# Textile-Inspired Cosmetic Packaging Clinique and Marimekko Collaborated on a Limited-Edition Range By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2018-01-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clinique-and-marimekko References: [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/Bdcq6ftHnm0/) & [clinique](https://www.clinique.com/marimekko) Cosmetics manufacturer Clinique and Marimekko, the Finnish textile and clothing design company, joined forces to create a limited-edition collection of products that focus on color and print. The limited-edition range pairs some of Marimekko's most celebrated patterned designs with lip gloss and lipstick shades from Clinique. While the Marimekko x Clinique Pop Splash Lip Gloss + Hydration offers shades like the nude Latte Pop and the high-shine, sheer pink Fireberry, the Marimekko x Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer comes in a more highly curated selection of colors that range from violet to deep red. As well as wanting to collect the individual shades for the sake a variety, consumers will also be drawn to the packaging, each of which celebrates a different pattern from the design house. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Limited-edition Collaborations:** Exploring partnerships with different industries to create unique and exclusive products can attract consumers. - **Print and Pattern Integration:** Incorporating bold and eye-catching designs into product packaging can differentiate a brand in the cosmetics industry. - **Color-curated Selections:** Offering a carefully chosen range of colors can appeal to consumers seeking personalized and on-trend cosmetic options. ### Who This Affects Most - **Cosmetics:** The cosmetic industry can explore collaborations with fashion, art, and design industries to create unique and appealing products. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can collaborate with cosmetics companies to leverage their prints and patterns in the creation of exclusive packaging and products. - **Design:** Design houses can partner with cosmetic manufacturers to integrate their iconic prints and patterns into cosmetic packaging, creating visually distinctive products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Patisserie-Inspired Beauty Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/este-lauder-x-ladure.md) - [Joyfully Patterned Collaborative Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-and-marimekko.md) - [Festive Beauty Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festive-beauty-packaging.md) - [Collaborative Vibrant Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-pucci.md) - [Playful Artist-Designed Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-isle-adventure.md) - [Indulgent Cherry-Themed Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tr-fr-and-tarte-cosmetics.md) - [Grocery-Themed Holiday Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benemart.md) - [Summer-Ready Lip Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tarte-cosmetics-1.md) - [Lollipop-Inspired Beauty Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-chupa-chups.md)
