Famously known for its classic as well as innovative beauty products, Chanel has long been a favorite among makeup lovers. While the luxury brand has primarily focused on developing makeup collections for the female consumer, it has recently announced a new makeup line dedicated to male beauty enthusiasts.
In a surprise move, Chanel will be launching a men-targeted makeup range dubbed BOY DE CHANEL. According to Bagaholicboy, the collection will make its debut in South Korea come September, before releasing in the rest of the world in January, 2019. Harper’s Bazaar also reports that the the products can be purchased internationally at Chanel’s website in November.
The inaugural BOY DE CHANEL launch comprises of three minimally-packaged products, including what the brand describes as a tinted fluid, which comes packed with SPF 25, as well as a lip balm and an eyebrow pencil. Both the tinted fluid and the eyebrow pencil will arrive in four different shades, but hopefully they’ll expand with a wider variety of color options in the future. Have your first look at the products in the gallery above.
