I stood in front of my vanity last week with six new Chanel products lined up like they were trying to convince me of something. The Les Beiges Coastal Summer 2026 collection is out, and I picked up almost everything except the Essentials basket set — which sold out before I could get to it.
Here is what actually earned a spot in my daily rotation.
Les Beiges Healthy Glow Eyeshadow Palette in Soft ($77)

This is the standout. The palette sits at $77 and gives you soft neutrals that deliver just enough color, definition, and a quiet glow. The pigment is on the lighter side, which I actually prefer — it builds gradually instead of landing all at once. The texture is buttery.
If you want an eye look that reads intentional without screaming for attention, this is it.
Rouge Coco Flash: Three New Summer Shades

The Rouge Coco Flash is my go-to Chanel lip formula right now. All three summer shades have strong pigment, which is rare for a tinted balm.
Sweet is the neutral and my personal favorite. Zesty leans tomato red. Fruity is plum — and apparently everyone else’s favorite, judging by your messages on this one.

Les Beiges Healthy Glow Blush in Sorbet + Highlighter in Summer Gleam ($56 each)

I love the concept here. Sorbet is a shimmery pink, and Summer Gleam is a pale pearlescent frost with just enough pink shift when light hits it. The colors are beautiful.
The application takes some patience though. Applying them directly over foundation tends to wipe off the base underneath. My workaround: mix blush and highlighter on the back of my hand, then press onto the cheeks. It works much better that way.

Le Vernis: Garconne and Baigneuse
Garconne is a sheer beige that matches skin so closely it gives mannequin hands. Some of you love it. I am still warming up to it. Baigneuse, on the other hand, is such a fun blue — I’m wearing it on my toes for summer.

Les Beiges Serum Concealer ($53)
This isn’t technically part of the Les Beiges color collection, but it launched alongside everything else this summer. It is one of the most glowy concealers I’ve tried. I tested B30 and B40 side by side — B30 works better for my BD41 Chanel skintone.
For comparison, I also swatched it next to the Chanel Ultra Le Teint Concealer Ultra Le Teint shades in action here. A full concealer roundup is still coming.
The Verdict
The eyeshadow palette and Rouge Coco Flash are easy wins. The blush and highlighter need that mixing step but the colors justify it. I’d call this a solid collection — not perfect, but nothing here feels like a reach for my wallet.
Style Math
Eyeshadow palette: $77 ÷ 40 wears = $1.93 per wear. That is a neutral palette I can see reaching into all summer long.
Is the Les Beiges Healthy Glow Eyeshadow Palette worth $77?
The pigment is soft rather than intense, so it suits everyday looks better than bold editorial moments. If you build color gradually and prefer a natural finish, yes — it earns its price.
How do I apply the blush and highlighter without disturbing my foundation?
Mix them on the back of your hand first, then press onto cheeks instead of sweeping directly over your face. It prevents dragging off the base underneath.
Where can I buy these products?
Available at Chanel counters and all major retailers including Nordstrom, Macy’s, and Bloomingdale’s. The Essentials basket set sold out quickly across most locations.
A note from Lena: I used to buy every new shade without thinking. Now I wait a week before deciding if something stays on my vanity. This collection earned four permanent spots.
