Marchesa for Le Métier de Beauté: The First Collection
In possibly the most glamorous collaboration I’ve heard about in ages, haute fashion brand Marchesa has teamed up with luxury beauty line Le Métier de Beauté to create Marchesa for Le Métier de Beauté. (Creative naming there, guys.)
On the few occasions I’ve dipped into Le Métier makeup, it has been so incredibly, over-the-top fabulous that I’ve practically felt guilty using it–as if I should instead simply display the items on my vanity. The textures are always finely-milled, the packaging sleek, the colors intense, vibrant and sophisticated. It’s the Grace Kelly of makeup.
The packaging itself was directly inspired by Sandra Bullock’s silver bugle Marchesa Oscar dress from last year’s awards, and the collection features two full-face palettes created by Marchesa’s co-founders and designers, Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig.
