Gucci Is Relaunching Its Makeup Line With 58 Shades of Lipstick

Italian fashion house Gucci already dominates the fashion space, and is now expanding its sphere of influence into beauty. After first launching in 2014 and then disappearing, Gucci Beauty is making a highly anticipated comeback.

There’s something quite satisfying when a fashion house launches make-up – just look at brands like Armani, Burberry and Louboutin – so when Yakymour heard Gucci Beauty was making a comeback, we sat up.

This isn’t the Italian fashion house’s first foray into the world of luxury beauty though. It originally first launched products back in november 2014 when Frida Giannini was creative director (she was responsible for the green dress J-Lo wore on the cover of W magazine in 2013, and who was known for her glam Seventies vibe). The high end label dropped the collection of 200 lip, face and eye products under a partnership with Procter & Gamble. But when the P&G sold the entirety of its beauty portfolio in 2016, the brand halted its expansion within the space.

The products weren’t around for long though, but now Gucci Beauty is back with a vengeance. The new cosmetics line is part of the brand’s partnership with Coty, and the launch was officially announced today (3 May) in New York. This new drop reflects Michele’s on-going commitment to both the beauty space and a formidable eye for business growth. For the campaign, Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele tapped Dani Miller, lead singer of Surfbort, and close friends and models Mae Lapres, Achok Majak, and Ellia Sophia – all were present and dressed the chic-rocker part (in Gucci, of course).

So lipstick lovers, brace yourselves. The Italian fashion house is releasing a new lipstick range. Inspired by Old-Hollywood, the 57-piece collection, envisioned by the brand’s creative director Alessandro Michele, arrives in the most romantic tube designs.

Lipstick is the most beautiful object you can find inside a handbag. It is the most fascinating because it has always had a beautiful scent — we made Gucci lipsticks perfumed with violet. Lipstick is a playful object because it recalls crayons that children colour with. Lipstick also symbolises the world of cinema, and all the famous lips from Hollywood.

Alessandro Michele

Michele, who launched Gucci’s new fragrance family to much acclaim, explains he was inspired by the vintage glamour of the Fifties, specifically ‘Hollywood divas and the mythology of cinema, which first put lips in the spotlight’. This is reflected in the names of the lipstick shades, from Jean Harlow to Greta Garbo to Bette Davis.

Gucci Rouge à Lèvres Satin

The range includes 36 shades of the Rouge à Lèvres Satin with a satin finish, 18 luminous shades Rouge à Lèvres Voile, and lip balms in three colors and one transparent variant – Baume à Lèvres.

Gucci Rouge à Lèvres Voile

A very special shade for Michelle is the one called 25 Goldie Red, which pays tribute to a Hollywood character named Goldie Red that he used to admire as a child. 25 is said to be Michelle’s lucky number. All of the finishes have a subtle violet scent. The lipsticks retail for $38 each.

Gucci Baume à Lèvres

As for the packaging, the new lipstick bullets come in Instagrammable gold tones featuring Art Deco geometric motifs as well as turquoise and ivory colours adorned with pink rosebuds. The one consistency for every Gucci lipstick is a golden base.

Gucci’s new lipstick line drops exclusively on Gucci.com on May 4, then in Gucci’s Fifth Avenue store on May 5, the Gucci beauty store in Saks Fifth Avenue on May 6 and Gucci’s Wooster Street store on May 13, and it’ll be available in Harrods and on Harrods.com from 28 May. The rollout will continue in select doors worldwide.

And this is just the beginning. The fashion house has also revealed that new products for eyes and face are in the making! Come into the beautiful world of Gucci.

 

 

 

 

Must-watch: Tiffany & Co’s new fragrance campaign

 

From coveted jewellery collections to creating a haute home and accessories line, Tiffany & Co. have shifted their focus to the olfactory world with a must-have scent.

We talked about it before here on Yakymour. Coveted jewellery brand Tiffany & Co is set to start another journey and this time it’s into the olfactive industry with the launch of a new Eau de Parfum. Available this fall, the namesake fragrance bottle’s the brand’s signature style symbolised with notes of patchouli, musk, mandarin and iris, complete in a bottle that’s been inspired by the Tiffany diamond – one of the trending stones this season.

Captured through the lens of critically acclaimed fashion photographer Steven Meisel, the new scent – which added a pop of colour to its monochrome campaign, thanks to the signature Tiffany Blue hue – is seen carried (and scented) by models Julia Nobis, Achok Majak, Vittoria Ceretti, and Georgina Grenville.

The four women are then captured lip-syncing to a cover of The Beatle’s All You Need Is Love (see the video below), sung by St. Vincent – who also fronted Tiffany & Co’s There’s Only One Jewellery campaign.

Tiffany & Co.’s new fragrance is available now on Tiffany.com
