Lancôme Launches Cosmetics Collection with The Louvre

What happens when French cosmetics and classic art come together?

 

Iconic French institutions The Louvre and Lancôme invite consumers to pursue the dynamic dialogue between art and beauty in telling women's stories that echo times beyond eras, geographies and cultures in the modern world.

 

Launching Sept. 1, the collection includes a palette, serum and lipstick. The Lancôme x Louvre Richelieu Wing Palette ($89) celebrates the sculpture of Corine, Greek poetess of the 5th century BC presented in the Richelieu wing of the Louvre. The poetry of this palette created by Lisa Eldridge is inspired by the gallery’s magnetic light, punctuated by the relief of the sculptures and revealing their silent but astonishing beauty, according to the brand.

 

The Lancôme x Louvre Advanced Génifique Serum ($88) features the Goddess Hygie – the muse for the Lancôme x Louvre limited edition of Advanced Génifique. As a symbol of wellbeing, Hygeia is the inspiration for Lancôme’s advanced formula to help restore skin radiance. 

 

Lancôme x Louvre L’Absolu Rouge Drama Matte Lipstick ($35) is inspired by the four chosen muses within the art pieces of the museum.  

 

The collection is available at Lancome-Usa.com and Lancôme counters at Macy’s, Dillard’s, Nordstrom and Bloomingdales.
