In the depths of night, when the sky burns with orange bursts of light and the world turns inward, CHANEL looks to the stars. There, amid the infinite hush of the cosmos, the spirit of Gabrielle Chanel lingers a woman who once trusted the heavens to guide her fate. “I wanted to cover women in constellations,” she once said. Superstitious, visionary, and instinctively modern, she read her destiny not in cards but in light.
This festive season, the CHANEL Makeup Creation Studio, in collaboration with Cécile Paravina, a member of the Comètes Collective invites us to gaze upward once more. Together, they create Holiday 2025: Winter Constellation, a universe suspended between darkness and brilliance, restraint and extravagance. Inspired by the grandeur of the night sky, the collection celebrates the beauty of endings and the promise of rebirth a luminous ritual for a year drawing to a close, only to be born anew.
Orbiting within this celestial universe are five of Mademoiselle Chanel’s cherished talismans: the lion, the camellia, the comet, the wheat, and the pearl. These emblems, each drawn from moments of her own mythology, now return as radiant symbols of power, grace, destiny, prosperity, and light. They gleam across the surface of the collection, linking past and present through the quiet language of stars.
At the heart of the makeup collection, Les Signes de Chanel captures this celestial geometry through duos of blush and highlighter powders. Each compact is embossed with the House’s five astral symbols, transforming makeup into a ritual of radiance. Rose Lumière reveals the tender luminosity of dawn with a soft bluish pink blush paired with a pearly white pink highlighter. Pêche Lumière, warm and sunlit, evokes the glow of sunset with orangewood hues enhanced by a veil of pearly gold. The powders melt into the skin like soft starlight, creating a luminous reflection that feels both intimate and infinite.
