My love for the French beauty line Chantecaille goes way back. When a glamorous Angelina Jolie was snapped applying the brand’s lip gloss at the 2011 Golden Globes awards, I had to make it mine. While we don’t all have the actress’ legendary pout, the sheer, sultry gloss (which she applied without a mirror) was that covetable. So, it was unsurprising that Gwyneth Paltrow also regularly rocks the same beautiful gloss on the red carpet — it’s a beauty insider hero! Not one to gatekeep, I’m sharing my long-time beauty love affair. Even better, the gloss is available at Nordstrom!
Chantecaille’s bestselling Brilliant Lip Gloss has an ultra-hydrating, high-shine formula. It’s that elusive non-sticky gloss that makes lips sensual and plump without any sting. Available in a range of wearable shades, it’s perfect over lipstick and magical on its own. Jolie has worn Love, a baby pink, and the nude hue Charm in the movie Salt.

For Paltrow, celeb makeup artist Georgie Eisdell uses a full face of Chantecaille on the Iron Man actress for events like the Golden Globes and premieres. After prepping her skin with the complexion-perfecting Rose de Mai Face Oil and creating a smokey eye with my favorite Luster Glide eyeliner, the finishing touch is Brilliant Lip Gloss in Modern, a subtle beige. It’s a universally flattering shade that works with any makeup, and Eisdell has also created bronzed beauty looks for Paltrow using the same color.
A-listers are hardly the only ones infatuated with the long-wearing gloss — shoppers give it lots of love, too. Chock full of antioxidants, reviews say things like, “I wasn’t sure it would be worth the price but I was pleasantly surprised. This is now my favorite lip gloss and I am buying other colors. I usually use Laura Mercier but it’s a little sticky. This isn’t sticky at all! It is perfect! The color Charm is basically just a little tint — looks like clear gloss on me and I love it.”
Over the years, Chantecaille’s luxe skincare products have also become my must-have staples, including the anti-aging Bio Lift mask, which shoppers say makes your skin look like a “baby’s behind!” Additionally, the clean, cruelty-free French beauty brand supports environmental and endangered animal causes. So, with every purchase, you give to charities as well — a win-win if there ever was one.
Shop the French cool-girl brand yourself — and gloss on like a star!
