The Sublimage Soirée

Harper’s BAZAAR Malaysia and Chanel Beauty welcomed a select group of guests for an exclusive, intimate exploration of the latest addition to its Sublimage skincare collection, the Sublimage L’Extrait Baume Regard, alongside the introduction of the House’s exclusive L’Extrait de Fascia technique. Bringing together the likes of Athisha Khan, Qalisha Ray and To’ Puan Syamim Farid, the gathering offered a closer look at the collection’s approach to skincare, where advanced formulations meet the art of application and ritual.

Explore Chanel’s L’Extrait de Fascia technique and Sublimage L’Extrait Baume Regard, introduced at an exclusive skincare gathering with Harper’s BAZAAR Malaysia.

Held across three sessions throughout the day, each gathering was intentionally kept small, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the Sublimage story and experience a new skincare gesture designed to complement the Sublimage L’Extrait de Nuit and the eye balm. Guests enjoyed hands-on introductions to the range, exploring its textures and application rituals, alongside a selection of Chanel Beauty’s wider skincare and make-up offerings. Among the standouts from the day was the L’extrait Huile Lèvres, the House’s intensive lip oil, which won the hearts of most attendees.

At the heart of the experience was the Sublimage L’Extrait Baume Regard, an eye balm that extends the repairing expertise of the Sublimage Les Extraits collection to the delicate skin around the eyes for the first time. Developed by Chanel Research, its formula combines polyfractioned Vanilla Planifolia and Himalayan Swertia extracts with a remodelling complex to support the skin’s structural network and natural repair mechanisms. While Swertia extract targets the skin’s repair processes, particularly at night, Vanilla Planifolia helps improve the quality of the skin’s structure.

Comprising 96% naturally derived ingredients, the balm has a velvety texture that envelops the eye area in a protective veil. With continued use, it aims to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles and under-eye bags, leaving the eyes looking more rested and expressive by morning. A golden applicator featuring ten microspheres completes the ritual, helping to massage the delicate skin and enhance the balm’s smoothing benefits.

The experience also introduced guests to L’Extrait de Fascia, an exclusive technique developed by Chanel experts and inspired by fasciatherapy. Performed alongside the Sublimage L’Extrait de Nuit, the sequence combines gentle stretching, gliding and holding movements across the forehead, cheeks, jawline and neck, encouraging a slower, more mindful approach to skincare. Each movement is repeated in rhythm with the breath, turning the evening routine into a moment of reconnection.

Through the new eye balm and this considered application ritual, Chanel Beauty offered guests a deeper understanding of Sublimage, demonstrating how the collection brings together research, sensory experience and the gestures that accompany daily skincare.
