Chanel Magnificence Spring 2026 has arrived and appears to be promoting out quick! I ordered every thing sight unseen as quickly because it launched on-line. I shared swatches right here and after testing these for the previous week I lastly have my assessment. The gathering is out now at Chanel.com and Nordstrom.
When you’re nonetheless on the lookout for something that’s bought out on-line at Chanel every product web page has a “Discover in Boutiques” possibility hyperlink. I clicked and it brings up a listing of the Chanel magnificence boutiques which have issues in inventory. Nordstrom additionally has the shop locator per product web page, so I like to recommend utilizing the instrument to test your native counters.
As a very long time Chanel magnificence lover I anticipated to like every thing on this assortment however I really feel there are some large misses.
Rouge Noir Confidence Eyeshadow and Blush Palette
I had the best hopes for the Rouge Noir Confidence Eyeshadow and Blush Palette ($95, Chanel and Nordstrom) however have combined emotions based mostly on utility. The 2 lighter colours apply effectively with a clean fairly end, however they disappeared from my pores and skin nearly the second I utilized them. The 2 darker shades go on the pores and skin very patchy and inconsistently. Even with plenty of mixing they didn’t mix effectively. I attempted this a number of methods since my pores and skin is on the dry aspect now and I couldn’t get this to work for my pores and skin sort even with further moisturizer and a hydrating basis beneath.
I haven’t learn different opinions but however numerous you messaged me about this. Half of you find it irresistible, the opposite half additionally mentioned you additionally had some utility challenges.
Swatched subsequent to Tendresse:
The colours are for certain stunning and excellent for a reasonably Valentine’s Day theme. For me it is a go. If the appliance isn’t completely clean or straightforward to mix, I’m going to say it is a miss.
Ombre Essentielle
There are two new Ombre Essentielle Eyeshadow Singles ($42 every, Chanel and Nordstrom) and for me these are the stand outs. I anticipated to like Brun Rose (a coppery rose shimmer) extra however Gris Rose (a lavender, gray, pink nearly multi-chrome shimmer) stunned me with the way in which it flashes pink! I swatched these subsequent to some different shades. They do have the same vibe to final yr’s assortment however they’re nonetheless totally different sufficient to justify. I believe these are price monitoring down!
Rouge Noir Mascara and Eyeliner
I like a monochromatic colour theme and I believe the Rouge Noir packaging is gorgeous! The Noir Attract Rouge Noir Mascara ($45 at Chanel) is a pleasant one however I believe the Quantity de Chanel Mascara is the superior system when it comes to Chanel mascaras. The burgundy tint of the Rouge Noir shade doesn’t actually present up on my lashes, it just about seems to be black.
The Stylo Yeux in Rouge Noir ($36 at Chanel) I acquired in my order may be a dud, however this one is also on the dry aspect, applies patchy on the arm and tugs the eyes to the purpose that it’s painful to use.
Les Pinceux Rouge Noir Brush Set
I used to be probably the most excited for the Les Pinceux Rouge Noir Brush Set ($153 at Chanel) as I like the equipment Chanel magnificence launches. It is a stunning set with brushes which can be effectively made. They do look extra machine minimize than the complete sizes however they’re very clean and I actually love them. There are two eyeshadow brushes which I truly already personal within the full sizes. The cheek brush seems to be like a brand new one and it is extremely VERY small. I do suppose it’s useable however a much bigger fluffier brush is far simpler to make use of for blush.
Spring Lip Colours
The lip colours on this launch are very daring and dramatic. They’re all exterior of my consolation zone however I wished to strive one thing new. Formulation are 10/10 for the Rouge Attract Velvet ($53 at Chanel and Nordstrom). I picked up a mauve shade Irreverente and a daring fuschia berry Effrontee. Sadly I really feel each are too cool toned for my pores and skin tone however the formulation are a strong A+ as these are a number of the finest velvet lipsticks I’ve tried.
The Rouge Attract Laque in Rouge Noir ($53 at Chanel) is a really darkish colour and requires some layering for a clean end. Because it’s very contrasted with my pure lip tone, one coat leads to a really patchy uneven end. Two coats will even it out to a clean utility. This shade can be not my shade, however given the cult standing of the Rouge Noir Le Vernis I wished to strive it.
Baume Essentiel
There’s a brand new Baume Essentiel in Cute ($50 at Chanel and Nordstrom). It’s a fantastic lavender pink colour however pulls very sheer. I swatched it subsequent to Lilas from a couple of years in the past. Cute is clearly much more pink, however because it’s so sheer it doesn’t actually give a lot colour payoff on the pores and skin. I want they’d have made this right into a lip gloss as a result of the colour is so stunning! Just like all the opposite earlier Baume Essentiels, that is balmy, dewy and doesn’t dry down.
New Le Vernis Shades
Final we take a look on the three new Le Vernis ($34 at Nordstrom) shades. Performer is a vivid raspberry pink, Moderniste is a deep cool gray and Rouge Noir is a darkish burgundy. I swatched these all with two coats. They’re stunning lotions however don’t actually really feel like a spring colour story and excluding Rouge Noir, I don’t actually see myself sporting these colours.
That wraps up my Chanel Spring Magnificence haul. General largely misses for me. Primarily as a result of truth the colour story isn’t actually me since I are likely to put on hotter and brighter shades. The 2 eyeshadow singles have been the one gadgets I used to be actually impressed with system and color-wise, however I do know a lot of you have been enthusiastic about this launch so should you find it irresistible, please don’t let my assessment break it for you!
On-line now at Chanel.com and Nordstrom. When you tried something from this launch I’m curious to listen to your ideas!
