Chanel brings its cult shade Rouge Noir to the 2026 beauty collection

The red that changed make-up is back in 2026. For Chanel, the Rouge Noir hue is a blend of heritage and modern desire. What’s more, the pieces focus on the coherence of textures and gestures.

Rouge Noir 2026: codes, expectations and timetable

Rouge Allure Velvet Exclusive Creation Lipstick Rouge Noir 2026 is softly matte, without drying out sensitive lips. Exclusive 2026 promises a deep, stable color, designed for the light at the end of the day.

Rouge Allure Laque returns in a duo of exclusive shades, with controlled, long-lasting shine. At Chanel, the lacquer is worn as a veil, then as a thin second coat to seal in the long-lasting shine.

Rouge Allure Velvet limited edition relies on clean application and light comfort. The stick glides on smoothly and sets the color, while limiting unplanned touch-ups.

“The Rouge Noir shade knows how to frame a face and sign a style, without shouting or blushes.”

Lips and balms: nuances, textures and gestures

Baume Essentiel uses Rouge Noir accents to sculpt facial contours. The stick captures light on cheekbones, Cupid’s bow and eyelids, with a measured mirror effect.

Baume Essentiel Rouge Noir is priced at €66.20, with a nomadic texture that melts on contact. Chanel makes touch-up simple and discreet, even between busy meetings.

• Take a small amount of material, then layer with fine, targeted touches.
• Alternate matte and gloss finishes for balanced, photo-friendly relief.
• Match burgundy with cool undertones, or warm it up with blush.
• Fix the lip lacquers by dabbing a tissue to remove excess.
• Seal with a scratch-resistant top coat.

The limited-edition multi-use balm nourishes, shines and tames dry areas without overloading. It also acts as a quick base for eyelids, intensifying powders and boosting hold.

Nails and eyes: intensity and targeted hold

Nail Polish Rouge Noir remains a chic, graphic and sober benchmark for all hands. Two thin coats plus a top coat provide stable shine, without visible marks or bubbles.

Mascara Noir Allure arrives in a garnet hue, designed to enlarge the eye and awaken the iris. At Chanel, the brush even captures the inner corners, for controlled, precise volume.

Mascara Noir Allure in Rouge Noir shade structures lashes one by one, without clumping. A zigzag movement from the root maximizes density, then stretches the fringe outwards.

The limited-edition Allure mascara offers a more classic alternative, ideal for a sober routine. The formula is layered in two strokes, without weighing down or stiffening the supple finish.

Pencils, monos and precision gestures

The Waterproof Eye Pen traces a precise burgundy, useful for discreet and effective tightlining. As a result, it lasts all day, even on demanding combination skin, according to Chanel.

The limited-edition Eye Pen complements the mascaras with a softer line that’s easy to blend. It also blends quickly with a beveled brush, for a smoky halo that lengthens the eyes.

Ombre Essentielle offers a mono shade that’s easy to modulate, as a solid or in the outer corner. What’s more, a nude base under the shade prevents late creasing, while reinforcing intensity over time.

Pallets and accessories: the final touch

Rouge Noir Confidence in quartet and blushes combines harmony and portable practicality. So you can go from a shaded eye to a warmed complexion, without changing cases or multiplying brushes.

The exclusive Confidence Palette capitalizes on well-calibrated warm and cold accords. At Chanel, the idea is simple: simplify the morning’s choice, thanks to fixed, coherent harmonies.

The collector version of Rouge Noir Confidence adds a more pronounced, luminous satin finish. The calibrated pigmentation avoids photo retouching, while retaining a generous blending margin.

The trio of brushes unites complexion, eyes and lips to travel light, without compromise. From now on, Chanel’s signature accessory reduces gestures to the essentials, and structures a quick but precise routine.
