Seasonal Shift

Easing into the cooler days of fall calls for reparative skincare that soothes and a makeup change-up, too. These days, the Chantecaille women are tuning into healing, restorative treatments and a strong makeup focus on the eyes. Alex’s picks help her maintain a healthy glow; Olivia’s having a minimal, natural makeup moment; and Sylvie’s seeking to undo some sun-induced stress and wake up her eyes.

Let their personal picks guide you on your own beauty path.

Right now I need serious but gentle resurfacing as my skin is very sensitive after a summer in the sun. Retinol Intense+ is my go-to as it really smoothes imperfections without  irritation. Since we are wearing masks most of the time, my eyes need to look lifted and alive, which Rose de Mai Eye Lift does flawlessly. My favorite Luminescent Eye Shade in Rhino and Faux Cils Longest Lash Mascara (the best mascara ever) finish waking up my look. Lastly, the most exciting thing happening to my skin is the new Gold Recovery Intense Concentrate P.M. My skin is tighter and my pores have seemingly vanished—it is a real breakthrough and I am completely hooked!

“Sleeping in Gold Recovery Mask every other night has brought so much radiance to my skin. It balances redness and is a real post-summer healing mask for me. Using Radiance Elixir, sometimes before my foundation but often layered between a serum and cream, freshens my skin instantly—bringing lots of luminosity and a smooth finish. Future Skin gives me the confidence I like when wanting a bit more coverage on certain areas of my face. I love how complete yet lightweight and dewy the finish is. And I really cannot live without Lip Potion. I’d rather lose my cell phone than my Lip Potion!”

“I just want my makeup to feel super natural right now: I love Plumeria, one of Fall’s limited-edition Lip Veil shades, because it’s perfect for the minimal makeup mood I’m in right now. It’s the perfect hint of color but not sticky for those times when I need to throw a mask on over it. And since wearing masks puts a focus on the eyes, I find Cheetah is the perfect everyday Luminescent Eye Shade. It gives me a hint of color but I don’t feel ‘made up’—and it supports one of my favorite animals. Cheek Gelée in Happy gives me a natural, fresh flush. In terms of skincare, Nano Gold Energizing Eye Serum is a magic wand for tired, stressed eyes. The rolling effect is so soothing—I use it at night and then again in the morning to soothe and get rid of puffiness.”
