are ready to shake things up. Although they’ve already made an impact in the beauty world, they’re now collaborating with Chanel to make things even bigger. In addition to collaboration, the ‘Cometes Collective’ is all about expressing oneself fearlessly and embracing diversity, while following in Gabrielle Chanel’s footsteps, as these creatives aim to disrupt conventions and usher in an era of bold, sophisticated beauty.
Kicking off this revolution is Cécile Paravina with her debut collection, ‘Clairvoyance’. Gabrielle Chanel’s fascination with astrology, tarot cards, and divination served as inspiration for Paravina’s captivating collection. According to Paravina, “I like to think that Mademoiselle Chanel could predict the future.” And with ‘Clairvoyance’, she translates that imaginative spirit into an enthralling color scheme. Imagine a collection that seems to have sprung out of a dream: dark, enigmatic purples, electric greens, and blazing oranges.

At the heart of ‘Clairvoyance’ is the ‘Rouge Allure Liquid Velvet’- a lineup of 15 lip colors that are nothing short of spellbinding. From the sultry brown ‘Énigmatique’ to the daring purple ‘Ensorcelante’, each shade is designed to make a statement. With a luxurious matte finish and long-lasting wear, these lipsticks are all about empowering women to embrace their inner mystery and allure.
And let’s not forget about the cheeks! The ‘Exclusive Creation Les Tarots de Chanel’ features two blushes in shades that are anything but ordinary. Lavender and blood orange blushes, embossed with fortune-telling symbols, promise to give your complexion an otherworldly glow. It’s the perfect mix of fun and sophistication, with just a hint of mystique.

The eyes, the most expressive feature, take on a new dimension as Paravina serves up two new ‘Les 4 Ombres’ palettes that are sure to become your new obsession. ‘Initiation’ offers a chic blend of pinks and browns for an everyday look that’s anything but basic, while ‘Divination’ takes things up a notch with a bold mix of matcha green and purples that are simply hypnotic. And because no Chanel look is complete without a touch of mascara, the new ‘Noir Allure’ in ‘Améthyste’ adds just the right amount of eccentricity with its deep purple hue.
Of course, Chanel wouldn’t be Chanel without a fabulous manicure to match, and this collection’s ‘Le Vernis’ hues are totally enchanting. The elements that elevate this collection to utterly infatuating are ‘Spirituelle’, a rich, earthy tone, and ‘Phénomène’, a breathtaking purple with gleaming green highlights.
