CHANEL

Chanel is the luxury brand that leans into subtle, skin-like finishes — think glossy lips, dewy skin tints, and balmy highlights rather than heavy pigment or matte formulas. The Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick is a standout for its non-sticky, Vaseline-free glow that multiple creators have repurchased. The trade-off: the Rouge Coco Flash lipstick, while beautifully balmy, can read gray and dull on some skin tones, and the price point ($72) is hard to justify for a formula that feels simple.
