How-to: Chanel S/S ’12 makeup

The look:

Pale, glowy skin with pink or coral blush; wet shiny eyelids finished with a black eyeliner; slightly glossy lips and randomly placed pearl “piercings.”

The inspiration:

“To meet the inspiration of this fantastic underwater fairytale feeling, a mood of lightness, Karl [Lagerfeld] wanted shine and pearl. He made some beautiful sketches where the girls had pearl-studded ears and pearls following the spine.”—Peter Philips, creative director of Chanel makeup.
