Everyday Chic: Chanel styling and makeup you can try on your own!

I just love everything about this everyday chic look from Chanel in Vogue! The article is about Chanel’s global creative makeup and color designer Lucia Pica, pictured in a Chanel jacket, Margaret Howell scarf, and photographed by Daniel Jackson, for Vogue, September 2015.

Now, of course, that bold 90s inspired smoldering dark lipstick adds the edge. Try it! MORE: Quick Tips
