Les Intemporels de Chanel limited edition palette and nail colour

Is there anyone better at translating its brand ‘codes’ into make-up? I think not. Chanel has done it again with its new limited edition Les Intemporels de Chanel palette and nail polish, which pay homage to the classic 2.55 bag.

The five eyeshadows in the L’Intemporel De Chanel palette (£47) are embossed with the unmistakable chain motif, while the dramatic colours are an interesting choice – unapologetically intense shades of green and purple, the blackest of blacks, plus silver white and soft gold to highlight. They almost look like little jewels in a jewellery box…

For nails there’s Intemporel (£18), a molten silver designed to reflect the metal chain of the bag. To be honest, the collection suggests winter to me rather than spring, but I kind of like that Chanel goes against the grain. That said, these were the colours used for Chanel’s SS haute couture show and the effect in that was soft and pretty. I guess you can go either way – it’s all in the application.
