The Biarritz Escape: Chanel Les Beiges Coastal Summer Has Arrived
Luxury is a feeling. Specifically, it feels like a sun-drenched morning on the shores of Biarritz. As the beauty editor for Style Cartel, I constantly hunt for that “oo” moment. Chanel Beauty delivers exactly that with the new Les Beiges Coastal Summer collection.
Launching nationwide on 5th May, this line celebrates the great outdoors. It offers comfort, elegance, and a natural result. Forget heavy foundations and matte masks. We are embracing the “Billionaire Glow” this season.
Why Chanel Beauty Defines Modern Luxury
Chanel consistently masters the art of sensorial formulas. They create products that feel like a second skin. The Les Beiges philosophy focuses on health and radiance. It does not hide your features. Instead, it enhances your natural beauty with Parisian precision.
Chanel Les Beiges Coastal Summer
The 2026 collection balances raw seaside energy with high-end sophistication. These products work for every woman. They offer hydration for mature skin and a juicy finish for the trend-conscious.
Key Pieces: The Summer 2026 Silhouettes
The standout is the Healthy Glow Summer Essentials Set (£217). It arrives in a collectable mini woven basket. This “summer treasure” includes the Rouge Coco Flash in Sweet and a luminous Highlighting Powder.
For the eyes, the Healthy Glow Eyeshadow Palette (£62) captures shifting coastal light. Think soft pinks, chocolate browns, and sandy camels. Meanwhile, the Liquid Blush (£46) in Sorbet or Nectar provides a water-infused, fresh finish. It mimics the flush of a day spent by the ocean.
Top Five Luxury Beauty Tips for Summer 2026
- Prioritise Hydration: Use water-infused formulas like the Chanel Liquid Blush to keep skin plump.
- The “Glazed” Lip: Opt for high-shine finishes like Rouge Coco Flash for a youthful look.
- Tubing Mascara Only: Use the Volume and Definition Mascara to avoid smudging in the heat.
- Cool-toned nails: Try Baigneuse, a stunning aqua blue, to reflect ocean vibes.
- Strategic Highlighting: Apply the Summer Gleam highlighter only to the high points of the face.
Mature Skin & Lifestyle: The Healthy Glow Edit
Healthy skin is a lifestyle choice. For mature skin, avoid heavy powders that settle into lines. The Les Beiges liquid formulas are perfect for maintaining a dewy, youthful texture. Always apply your SPF first. Then, layer the Healthy Glow Highlighter for a lit-from-within effect. This collection celebrates grace, legacy, and effortless charm.
The Style Cartel Verdict
This collection is a summer essential for any discerning tastemaker. It brings the holiday to you. Whether you are in London or Biarritz, Chanel ensures you look radiant.
