Why Chanel Didn’t Conceal Tear Troughs This Season

At Chanel’s latest runway, the makeup was whisper-light—barely-there base, glossed lips, minimal color, and softly brushed lashes. What stood out most to me as a pro? They didn’t hide the models’ tear troughs. Here’s why that choice works: 📌 Over-concealing that area often adds texture and weight, totally clashing with a luminous, sheer complexion. 📌 Tear troughs are anatomical—they’re the natural curve of the eye socket. You can soften shadows, but filling them entirely usually looks unnatural. 📌 A glowing base and healthy color on the lips/cheeks do more for fatigue than spackling over every line. Honestly? It's refreshing to see a brand not obsessed with erasing every flaw. It shifts the focus from perfection to realism—something we need more of. Is this for everyone? Maybe not. But if Chanel can normalize tear troughs on a runway, we can definitely stop stressing about them on the daily. #beauty #makeup #runwayinspo
