Guerlain Russian Beauty Collection for Fall 2009

Guerlain Slavic Beauty/Russian Beauty Collection for Fall 2009

As Guerlain’s muse, Natalia Vodianova inspired Creative Director, Olivier Échaudemaison to conceive a warm, bohemian-inspired colour collection for the Fall. Olivier calls Natalia “an icon of colour that brings energy and cheer when the nights are long and the skies grey, and when the days are short and the sun away.” In effort to capture the radiance, warmth and richness that Natalia emanates, Guerlain offers a fall look defined by a fresh, smooth complexion, bright cheeks, eyes shimmering in a crimson glow and sparkling, rosy lips.

From Moscow with Love, Guerlain’s Russian Beauty Colour Collection includes the following permanent and limited edition products:

Eyes and Lips Palette “Volga Princess” ($69.00)
