In 1924, Gabrielle Chanel launched the house's first makeup products, the beginning of a century of creativity, excellence and innovation. The coffee table book 'Chanel. The Allure of Makeup' from publisher Thames & Hudson presents the history of Chanel's makeup creation - including advertising campaigns created by the world's leading photographers and film directors.

The story unfolds in seven chapters representing the essential colors of Chanel's visual vocabulary: Black, White, Beige, Red, Pink, Gold and Blue. Each chapter highlights the talents that define the lasting impact of the brand through the decades. Iconic products such as the black and white compact box or 31 Le Rouge lipstick in timeless red highlight the chapters and claim their rightful place in the pantheon of beauty. With unprecedented access to the Chanel archives, this book presents a wealth of visual material, from historical images of Gabrielle Chanel and rarely shown early product photographs to film campaigns starring legendary women.
