Gabrielle Chanel returned from her trips to Venice with a revelation: a newfound passion for Byzantine art that would profoundly influence the aesthetic of her creations. She used it as a rich, bold source of inspiration that is reflected in her haute couture designs and extravagant jewelry pieces, which she layered together and wore like talismans.

This season, the iconic LES 4 OMBRES palette by CHANEL has been reinvented in the form of sumptuous finery for the eyes, in a Baroque spirit inspired by jewelry that has been preserved by the House&rsquo;s Heritage Department. The look is powerful and sophisticated, its singularity perfectly mastered, its boldness embraced.

The shine of hammered gold effect, a gleaming sparkle like that of precious stones, saturated pigments: the LES 4 OMBRES BYZANCE palettes are jewels that both fascinate and entice. They embody a &ldquo;barock&rsquo; attitude&rdquo;, one that is deeply ingrained in the design codes defined by Gabrielle Chanel and that the CHANEL Makeup Creation Studio has revisited through an array of mesmerizing looks. This limited-edition CHANEL release adorns eyes with Byzantine splendor.

A jewel-toned palette in which deep shades of Ruby Red and Emerald Green are magnified by the luster of an Antique Gold and the iridescence of a Pearl White top coat.

A sense of opulence is conveyed through the glamor of a Yellow Sapphire and the purple dazzle of a Garnet, which are complemented by a Red Quartz and enhanced by a subtle Rose Gold top coat with a silver sheen.
