For its latest limited-edition release, Chanel reimagines the iconic Les 4 Ombres palette with a couture twist. The new Les 4 Ombres Boutons collection pays tribute to one of the maison’s most symbolic details: the button. More than a functional fastening, the button has long been part of the house’s vocabulary, embodying Gabrielle Chanel’s love for the small yet striking elements that can define a look. Here, that spirit is captured in this exclusive collection of eyeshadow palettes.
Each palette is embossed with miniature motifs tied to the world of Mademoiselle Chanel. A camellia, a bottle of N°5, a comet, and quilted detailing sit across the powder surface like treasures, turning every application into a moment of artistry. These embossed “buttons” are as decorative as they are playful, making the collection as collectable as it is wearable.
Since its introduction in 1982, Les 4 Ombres has been celebrated for its elegance and versatility. This season, the palette returns with four distinctive harmonies, each designed to reflect a different mood.
Mademoiselle
Captures softness with light pink, peach, taupe and ivory beige—tender shades with a hint of mischief.
Baroque
Embraces boldness through magenta purple, glowing gold, soft pink and copper red—a reflection of opulence and drama.
Couture
Couture pays homage to the house’s codes with mauvy taupe, rosy beige, deep brown and purple brown—evoking tweed, quilting and the camellia.
Stellaire
Stellaire brings night-time allure with ashy beige, shimmering gold, copper and silver blue—a celestial blend designed to dazzle after dark.
Presented in the classic lacquered black case, the palette slips into a suedette sleeve embossed with a button motif — a final detail that underlines the theme. Paired with a sweep of Inimitable Mascara in Black, the look is elevated with minimal effort.
These palettes prove that make-up can be both effortless and expressive—a playful way to bring a piece of Chanel into every look. For more information and to shop the Chanel Les 4 Ombres Boutons, click here!
