One of my earliest beauty memories is watching my mother swipe on a shimmery Chanel lip gloss. As a teenager, I’d save up my allowance and birthday money to purchase Chanel pressed powders, partly because the compacts were beautiful (and featured that iconic logo), and offered the most seamless, undetectable finish I could find. I quickly learned that Chanel beauty products—from the brand’s lipsticks to perfumes for women to eyeshadows—are some of the most luxurious and exquisite makeup and skin care pieces you could gift yourself.
According to Cyndle Komarovski, a US Chanel makeup artist, this is no accident. In her years working with the brand, Komarovski noticed the company’s insistence on using only quality ingredients and carefully designed packaging. “They are often crafted with a focus on combining the brand's rich heritage with cutting-edge technology to create timeless, effective, and sophisticated products with a twist,” she says. Plus, “the level of quality is apparent when using the products, both in efficacy and finish,” adds Kate Lee, another Chanel makeup artist.

Another bonus? The skin care formulas feel great on your skin and look wonderful on a vanity. You can use the makeup to create no-makeup-makeup looks or add some real drama without it ever feeling too over-the-top. And the fragrances? Classic and timeless.
