The button that doesn’t close, it reveals.
CHANEL reimagines its legendary eyeshadow palette in a limited edition that unites beauty and heritage: LES 4 OMBRES BOUTONS. This exclusive creation brings together four perfectly harmonized shades, each delicately embossed with motifs inspired by the most emblematic buttons in the maison’s archive.
Each shadow is a miniature visual jewel. A symbol turned into color. A couture detail reinterpreted through the lens of makeup.
Yes, it’s an eyeshadow palette, but it’s also a story in miniature.

A structure with a story
Since its debut in 1982, LES 4 OMBRES has been CHANEL’s essential tool for shaping the gaze: four tones that move seamlessly between day and night, subtle and bold, intention and spontaneity.
In this edition, the classic formula, infused with mineral pigments, fine oils, and a velvety finish, is enriched by the maison’s visual language.
Each shade is embossed with a distinct symbol:
the camellia, the four-leaf clover, the star, the N°5 bottle.
The result? A palette that doesn’t just apply color.
It tells a story.
Four harmonies, one woman
The collection features four distinct palettes, each one a mood, a Chanel state of mind:
- Mademoiselle: ivory, soft pink, sheer taupe. A tenderness laced with intention.
- Baroque: magenta, wine, molten gold. An ode to cultivated excess.
- Couture: beige, deep brown, muted mauve. Like a tweed jacket for the eyelids.
- Stellar: silvery blue, earthy copper, luminous gold. For nights when the eyes do all the talking.
There are no formulas. Only choices. The gaze becomes a statement.
This isn’t just makeup. It’s micro couture
Each palette is conceived as a collectible object:
pressed with care, tactile, precious.
Like the buttons that once closed Gabrielle’s iconic jackets, these eyeshadows don’t just adorn, they awaken memory, presence, and quiet power.
At CHANEL, luxury isn’t measured in abundance.
It’s in the gesture.
The invisible detail.
That subtle clack of the compact, opening not just a case, but a new version of yourself.
Which button will you press today?
LES 4 OMBRES BOUTONS is not just another palette.
It’s an homage to the art of detail.
A silent manifesto of what CHANEL has always known:
true power lives in what seems small.
Because there are days to be Mademoiselle.
Others to shimmer like Stellar.
And then, the best days, the ones where you press every button at once.
