Chanel Beauty is synonymous with the classics: red lipstick, nude nails, and pretty blush. But to usher in a fresh take on spring beauty trends, the luxury house is departing (or should I say diving?) from tradition with its Spring 2024 aquatic-inspired line.

Rather than have one makeup artist serve as creative director, the brand enlisted three—Valentina Li, Ammy Drammeh, and Cécile Paravina—to lead its Cometes Collective. These artists were charged with cultivating Chanel's era of experimentation while staying true to the brand's classic style. To do so, Li, who designed the first collection, infused it with a bold take on color.

For inspiration, Li turned to the colors of the ocean. "I remember the first time I saw rain when I was a child. I kept asking questions about the color of the water: why is the ocean blue and the river green? In doing so, I discovered that water and light are magical makers of color," she says in a press release. As such, the color palette of Li's collection reflects the luminosity of seashells, the glitter of sunlight on the ocean, the vibrant shades of coral, and the rich indigo of deep water.

Below, you'll find an array of coral-toned lipsticks, blushes, and nail polishes as well as the brand's just-launched eyeshadow singles and complexion palettes to summer-fy your makeup bag. Many of the new releases are already sold out, so shop fast—it's only a matter of time before they're all gone.
