I Just Tried a Full Face of Chanel's Holiday Makeup—9 Timeless Products I Immediately Added to My Makeup Bag

Starting off strong, this may be my favourite product from the collection. A beautiful gift to receive, the extra-large compact will last forever, and the highlighter itself lends skin a beautiful frosty glow with a pink iridescence, which is really wearable. You can apply a delicate layer for a subtle glow, or layer up for more intensity for the evening. I like to sweep it onto my cheekbones, brow bone and the bridge of my nose to emulate an ethereal winter glow.

If you're yet to try Chanel's Rouge Allure lipsticks, take this as your sign to try one of the limited-edition shades from the collection. These refillable lipsticks have a beautifully moisturising texture that glides onto the lips with a luminous satin finish—it's like wearing lipstick with all the benefits of a hydrating balm. Choose from four shades: Rose Boreal (pearly pink), Orange Polaire (muted coral) Rouge Spectral (chic brick red) and Nuit Pourpre (a mysterious brown-purple).

Chanel's global makeup creative partner and makeup artist Valentina Li was inspired by starry nights and the mesmerising colours of the aurora borealis for the collection, and I can totally see it in this palette. These shimmering hues can be used to add a sheer veil of colour to the eyes and cheeks, and though they may look bold, they're very soft and layer-able, which makes them so easy to wear. The silver powder is particularly pretty, with a sheer foiled glitter that adds a touch of transparent sparkle to the lids as an eyeshadow topper, whilst the purple tone gives a delicate "just got in from the cold" flush to cheeks.

Chanel may have made me fall back in love with liquid eyeliner again. This waterproof formula does. Not. Budge. The fine-tipped, flexible nib allows for precise application and glides effortlessly along the lash line. I usually opt for black, however, the collection also includes Brun Feu, a warm brown-red (great for enhancing blue and green eyes) and Plum Mysteriéux, a deep purple which adds even more depth to brown eyes.

This ultra-luminous liquid eyeshadow makes me so excited to do a smokey eye again for the party season ahead. With a shimmering midnight purple finish, it illuminates the eyelids in a radiant halo of glittering light. You can apply a small amount and pat out with your fingertips for a sheer wash of colour, or layer it up for more intensity. Plus, these eyeshadows really do stay put, lasting for up to eight hours without creasing.

Chanel's Rouge Allure Laque liquid lipsticks are a party-season staple—especially if you're prone to dry lips during the winter. The glossy, shiny formula is hydrating whilst coating lips in a glassy lacquer that stays put for hours on end thanks to its water-resistant formula. There are two limited-edition shades in the holiday collection, and my favourite is Spells; a rich cherry red that suits everyone. If you like pink, try Cristal Pink; a shimmering fuchsia guaranteed to get you compliments.

Chanel's nail polishes are second to none, both in the range of shades and the long-wearing, glossy formulas. Story Teller, pictured above, is a lustrous deep, smouldering purple that almost looks black and is sure to become your go-to winter manicure shade. Think of it as the mysterious sister to the iconic dark-burgundy Rouge Noir.

Charmer, on the other hand, is the prettiest metallic pink, and it will easily see you through the season's festivities. I think it would look particularly pretty as a party-ready French manicure colour.

I audibly gasped when I saw these purse fragrances. Designed to be worn on your wrist or secured to your bag, you can take N°5 L'eau wherever you go. The set comes with three 7ml vials which are perfect for travelling.

Chanel's iconic N°5 bottle gets a dusting of snow for the 2024 holiday collection—a limited-edition collector's must-have for any fragrance fan.

Chanel baubles—need a I say more?

The purse fragrance also comes in an eau de toilette version, housed in winter white bottles with a silver chain.

Oh, to be the recipient of one of Chanel's golden Christmas cards.

For a touch of sparkle, this golden body oil will leave limbs beautifully scented and glossy over the festive season.

If you know someone whose signature scent is Coco Mademoiselle, you really cannot go wrong with this gift set, which includes both the eau de parfum and a body oil in the iconic scent.

Or for your nearest and dearest who loves N°5, treat them to this gift set with the matching body oil for mega Brownie points.
