This new limited-edition makeup collection launched last month in July, and was created by Ammy Drammeh, a well-known make-up artist. Themed Jardin Imaginaire, it’s her first launch with Chanel’s Cometes Collective, which was conceived in 2022 and has collaborated with other makeup artist like Cécile Paravina and Valentina Li. Drammeh joins these artists in launching their own makeup collections, yet her collection is filled with garden rich colors of electric greens, vibrant oranges, fuchsia pinks, and violet blues. And it’s these colors that make the collection unique and desirable.
“I wanted to build a bridge between reality and fiction. I was inspired by fairytales and stories that describe nature as an enchanted place saturated with color, where flowers resemble jewels and where harmonious light reflects the most surprising textures. I wanted to add unexpected vibrant nuances and treat each color like a tool, to be used with skill,” explains Drammeh in collection notes.
Gold and Peach Complexion Creation Blush and Highlighter Duo $75
Created to reflect the sunset, it highlights a woman’s complexion giving a golden hour-eque glow. This duo creates a coral hint to the skin, offering something other than a pink tone- though we have nothing against pink!
Shimmering Le Vernis- Songe d’Été $32
It’s as if there is a pink pearly hue on the nail like a delicate pink rose in a garden. What’s great about this color is that it will match with almost any outfit, and complements well year-round.
Dreamy Stylo Ombre Et Contour- Célestial Pink $38
You See the bold metallic colors in the eyeshadow. There are seven new shades from Atadecer, which is like a tiger orange to Néon Dahlia that’s like a metallic-y violet, and Dream Leaf which is a bold lime green. But it’s Célestial Pink that wins our hearts because it’s versatile with the ability to match with many outfits and looks.
Baume Essentiel- Solar Glow
Great for darker skin tones, its coppery color “elevates the complexion,” while for lighter skin tones it gives a tan hue on the skin, perfect for these last weeks of summer.
