It’s 2019, and by now, we’ve all acknowledged that makeup is genderless. Sure, most are specifically marketed towards females, but more and more men have inched towards embracing cosmetic products in their day-to-day lives, spurred by how simple extra steps to their grooming regimen can make a pronounced difference.
About Boy de Chanel
Chanel took a bold step to normalise the use of makeup among men by releasing Boy de Chanel, a dedicated range of cosmetic products specifically targeted at all the dudes seeking a natural, flawless visage on the daily. The products have since become an easy solution for men who want to look groomed without much fuss at all, with some even selling out in Chanel Beauty boutiques and online in Singapore.
What to buy from Boy de Chanel
With the philosophy that beauty is not a matter of gender but a matter of style, Boy de Chanel features an understated range of basic cosmetic essentials men can use without fuss. Each is crafted to enhance one’s natural features, with an undetectable finish that makes it impossible to tell that you’ve got any product on. These essentials are the Le Teint, Le Baume Lèvres, and Le Stylo Sourcils.
Le Teint is a standout by far. The sheer skin tint is available in four shades, spanning light to deep. The sheer fluid is peppered with fine powders that blur imperfections and pores without appearing cakey. Its formula also imbues a subtle luminosity to the skin for a healthy perk-me-up, especially on days where your skin needs a little resuscitation. Also, for the lazier guys, it contains SPF 25 protection, so you can skip sunscreen in your lean morning routine and still leave the house protected.
The other two products are a matte lip balm, Le Baume Lèvres, which hydrates the lips for eight hours thanks to the rich jojoba oil and shea butter in the stick, and Le Stylo Sourcils, a waterproof eyebrow pencil that comes in four shades and lasts for eight hours as well.
If you’re a man that’s always been curious about makeup, or someone who swears by it, then Boy de Chanel is the understated makeup line that will hit the sweet spot for either persuasion. You can purchase Boy de Chanel from Chanel Fragrance and Beauty boutiques, counters, and on the Chanel online store in Singapore. Prices are S$114 for Le Teint, S$55 for Le Baume Lèvres and S$62 for Le Stylo Sourcils.
Prices range from S$55 for Le Baume Lèvres and S$62 for Le Stylo Sourcils, to S$114 for Le Teint.
