Chanel is introducing a comprehensive cosmetics series named the Rouge Noir Collection. This launch effectively expands its signature deep garnet shade into a full range of products for the eyes, lips, cheeks, and face.
Developed under the creative direction of Ammy Drammeh, the Rouge Noir assortment includes a limited-edition eyeshadow and blush palette, several luminous matte lipsticks, a mascara with a deep red formula in updated packaging, and a new tinted highlighting balm. All of these offerings are unified by a color theme that explores variations of red, black, magenta, and mauve-brown tones.
The Rouge Noir Collection's inspiration is cited as the iconic lining of the brand's 2.55 handbag and is presented with a thematic narrative emphasizing duality, allure, and individual expression.
