This year for the holidays, the Guerlain House is celebrating with some exceptional festivities. From 68 avenue des Champs-Élysées, Guerlain’s precious “Golden Bee” has taken flight with magical festive frenzy, spreading a path of golden enchantment that shimmers with sparkle as it goes.
With the Golden Bee collection, all the magic of the holidays can now sparkle with life. Think: a palette filled with magical pigments, a golden harmony of Météorites pearls. A unique Terracotta powder with golden light and precious Rouge G shades and cases in limited edition. After appearing on the Eau de Cologne Impériale bottle in 1853, bees became an emblem for Guerlain. Now the beauty of the House’s precious bee is enchanting each limited-edition creation in the Golden Bee collection.
“The whole joy of a makeup palette rests with its endless colour choices! Here, we’ve played with matte, silky-soft and iridescent textures as well as warm and cool colour harmonies. That means that depending on the mood, daytime makeup can become shimmering and sophisticated with the simple addition of some eyeshadow swept onto the arch or the inner corner of the eye.” Olivier Echaudemaison, Makeup Creative Director.
The Golden Bee Palette
Presented in an ultra-slim gold case, the new Golden Bee Palette contains all the essentials for any eye look. Inside you’ll find 10 eyeshadows in an array of natural colours for day, alongside more festive shades for evening. All divided according to three matte, iridescent or satin finishes. Consider it a secret essential to quell any colour craving – from the more discreet to the daring. As for the brush, it comes with a double tip for two types of application. While one end is made from foam for broad sweeps, the other comes with fibres for a more precise application, graphic lines. Left under the tree, this limited-edition palette makes for the perfect gift and a precious addition to any makeup collection.
The Golden Bee Météorites
For fans of Météorites pearls, Guerlain has created this new harmony. Taking the emblematic shades found in the 02 harmony, this limitededition has been enriched with the addition of a new gold-colour pearl. All contained inside a refined gold box with engraving that celebrates bees. The result is sublime. Fine mother-of-pearl create an imperceptible veil on the surface of the skin, leaving it seamlessly illuminated with golden glow. Once again, discover the magic of Guerlain’s Météorites pearls as they work to elegantly awaken the complexion’s infinite glow.
Terracotta Golden Bee
For the promise of a gorgeous complexion, even in midwinter, comes Terracotta Golden Bee. Applied over the high points of the face such as cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, chin
and forehead, its coppery tones brighten all complexions without exception – from the lightest to the darkest. This season, the highlighter comes presented inside a precious golden domed case.
Rouge G
To go alongside the new Rouge G cases in the collection, Guerlain has also created two exclusive new lipstick shades and an exclusive new top coat. The red shade is deep, bright and matte, yet comfortable. While the woody pink colour fuses its refined pigments to the lips with one simple stroke. Entirely precious from top to bottom, these two lipsticks come engraved with the bee symbol. Used alone or on top of a matte lip colour, the top coat with its diamond-like faceted lipstick, harnesses all the shine of a mirror, making lips shimmer.
As a nod to these magical foragers’ precious honeycombs, two new Rouge G cases scattered with precious rhinestones have been designed to complete this collection. The first, Golden Ruby celebrates the emblematic red and gold colour pairing used for the end-of-year festivities. The second, Golden Diamond, blends gold and silver shades for even more preciousness.
Rouge G Shiny Bee Prestige Edition
Ten years ago, jeweller Lorenz Bäumer designed and created the very first Rouge G lipstick, a true gem for lips. Today, with this limited edition, the artist has created Rouge G Shiny Bee, an all-new prestigious version of the original case. Scattered with sparklingly precious rhinestones that have been individually set by hand, this exceptional case celebrates the bee in all its splendour. You’ll find this beautiful homage in the form of a luxury object nestled inside a prestigious gift box which includes this new Rouge G case as well as the best-selling Rouge G refill in satin number 214. Only available for a limited-edition period.
