At CHANEL’s Fall-Winter 2025/26 Haute Couture show, beauty took a quieter, more introspective turn. In perfect harmony with the season’s refined silhouettes and sculptural tailoring, the makeup emphasised elegance in a simple, sophisticated way. A look that focused on skin, softness, and thoughtful detail.
Gone were the theatrics. In their place: luminous complexions, taupe-tinted eyes, and velvety lips that whispered sophistication. This understated approach mirrors the dominant beauty narrative of 2025, where less is more and radiance is redefined as something quietly confident.
The result? A look that doesn’t demand attention, but holds it.
Recreating the Look
The beauty is in the details. CHANEL’s Fall-Winter 2025/26 Haute Couture look is a masterclass in modern refinement: soft, radiant, and intentional. Follow the step-by-step guide below to recreate the same luminous finish with poise and precision.
COMPLEXION
Start by perfecting the base using LES BEIGES TOUCHE DE TEINT (1), applied with the 2-IN-1 FOUNDATION BRUSH 101 (2) for a second-skin finish.
Target any unevenness with LE CORRECTEUR DE CHANEL (3) using the RETRACTABLE DUAL-ENDED CONCEALER BRUSH N°105 (4) for a seamless blend. To add dimension, sweep LES BEIGES – CRÈME BELLE MINE ENSOLEILLÉE (5) along the hairline, cheekbones, and jawline, mimicking a natural sun-kissed glow. With BLUSH BRUSH N°110 (7), tap JOUES CONTRASTE INTENSE ROSE RADIANT (6) onto the cheekbones, blending upward toward the temples.
EYEBROWS
Achieve polished, face-framing brows by first brushing your eyebrows into shape using the DUAL-ENDED BROW BRUSH N°207 (9). This essential grooming tool helps define the arch and tame unruly hairs with precision. Then, gently fill in any sparse areas with the STYLO SOURCILS HAUTE PRÉCISION (8), a retractable brow pencil that offers buildable colour and soft definition for a natural finish.
EYES
Apply the taupe shade (HR) from LES 4 OMBRES 308 CLAIR-OBSCUR (10) across the lids and along the lower lashes. Deepen the outer corners using the darker shade (LR) to create an almond effect. Blend using the DUAL-ENDED EYESHADOW BRUSH N°200 (11) for a diffused, lifted finish. Curl lashes with LE RECOURBE CILS DE CHANEL (12) and coat top lashes with multiple layers of LE VOLUME DE CHANEL – 10 NOIR mascara (13).
LIPS
For a refined, effortless lip, apply ROUGE ALLURE VELVET 77 AFFRANCHI (14), a soft matte lipstick that delivers intense colour with a beautifully blurred effect. Its velvety texture glides on smoothly, enhancing the lips with a diffused, contemporary finish. To elevate the look, dab a touch of BAUME ESSENTIEL TRANSPARENT (15) on top, adding a subtle sheen that catches the light and brings dimension to the lips.
A Study in Subtlety
This look may be pared down, but it’s far from simple. CHANEL’s nuanced take on beauty shows that true refinement lies in intention. Every detail, from the warm taupe eyes to the barely-there gloss, supports a bigger story: that modern glamour is about enhancement, not excess. This season, CHANEL proves once again that in the world of couture, elegance doesn’t have to shout; it simply knows exactly what to say.
