With 2018 marking the Year of the Dog, many beauty brands have been working to ready products that celebrate the festivities that come along with the celebration of the Chinese New Year, with one of the most recent being the Monica Rich Kosann compact from Estee Lauder.
The gold compact is bedazzled with small white jewels, which are combined to create two small hounds that sit facing opposite directions. To add some more contrast to the compact, luxury jewelry designer Monica Rich Kosann adds bright ruby collars to each hound.
Inside of refillable gold compacts is a pressed power, which gives the skin a luminous but subtle finish. As the makeup has no color added, it works for all skin tones.
