On Monday evening, I had the pleasure of attending the CHANEL Beauty masterclass in partnership with ELLE Collective at Harrods. The masterclass was hosted by ELLE’s Contributing Editor, Nellie Eden and renowned makeup artist, Anna Payne exclusively for ELLE Collective Members as an opportunity to preview CHANEL’s new party season products.
Recently CHANEL beauty has been elevating its game to create multipurpose yet effective makeup products that for me perfectly encapsulates what the modern woman is after in her day-to-day makeup. This new party collection of makeup (designed by members of CHANEL's COMETES COLLECTIVE) has not disappointed, the favourite product of the collection was the eyeshadow palette designed by makeup artist and COMETES COLLECTIVE member, Valentina Li. Inspired by the northern lights, the palette has a nostalgic 80’s feel about it yet lends itself to being able to create more in trend makeup looks. The spectrum of the palette also enables all eyes colours to be distinguished whilst being the perfect tool to lift the entire structure of the face.
During the workshop segment, we were given makeup tips and tricks by the incredible Anna Payne. For Payne, it’s all about the dimension of the face and making sure that makeup is providing the face with a multi-dimensional feel. The key to creating this you may ask, lifting the face structure by contouring on the cheekbone and colouring under the lash line. Other tips included starting with highlighter before adding bronzer and my favourite tip, applying blusher on the eyes first and then bringing it down to the cheekbone.

After the workshop ended, we were given a chance to sample and try the new collection with Chanel makeup artists on hand showing us how to best apply the products to highlight our individual features. I was given the absolute luxury treatment when Anna Payne herself did my makeup, elevating my base to really as she said make my eyes pop. Will definitely be taking what she did and her tips in the workshop to incorporate into my daily routine.
Once we had sampled we were free to head down to the Chanel Store to spend our £30 voucher on Chanel products, £4 for a concealer, an array of samples not to mention Christmas decoration is definitely girl maths at its finest! Lastly, we were taken down to the popup for our very own Christmas filtered photo and polaroid.
