How To: Inspired by Chanel's Rouge Coco Ad

inspiration
Chanel Rouge Coco

The moment I saw this ad, I ripped it out of the magazine, and immediately had to recreate it. It's a quick, simple, and pretty look. It's also great for those of you who rarely wear or don't want to wear a lot of makeup. I used all drugstore products to replicate the look, but I believe Ms. Agren is wearing Chanel Rouge Coco in Candeur ($32.50). It takes around 5 minutes to do--seriously! Here's how to do it:


H O W  T O:
  • Start off by applying concealer & foundation to a clean face. I used Physician's Formula Youthful Wear because it gives a smooth surface, similar to the inspiration photo. I also used a light shade to look similar to the ad, but when I wear this look out, I wear a shade that matches my tan.
  • To further enhance a smooth visage, I brushed on the ELF HD Powder. It comes with a puff, but I used a huge powder brush to apply.
  • For the peachy pink cheeks, I dabbed Hard Candy Cheek Tint and rubbed it in. Feel free to use the lipstick of your choosing as the blush. I was on a cosmetics shopping ban when I wrote this, and was trying to use up my stuff!

  • It appears as if she's wearing eyeliner in the picture, so I used a gel/cream liner and smudged with a brush. Use a makeup cotton tip applicator if no brush.

  • Apply a couple of coats of mascara. I used the Maybelline Mega Plush Volume Express, but any volumizing mascara will do. I can do a review on this mascara, if interested.

  •  Finish up with a lipstick or gloss that matches the Chanel photo. I used ELF Hypershine Gloss, which is similar to Stila's Lip Glaze, but is only $1.

No, that's not a mug shot! 
That's my best Serious Model Face, 
and another reason why I try to avoid posting pics of myself.


I know what you're thinking...TWINS!
But seriously, the colors are the same in person.
Try it out & send me pics!






PS: Today would've been my Sugar's 96th birthday. She passed away in January & I miss her so much. Just keep me in your thoughts today. She would've loved the pink makeup!

  4. I must say that I tried this at home and I didn't turn out as pretty. I may have to switch to Maybelline.

  7. Love the look, though my skin tone being a very Indian one, can't possibly play with these colors. But yes, great basic technique...

  21. Hi Elle, I love your last two posts. When I get out of the hospital I will try this look, I think it is so perfect for summer.

    With regard to your last post...I have been using those "bun cheaters" for years!!! I love them. They work so well. And I also just discovered smaller ones that are perfect for my daughters that are younger and have less hair. I hope the ladies will try this because they can make for a messy bun look or a more refined Audrey Hepburn bun look. Love it, take good care,

    Shauna. Xoxoxoxoxoxo
