The way a
famous perfumery origins or a cosmetic brand or a Fashion House is the kind of mystery
and secret shrouded in myths and beliefs enveloped with fancy, gossips and
attitude of people who will apply these products. The history of Chanel House is
all about a Woman, Chanel №5, a red lipstick and a little black dress. These
are four elements which the brand is based upon. The elements complementing
each other like perfume, Chanel cosmetics and apparel show the fastidious
picture of the eternal beauty and youth made by the great and legendary Coco
Mademoiselle.
Back to the past
There is not
a person in the world who can tell to a certainty on the reasons why the reputed
designer and the legendary owner of the brand Chanel created the cosmetic
products under their brand name. The thought-provoking theme was the business
expansion into the adjoining cosmetic sphere. On the other hand, there is a legend
which tells that Coco thought of creation of the decorative cosmetics line from
the day when she visited Hollywood.
So, Coco Mademoiselle was involved in creation of costumes for several feature
films and she had the chance to observe the Hollywood
celebrities who abused makeup in the majority. And it was in Hollywood when she came with the idea to
create cosmetic products to correspond three major requirements she followed,
like femininity, comfort and usability and sensitiveness.
All these components
matched a red lipstick in color and shape, being the new product by Chanel. The
red color is drastic for Coco Chanel as well as the number five. She benefits when
she becomes the first official to represent her own cosmetics showing terse and
even austere makeup though the red lipstick was the symbol to complete the
image.
Some time later
in the 30s Mademoiselle creates the whole palette of subtle and tender lip care
products packed in comfortable containers along with face and body care
products like scrubs, balms and creams.
Cosmetics by
Coco in XXI century
In the XXI century
Chanel corporation launches a wide assortment of decorative cosmetic products including
mascara, lipsticks, lip gloss, eyeliners, primers, rouge, powder, foundation
and many other items. All the products come in a specially designed packing of
higher quality.
The specialists
from Chanel House first used light-reflecting pigments which make the face
smoother and correct the color of particles and their intensity. This creates
the effect of natural glittering when the skin shade changes in regards to the
illumination and the foundation is chosen to match the complexion. The base, rouge
and lipsticks are estimated well by women. Russian and European celebrities showed the
favor for the Chanel cosmetic products.
The range
of products including foundations, compact and loose powder, correctors and
rouges go for the class of professional cosmetics unlike the other products of
decorative cosmetic line Chanel. The indifferent and negative report on some
labels of Chanel mascara occurs more often than it is expected. It may be the
matter of taste though the Chanel products evoke the two faceted opinions
lately in regards to its quality.
The face
and body skin care products made by Chanel are also well-known to the wide
public. Fragrances of this brand are highly appreciated by the admirers of
delicate scents. The shape of bottles are perfect; they are incredibly
comfortable and practical, feminine-like, they will give joy to glamour divas
and ordinary mature women will also be pleased with the appearance of their
perfume.
As for the
effect onto the skin, there is a belief that all those creams, scrubs and
mousses are better to purchase from the manufacturer who is specialized in the
production of this particular label.
Chanel House
cannot boast with researches held for many years to prove their high
qualification and perfection of products, and thus, the company exploits the
results achieved by the competitors which are quite distrustful in regards of
regular customers of this brand. However, there are many enthusiastic women
about the cosmetic products for face and body due to the effect of placebo or
the individual tolerance or some particular component of these products.
The pricing
policy of Chanel products is high to refer it to the elite cosmetic brand. So, the
30 ml cream costs from 25 to 40 евро, and it takes you 30 to 42 USD for a lipstick from legendary Coco.
