Having thoroughly fallen in love with their gemstone brows, it only took a day to find something else to obsess over from Chanel’s Fall 2012 beauty offerings. Are you ready? It’s “Frenzy,” a pale mushroom shade that’s due on counters this fall. Just when we were about to claim exhaustion over neutral nail polishes, the Chanel effect hits. Hard.

Makeup artist Peter Philips chose the shade because it coordinated with the powder he applied to eyes and cheek—a lavender-taupe colour called “Notorious.” That may seem like an odd colour for blush but when you see it on, it works: Phillips created a look that’s so perfectly contoured it almost looks like the models were sculpted out of marble.
