The AnOther Magazine 'Christmas Beauty Box' editorial might not center around typical boxed gifts, but the idea is there. In place of wrapping paper, bright bows and cardboard boxes, the team used [simple colorful pieces of masking tape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clash-royale) as the perfect stand in. This creates a minimalist and stylish vibe for the [luxurious still life scenes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreams-express). Not to mention that the tape doesn't overpower what really matters: the gifts inside.

Shot by photographer Alexander Kent, the AnOther Magazine 'Christmas Beauty Box' editorial featured the styling of set designer Sarah Parker, who was assisted by Florence Arnold. Presenting the [ultimate beauty wish list](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-beauty-kits) way ahead of the big day, the photoshoot showcases products from the likes of Eight & Bob, Balenciaga Paris, Comme des Garcons, Yves Saint Laurent and Dolce & Gabbana.
