I recently had the privilege of providing makeup services for Chanel Media Talks, a distinguished corporate event hosted by the iconic French luxury house. Bringing together key speakers for a series of on-stage conversations, the event required a polished and considered beauty approach aligned with Chanel’s refined and timeless aesthetic.
Working with a heritage luxury brand such as Chanel is always an honour. Every detail matters from the overall presence of the speakers to how makeup translates under professional lighting and live audiences. My role was to prepare each key speaker before they stepped on stage, ensuring they felt confident, composed and impeccably presented.
Corporate event makeup differs significantly from bridal or campaign work. For stage environments like Chanel Media Talks, the focus shifts towards a more matte, perfected complexion. Intense stage lighting can amplify shine and texture, so the finish must be carefully balanced to appear smooth, sophisticated and camera-ready without looking flat. Skin preparation remains essential, but luminosity is controlled and strategically placed to maintain dimension while avoiding unwanted reflection.
The overall aesthetic for the event was understated luxury refined skin, subtle definition and effortless elegance. Makeup was designed to enhance natural features while maintaining a professional, modern finish consistent with Chanel’s elevated brand image.
Events of this calibre demand precision, discretion and a calm presence behind the scenes. Preparation time is often limited, and speakers require makeup that feels lightweight and comfortable while remaining flawless throughout appearances, photography and post-event engagements.
As a London-based makeup and hair artist specialising in luxury corporate events, I understand the nuances of working within high-profile brand environments. Whether preparing executives, ambassadors or guest speakers, my approach remains consistent: polished, sophisticated beauty that supports confidence and aligns seamlessly with the brand’s identity.
It was a pleasure to contribute to such a refined and inspiring event
