The French luxury label has unveiled a new spring/summer 2018 makeup collection inspired by the many facets of Naples, from its diverse landscapes to its cultural heritage and symbols. The "Neapolis: New City" collection is out now in Chanel boutiques, accredited retailers and at www.chanel.com.

With this new makeup collection, Chanel's Global Creative Make-up and Color Designer, Lucia Pica, was inspired by her hometown of Naples, taking a fresh look at this Southern Italian city and its rich and vivid history. This gives rise to colors evoking the city's nature and landscapes, from the volcanic scenery of Mount Vesuvius to the waters of the bay, as well as its architectural heritage. With green, yellow, gold, red and black, Lucia Pica creates a diverse color palette to test for spring/summer 2018.

Like each season, the collection centerpiece is the eyeshadow palette. Here, the "Les 9 Ombres - Edition N°1: Affresco" compact palette features matte, metallic and satin-finish shades, ranging from green to rusty brown, taupe, greenish grey, bright gold and beige.

Adding to eyes, Chanel has released its iconic "Ombre Première" eyeshadow in "Crème Verderame," an ashy green-gray shade with metallic sparkle. "Mascara Dimensions" comes in "Nero Metallo," a metallic blue-green, and "Stylo Yeux Waterproof" eyeliner comes in "Nero Vulcanico," a deeper, more intense blue-green shade.

The French brand also brings innovation to its "Neapolis" collection with "Poudre à Lèvres," a product that completely reinvents lip color. Each "Poudre à Lèvres" compact features a pressed powder pigment and a clear hydrating balm, allowing the powder to adhere while remaining weightless. This is applied with a finger or an applicator for buildable color. Three shades are currently available: "Rosso Pompeiano," "Rosso Parthenope" and "Rosa Tempera."

Chanel classics come in new colors to increase options for lips, with "Rouge Allure" lipstick in "Vibrante" or "Incantevole" and "Rouge Allure Velvet" matte lipstick in "L'Aristocratica" or "L'Indomabile." Chanel's "Rouge Coco Gloss" and "Rouge Allure INK" lip colors get new shades too, with softer or more vibrant options.

This season, nails go bold at Chanel with "Le Vernis" in pastel pink, mint green, sunny yellow and vibrant orange shades. For skin, Lucia Pica proposes a simple blush, with "Joues Contraste" in a pinky old rose shade.
