Chanel's Creative Director of Make-up, Peter Philips, has created a new short-film for Make-up Confidential. (If you've never visited this digital magazine, you must take a look, it's content is very creative and innovative!) The teaser video, entitled 'Miroir Miroir', has been designed to preview the brand's five new Rouge Allure Lipstick shades which are set to launch on the 14th September 2012.
Inspired by a mirror-embellished coat from Chanel's Paris-Bombay pre-fall show, Philips revealed that the 'mirror look' isn't a mask, the crystals and mirrors were individually applied onto the face in no less than four hours!
So, how did make-up maestro Philip's come up with the surreal, mesmerising concept? "I was mainly inspired by an editorial makeup I did a few
years ago. It was a composition of pieces of crystals and mirrors that I
applied on a girls face. We did some amazing pictures, but I always
felt a bit frustrated that we never captured this makeup in movement. I
loved the sparkling, hypnotizing effect, which, unfortunately, you
partially loose in a still image. When the idea of doing a film around
the lipsticks and Paris Bombay Show started growing in my head, The
concept complimented the shades and the hypnotizing, psychedelic aspect
fitted well with the Indian theme."
To highlight the new lipstick collection, he kept the rest of model Inguta Butane's make-up minimal. "I kept the eyes almost naked. I only curled the
lashes, applied Ombre Essentielle in “Ivory” and our “Clair” khol liner
on the eyes, and that's it. On the lips I applied 5 different, new
shades of Rouge Allure lipstick: Pimpante, Excentrique, Enjouée,
Exaltée, Palpitante."
