Wearing CHANEL Spring/Summer 2019 makeup colours — by makeup artist Clarence Lee and model Fiona Fussi

For the first time since joining the brand, CHANEL’s Global Creative Make up and Colour Designer, Lucia Pica draws inspiration from Asia to create the colours and textures seen in an entire makeup collection — Spring/Summer 2019. Yes, you can definitely expect shades that flatter Asian skin tones, and yes, this makeup range is going to be an instant hit in this part of the world.

While discovering the collection in Tokyo, I had the privilege of working with celebrity makeup artist, Clarence Lee, to create three makeup looks on model, Fiona Fussi. My brief to him was simple: use the fancy eyeshadow palette with the 9 colours, and keep the final looks wearable.

below: For the FIRST look, we shot this pretty early in the morning, so fiona’s eyes were still looking a little sleepy; add the winter breeze in tokyo, and we have one very cold-looking model. (note: i refuse to photoshop fiona’s eyes/face to make them into something they’re not.)
TO “WAKE UP” THE EYES, CLARENCE used two shades from the eyeshadow palette: the satiny gold and matte beige, then added a slick of mascara to “open” the eyes.
