My winter makeup is smoky brown eyes and berry lips. It's the makeup uniform equivalent of a sweater, jeans and boots. Usually, Chanel's limited-edition holiday collections infuse luxury into my seasonal status quo. For example, the 2023 Lumiere Graphique eyeshadow palette is a mix of five black, brown, and silver shades, while the 2022 collection launched with a trio of berry lip stains.

But every routine needs disruption, and Chanel's 2024 holiday collection is a welcome departure from my usual; the 14-piece lineup, officially launched today on Chanel.com, is the winter makeup equivalent of resort wear. Instead of an overwhelming display of brown, mauve, and gold highlighters, this limited release is ripe with hot pink, bright orange, and peach tones. It is truly the incarnation of an island sunset.

The unexpected aesthetic of this collection has to do with Valentina Li, one of China's biggest makeup artists and the creative behind this limited drop. She is one of three rising stars tasked with bringing a “pioneering new chapter” to Chanel's seasonal beauty launches through the Comete Collective. With this very pink assortment, Lee's goal was to “warm up even the coldest of nights and infuse a hint of magic into every look.”

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Holiday 2024 collection before it launched. And while I'm all for the winter wonderland theme, I'm also convinced that this drop transcends the holiday season. To prove my point, I tested all the products. Here's my honest review of the best products from Chanel's latest release.
