Like many luxury beauty brands, Guerlain is also releasing a special holiday collection — the 'Tales of Wonders' capsule. These offerings draw thematic inspiration from the art of paper folding. The origami motif is, thus, applied to the packaging and design of Guerlain's high-end product casings.
The 'Tales of Wonders' collection includes limited-edition shades — the "Le Rouge Étoilé, a deep garnet red, and the Le Nude Songe, a rosy nude," as well as the Météorites Midnight Glow’s best-selling 'Cool/Rosé 02' harmony, the 'Ombres G' eyeshadow quad, and the lip oil 'KissKiss Bee Glow Oil' in 'Sparkling Peach' and 'Sparkling Rosewood' shades. The brand paid meticulous attention to detail for the packaging and even included distinctive engravings on the lipstick bullets of its new limited-edition shades.
