Backstage at the Chanel Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2026 runway, beauty becomes essential, luminous, deeply couture.
Skincare: the ritual of light
Skin preparation is the heart of the look.
Begin by applying a small amount of SUBLIMAGE L’EXTRAIT DE NUIT to the cheeks, forehead, and neck.
Next, apply SUBLIMAGE LA CRÈME Texture Universelle, performing Le Geste Sublime Radiance:
For a moment of pure comfort, SUBLIMAGE L’EXTRAIT HUILE LÈVRES is applied to the lips throughout the day.
The ritual concludes with SUBLIMAGE LA BRUME, sprayed on each side of the face and across the forehead, either under or over makeup.
Complexion: natural, fresh, couture
The complexion is even yet imperceptible.
Apply LES BEIGES WATER-FRESH COMPLEXION TOUCH with the 2-IN-1 Foundation Brush 101 for a bare-skin-enhanced effect.
Correct imperfections only where needed using ULTRA LE TEINT LE CORRECTEUR, applied with the Retractable Dual-Ended Concealer Brush N°105.
A hint of color brightens the face: JOUES CONTRASTE INTENSE – Rose Radiant or Beige Éclatant, depending on skin tone, is applied to the center of the cheek and softly blended upwards along the cheekbone.
To enhance the facial contours, dab a small amount of BAUME ESSENTIEL – Sculpting or BAUME ESSENTIEL ROUGE NOIR – Cute onto the high points of the cheekbones, gently tapping for a refined, dimensional glow.
Eyebrows: softly defined
Brows are reshaped with STYLO SOURCILS HAUTE PRÉCISION, framing the eyes with natural definition and understated elegance
Eyes: pure light
On the eyelids, BAUME ESSENTIEL – Sculpting is applied to the center of the lid, creating a fresh, luminous, modern effect.
Lips: one gesture, a veil of color
Depending on skin tone, lips are enhanced with ROUGE COCO BAUME – 912 Dreamy White or 752 Honey Bliss, applied directly in a single swipe. The finish is sheer, glossy, and effortlessly chic.
Nails & hands: minimal chic
Nails are prepared with LA BASE CAMÉLIA and finished with LE GEL COAT for a flawless shine. Hands—silent protagonists of the look—are moisturized with LA CRÈME MAIN, adding a final touch of discreet elegance.
