The beauty looks on the Chanel Cruise 2022 runway mirrored the collection: simple glam mixed with a heavy dose of rebellion
Inside limestone quarries of Provence’s Carrières de Lumières was Virginie Viard’s interpretation of punk rock glam at Chanel’s Cruise 2022 show, where she presented a collection of rock chic looks inspired by the French maison's close relationship with artist Jean Cocteau.
On hand to ensure that the beauty direction was nothing but bold was Chanel’s Creative Makeup and Colour Designer Lucia Pica, who used the luxury fashion house's products.
The rebellious hair and makeup were unmistakable: eyes were outlined in black, hair was spunky yet sexy, cheeks were covered with bright blush and lips were kept subtle. But it was the contrast of luminous and almost glass-like skin with dramatic eyes that made the Cruise 2022 beauty looks absolutely striking—enough for us to want to recreate every single trend spotted on the runway.
Below are some of our favourites—and the easiest to follow.
Heavy Eyeliner
Pica made sure to take punk rock beauty to the next level and he clearly had fun with the amount of eyeliner used on the models. There were streaks upon streaks of dark kohl to form imperfect winged looks on the models. It’s absolutely dramatic and can intensify any makeup look that you’re going for, and it’s especially fun to pull off during a pandemic when our peepers are emphasised under face masks. Be sure to smudge your eyeliner with a small brush (or your finger) for a sexy, smoky vibe. Use a brown eyeliner for a softer shade.
