Chanel Magnificence Spring 2026 has arrived and appears to be promoting out quick! I ordered every little 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 evaluation. The gathering is out now at Chanel.com and Nordstrom.
If you happen to’re nonetheless on the lookout for something that’s bought 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 instrument to verify your native counters.
As a very long time Chanel magnificence lover I anticipated to like every little thing on this assortment however I really feel there are some large 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 utility. The 2 lighter colours apply nicely with a easy 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 inconsistently. Even with numerous mixing they didn’t mix nicely. I attempted this a number of methods since my pores and skin is on the dry facet now and I couldn’t get this to work for my pores and skin sort even with further moisturizer and a hydrating basis beneath.
I haven’t learn different opinions but however a lot of you messaged me about this. Half of you like it, the opposite half additionally stated you additionally had some utility challenges.
Swatched subsequent to Tendresse:
The colours are for certain lovely and ideal for a fairly Valentine’s Day theme. For me it is a cross. If the appliance just isn’t completely easy or straightforward to mix, I’m going to say it is 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 identical vibe to final 12 months’s assortment however they’re nonetheless completely different sufficient to justify. I feel these are value monitoring down!
Rouge Noir Mascara and Eyeliner
I 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 system by way of 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 facet, 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 essentially the most excited for the Les Pinceux Rouge Noir Brush Set ($153 at Chanel) as I like the equipment Chanel magnificence launches. This can be a lovely set with brushes which can be nicely made. They do look extra machine reduce than the complete sizes however they’re very easy and I actually love them. There are two eyeshadow brushes which I really already personal within the full sizes. The cheek brush seems to be like a brand new one and it is vitally VERY small. I do assume it’s useable however a much bigger fluffier brush is way simpler to make use of for blush.
Spring Lip Colours
The lip colours on this launch are very daring and dramatic. They’re all exterior of my consolation zone however I wished to attempt 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 greatest 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 easy 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 easy utility. This shade can be not my shade, however given the cult standing of the Rouge Noir Le Vernis I wished to attempt it.
Baume Essentiel
There’s a brand new Baume Essentiel in Cute ($50 at Chanel and Nordstrom). It’s a gorgeous 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 might have made this right into a lip gloss as a result of the colour is so lovely! Just 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 shiny raspberry pink, Moderniste is a deep cool gray and Rouge Noir is a darkish burgundy. I swatched these all with two coats. They’re lovely lotions however don’t actually really feel like a spring shade story and except for Rouge Noir, I don’t actually see myself sporting these colours.
That wraps up my Chanel Spring Magnificence haul. General largely misses for me. Primarily because of the reality the colour story isn’t actually me since I are likely to put on hotter and brighter shades. The 2 eyeshadow singles have been the one gadgets I used to be really impressed with system and color-wise, however I do know a lot of you have been enthusiastic about this launch so in the event you like it, please don’t let my evaluation destroy it for you!
On-line now at Chanel.com and Nordstrom. If you happen to tried something from this launch I’m curious to listen to your ideas!
