Chanel is preparing its Holiday 2026 Makeup Collection, titled Chanel Winter Village and inspired by St. Moritz, with a launch reported for 15 October 2026. Pricing has not been announced.
Status: Unconfirmed — leaked images. Chanel has not officially announced this collection. Product names, shades, packaging and release dates may change.
The lineup takes its cue from the snow-dusted streets and gondola-lined slopes of St. Moritz. It includes festive 31 Le Rouge lipsticks, lip glosses, an eyeshadow quad, a gold liquid liner, an oversized illuminating powder, a blush, hand cream and nail polish. Details come from newly surfaced campaign imagery, earlier promo shots from Asian beauty accounts and Japanese magazine features.

Update (30 September 2026): Beauty insiders report that the Chanel Holiday 2026 Winter Village collection will launch in the second half of October 2026, and one source gives 15 October. A second report places the launch between the second half of October and early November 2026. Chanel hasn't confirmed a date, price or retailers yet.
The Winter Village Campaign
The campaign depicts a snow-covered alpine hamlet with chalets, ski breaks and the maison's signature gondolas gliding through the village. The gift campaign uses wintry imagery and wrapped gift boxes, with hero fragrance and body pieces styled into the snowy scene: N°5, Coco Mademoiselle body oils and the 31 Le Rouge lipstick. The makeup collection is designed to sit within the same story.
Products, Swatches & Packaging
The lineup combines core Chanel formulas with limited-edition pieces:
- 31 Le Rouge (three festive editions): balm, satin and matte finishes in sheer white, pink and red. They come in clear-and-white cases with gold trim, housed in a quilted white magnetic sleeve.
- Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss: shades 462 Givré and 464 Étincelle, plus a Trio Set that adds the exclusive shade 817 Aura and comes with a fluffy white drawstring pouch. The glosses are white-silver, gold and peachy pink, and swatch as glassy washes with fine sparkle.
- Les 4 Ombres 39 Ombres d'Or: Nuvole di Bellezza lists the shades as warm taupe, pearly pink, brown and golden champagne. Earlier images suggested a taupe, pearly white, pale champagne and deep brown line-up. The quad has an embossed compact and a soft white case.
- Le Liner de Chanel 554 Éclat Doré: a metallic gold liquid liner.
- Neige d'Or Oversized Illuminating Powder: a white-gold highlighter embossed with a ski-lift and pine-tree scene. It comes with a matching white pouch.
- Joues Contraste Intense Mont Rose: a satin rosewood blush with script embossing pressed into the pan.
- La Crème Main: the egg-shaped hand cream, with a soft knit pouch featuring a gold Chanel logo.
- Le Vernis: two lacquers, 445 Blanc Alpin (snowy white) and 447 Scintillance (gold).
- Sublimage Le Concentré Lumière: a 15 ml liquid highlighter with fan brush, listed alongside the collection by Nuvole di Bellezza.
Shade Names to Watch
A Japanese swatch card lists the three 31 Le Rouge editions as Blanc Éternel, Rose Enchantée and Rouge Féerique. They move from sheer white through soft coral pink to bright cherry red. Earlier transcriptions from katakana spelled two of the names differently, so treat spellings as unconfirmed until Chanel publishes an official list.
How It Compares with Previous Releases
The colour range of soft neutrals, pink blush and gold shimmer follows the palette Chanel has used in previous holiday collections. Nuvole di Bellezza notes that this year pairs gold with snow white, cool pinks and wood-toned browns rather than traditional red-and-gold festive motifs. The main differences are in presentation: the quilted lipstick sleeve, the soft white pouches and the embossed Neige d'Or pan.
We'll update this post as soon as Chanel confirms the release date, pricing and full shade list.
