Chanel Magnificence Spring 2026 has arrived and appears to be promoting out quick! I ordered every thing sight unseen as quickly because it launched on-line. I shared swatches right here and after testing these for the previous week I lastly have my assessment. The gathering is out now at Chanel.com and Nordstrom.
In case you’re nonetheless in search of something that’s offered out on-line at Chanel every product web page has a “Discover in Boutiques” possibility hyperlink. I clicked and it brings up a listing of the Chanel magnificence boutiques which have issues in inventory. Nordstrom additionally has the shop locator per product web page, so I like to recommend utilizing the device to examine your native counters.
As a very long time Chanel magnificence lover I anticipated to like every thing on this assortment however I really feel there are some huge misses.
Rouge Noir Confidence Eyeshadow and Blush Palette
I had the best hopes for the Rouge Noir Confidence Eyeshadow and Blush Palette ($95, Chanel and Nordstrom) however have blended emotions primarily based on software. The 2 lighter colours apply effectively with a clean fairly end, however they disappeared from my pores and skin nearly the second I utilized them. The 2 darker shades go on the pores and skin very patchy and erratically. Even with loads of mixing they didn’t mix effectively. I attempted this a number of methods since my pores and skin is on the dry aspect now and I couldn’t get this to work for my pores and skin kind even with additional moisturizer and a hydrating basis beneath.
I haven’t learn different evaluations but however various you messaged me about this. Half of you like it, the opposite half additionally stated you additionally had some software challenges.
Swatched subsequent to Tendresse:
The colours are for positive stunning and ideal for a reasonably Valentine’s Day theme. For me this can be a cross. If the applying just isn’t completely clean or simple to mix, I’m going to say this can be a miss.
Ombre Essentielle
There are two new Ombre Essentielle Eyeshadow Singles ($42 every, Chanel and Nordstrom) and for me these are the stand outs. I anticipated to like Brun Rose (a coppery rose shimmer) extra however Gris Rose (a lavender, gray, pink nearly multi-chrome shimmer) stunned me with the way in which it flashes pink! I swatched these subsequent to a couple different shades. They do have an analogous vibe to final 12 months’s assortment however they’re nonetheless totally different sufficient to justify. I feel these are price monitoring down!
Rouge Noir Mascara and Eyeliner
I really like a monochromatic shade theme and I feel the Rouge Noir packaging is gorgeous! The Noir Attract Rouge Noir Mascara ($45 at Chanel) is a pleasant one however I feel the Quantity de Chanel Mascara is the superior components when it comes to Chanel mascaras. The burgundy tint of the Rouge Noir shade doesn’t actually present up on my lashes, it just about seems to be black.
The Stylo Yeux in Rouge Noir ($36 at Chanel) I obtained in my order could be a dud, however this one is also on the dry aspect, applies patchy on the arm and tugs the eyes to the purpose that it’s painful to use.
Les Pinceux Rouge Noir Brush Set
I used to be probably the most excited for the Les Pinceux Rouge Noir Brush Set ($153 at Chanel) as I really like the equipment Chanel magnificence launches. It is a stunning set with brushes which can be effectively made. They do look extra machine minimize than the complete sizes however they’re very clean and I actually love them. There are two eyeshadow brushes which I truly already personal within the full sizes. The cheek brush seems to be like a brand new one and it is rather VERY small. I do assume it’s useable however a much bigger fluffier brush is far simpler to make use of for blush.
Spring Lip Colours
The lip colours on this launch are very daring and dramatic. They’re all outdoors of my consolation zone however I wished to strive one thing new. Formulation are 10/10 for the Rouge Attract Velvet ($53 at Chanel and Nordstrom). I picked up a mauve shade Irreverente and a daring fuschia berry Effrontee. Sadly I really feel each are too cool toned for my pores and skin tone however the formulation are a stable A+ as these are a number of the finest velvet lipsticks I’ve tried.
The Rouge Attract Laque in Rouge Noir ($53 at Chanel) is a really darkish shade and requires some layering for a clean end. Because it’s very contrasted with my pure lip tone, one coat ends in a really patchy uneven end. Two coats will even it out to a clean software. This shade can also be not my shade, however given the cult standing of the Rouge Noir Le Vernis I wished to strive it.
Baume Essentiel
There’s a brand new Baume Essentiel in Cute ($50 at Chanel and Nordstrom). It’s an attractive lavender pink shade however pulls very sheer. I swatched it subsequent to Lilas from just a few years in the past. Cute is clearly much more pink, however because it’s so sheer it doesn’t actually give a lot shade payoff on the pores and skin. I want they’d have made this right into a lip gloss as a result of the colour is so stunning! Much like all the opposite earlier Baume Essentiels, that is balmy, dewy and doesn’t dry down.
New Le Vernis Shades
Final we take a look on the three new Le Vernis ($34 at Nordstrom) shades. Performer is a brilliant raspberry pink, Moderniste is a deep cool gray and Rouge Noir is a darkish burgundy. I swatched these all with two coats. They’re stunning lotions however don’t actually really feel like a spring shade story and aside from Rouge Noir, I don’t actually see myself sporting these colours.
That wraps up my Chanel Spring Magnificence haul. Total largely misses for me. Primarily as a result of reality the colour story isn’t actually me since I are inclined to put on hotter and brighter shades. The 2 eyeshadow singles have been the one objects I used to be actually impressed with components and color-wise, however I do know a lot of you have been enthusiastic about this launch so when you like it, please don’t let my assessment break it for you!
On-line now at Chanel.com and Nordstrom. In case you tried something from this launch I’m curious to listen to your ideas!
