When the seasons change, it's time to switch up your makeup as well as your wardrobe. When summer rolls around, consider being bold...in a sheer way. Chanel's Summer 2014 Makeup Collection launched a few weeks ago and is full of pretty lip glosses and coordinating nail colors, sparkly cream shadows and a few surprise pops of color for the eyes. The palette of orange, pink, purple and bronze is a perfect match for the soon-to-be sweltering heat (did we mention the mascara is waterproof and will stay put on even the most humid of days?).
Our favorites? The cream shadow in 'mirage', a shimmery bronze, paired with the bright bronze waterproof eyeliner and the purple mascara (don't worry, it's subtle). And to top it all off? A swipe of lip gloss in 'happy', a sheer bright pink that won't get sticky or goopy. Head on over to your local Chanel counter and try on the colors for yourself!

| Chanel's cream shadows are perfect as a base for the rest of your eye makeup but they also look great by themselves. The Summer 2014 Collection features two very sparkly versions - 'uptopia' (far left), a light purple, and 'new moon' (center), a red-brown that really catches the light. Our favorite is 'mirage', a shimmery bronze that looks perfect with a tan. |

| Mascara doesn't always have to be black - Chanel opted for a fun summer color in 'violet touch' which is a subtle purple shade that helps lengthen and separate your lashes while the waterproof eyeliner in 'ambre dore' is a gorgeous shade of bronze that looks great by itself or when layered over a black or brown liner. |

| It wouldn't be summer without lip gloss and the best part about these is that there's no sparkle or shimmer - just sheer pops of color that are beyond flattering. Great by themselves or when paired with your favorite lipstick, these are sure to be one of the most popular items in your purse. From left to right: 'hello', 'happy', 'sexy' and 'sunny' |

| Summer is the perfect time to update your nails too! Chanel has re-invented the French manicure: try painting your tips in a fun color (we like 'tutti fruti' (center) or paint a coat of white all over your nail and then add a second coat in color to the center, leaving a white border for a fresh update ready for the beach. From left to right: 'eastern light', 'mirabella', 'tutti frutti', 'pink tonic' and 'sweet lilac' |
