Chanel has become one of CHANEL’s most loved lipstick shades in recent years. Already popular among beauty lovers, it gained even more attention after being shared widely on social media in Japan—and it’s easy to understand why.
After wearing it myself, the popularity makes complete sense.
The first thing I noticed was the texture. It glides on effortlessly—smooth, light, and comfortable from the first swipe. It feels less like a traditional lipstick and more like a tinted lip balm, which makes it easy to wear every day without overthinking it.
Like the rest of the Rouge Coco Flash collection, the shine is beautiful but natural. It gives the lips a healthy glow without feeling heavy or sticky, and it stays comfortable throughout the day.
Shade 116 is a soft muted pink beige. Gentle, slightly dusty, and incredibly wearable. It blends naturally into the lips without looking too bright or too pale, which makes it flattering across different skin tones. Rather than making a statement, it softly lifts the whole face.
It’s the kind of shade I reach for when I want to look polished—but not overly made up.
This is not a long-wear lipstick, and that’s part of its charm. It fades softly and naturally, and I usually reapply it after meals or throughout the day without thinking too much about it. It feels easy, relaxed, and elegant.
Personally, I find myself reaching for it on days when I want just a little colour and freshness, without looking like I tried too hard.
If you love lipsticks with soft shine, comfort, and a natural finish, CHANEL 116 is a beautiful everyday choice—quiet, timeless, and easy to return to.
