I know I’m a bit late in sharing this Chanel Fall 2010 Makeup Collection with you but here it is. Gorgeously contrasting shades and Chanel sophistication in all its glory:

Sheer, natural-looking JOUES CONTRASTE Powder Blush ($42)— the blush that has attracted a devoted following for years — brings a modern freshness to cheeks with three new shades:

• Pink Explosion, a luminous pink
• Rose Temptation, a shimmering rosewood
• Plum Attraction, a bold glistening plum.

This lightweight powder glides on beautifully and wears for hours without fading or changing color.
My longtime favorite blush is Chanel Orchid Rose (I’ve probably repurchased this 5 times over the years, which is a lot for a girl with as many blushes as I have) so I’m thrilled to try the new Rose Temptation.

The new ROUGE COCO classic lip colour ($30) plays up innocence and femininity with three new shades to beautifully offset bold eyes:

• Chalys, a delicate coral
• Rose Dentelle, a tender pink
• Chintz, a soft peach

A glossy finish is achieved with the cult-favorite LÈVRES SCINTILLANTES Glossimer ($27) in four new shades:

• Petite Pêche, a pale peach
• Coral Love, a bright coral shimmer
• Rose Dilemma, a soft pink
• Teaser, a vivid pink

The essential LES 4 OMBRES Quadra Eyeshadow ($56) eyeshadow compact with unlimited options, now in Enigma, the bold new color harmony, features a shimmering peach, deep plum and two iterations of deep smoky grey.

Two new shades of OMBRE ESSENTIELLE Soft Touch Eyeshadow ($28.50) bring further depth to the season’s dramatic colour palette:

• Taupe Grisé, a chocolate grey
• Vert Khaki, a cool khaki green

Eyes become the focus when rimmed with a precise stroke or softly smudged line of STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF Long-Lasting Eyeliner ($28) in new Cassis, a pitch-dark plum.

And my favorite product of this release: LE VERNIS Nail Color ($23) in Paradoxal, a dark grey-violet that is sure to be the statement shade of the season.
