Chanel presents the LES 9 OMBRES collection Three limited edition eye palettes created by the Cometes Collective team

There is a moment, in the history of beauty, when color ceases to be mere ornament and becomes a language. That is precisely what happens with LES 9 OMBRES, the new limited-edition eyeshadow palette collection by Chanel, an encounter between art and intuition, matter and light, gesture and vision. With LES 9 OMBRES, Chanelinvites us to explore a new chromatic universe built on freedom, expression, and sophistication. The collection was born under the sign of the Comètes Collective, a group of emerging talents chosen by the Chanel Makeup Creation Studio to breathe new life into color and redefine the very concept of luxury eye makeup. Three names, three distinct personalities, three unique perspectives on the world. Ammy Drammeh, Cécile Paravina and Valentina Li have shaped three palettes that tell different stories, yet share one common vision, that of a femininity that is aware, creative, and without boundaries. LES 9 OMBRES thus becomes a sensorial experience, an invitation to play with light and to rewrite one’s allure every day.

LES 9 OMBRES: three palettes, three visions

The LES 9 OMBRES collection presents itself as a triptych of high-intensity eyeshadow palettes, each with its own chromatic identity and distinctive character. The three variations, The Daring Muse, The New Singular, and The Space Traveler, embody three facets of modern femininity: bold, intellectual, and dreamlike. Each Chanel palette contains nine highly pigmented eyeshadows that play with light through matte, satin, metallic, and shimmer textures, for endlessly customizable results. The powders blend seamlessly into the skin like a delicate veil, allowing smooth transitions or striking contrasts depending on the occasion and the mood. From warm, sensual shades to mysterious lunar reflections, each palette becomes a tool for self-expression through color. This is the true essence of Chanel LES 9 OMBRES, a refined invitation to experimentation, where technique meets intuition.

The Daring Muse (847) by Ammy Drammeh

Audacity and grace coexist in The Daring Muse, the eyeshadow palette created by Ammy Drammeh. The artist draws inspiration from the magnetic power of strong women, those capable of turning every gaze into a statement of intent. Her vision translates this energy into a symphony of colors: deep greens, rich reds, pearly blues, and rose-gold reflections that capture light with disarming elegance. The result is a makeup look that vibrates with emotion. Each shade tells a story of character, a way of being, a desire for freedom. The Daring Muse is not merely a palette, it’s a story of empowerment and seduction, designed for those who see makeup as a form of personal art. As Drammeh herself says, “makeup opens the door to infinite possibilities,” and in this creation, every hue becomes a key to a new dimension of femininity.

The New Singular (848) by Cécile Paravina

With The New Singular, Cécile Paravina brings art into makeup. Her approach is that of a painter exploring matter and light, creating subtle contrasts and unexpected chromatic dialogues. The palette is an ode to eclecticism, featuring shades that shift between the softness of matte peach, the depth of satin violet, the freshness of matcha green, and the sophisticated neutrality of ashen brown. Paravina draws inspiration from architecture, mineral materials, and the luminosity of jewels, composing a perfect balance between discipline and creativity. Each shadow is designed to blend harmoniously with the next, offering endless combinations,  from the most natural look to the most spectacular. The New Singular invites women to discover their uniqueness and the thousand ways to express it. It is a Chanel eyeshadow palette for those who love to experiment, reinvent themselves, and change every day while remaining true to their essence.

The Space Traveler (849) by Valentina Li

Finally, Valentina Li takes us on an interstellar journey with her palette The Space Traveler, a creation inspired by science fiction and dreams. Here, color becomes celestial matter: cosmic blues, golden oranges, pearly lilacs, and duochrome greens form a constellation of reflections that seem to come from another planet. Li envisions makeup as a multisensory experience, a bridge between reality and imagination. Each shade evokes the light of stars, the depth of the sky, the wonder of outer space. The final effect is hypnotic, makeup that merges intensity and transparency, mystery and poetry. The Space Traveler is the most visionary of the three palettes: a cosmic dream enclosed in a sleek black case, inviting us to transcend routine and dare with light.

A limited-edition statement of style

“I want to be part of what happens,” wrote Gabrielle Chanel, anticipating with these words her eternal drive toward the future. It is precisely this spirit that animates the artists of the Comètes Collective, called to imagine the beauty of tomorrow with audacity and authenticity. The latest result of this meeting of minds and talents is LES 9 OMBRES, a celebration of feminine vision and the power of color as a means of self-expression. The collection stands out for its essential design, velvety texture, and impeccable visual impact. Each eyeshadow palette is enclosed in an oversized, minimalist case that holds silky-smooth powders which blend effortlessly, allowing looks that evolve with the light of the day. CHANEL experts suggest playing with the various finishes, a matte base to define, a satin tone to deepen, a metallic touch to capture the light, to sculpt and enhance the gaze with refinement. Available in limited edition, the collection can be purchased on chanel.com and in selected CHANEL boutiques.
