Dior has launched its holiday 2013 collection, inspired by the magnificence of Versailles. Filled with rich shades of pink and gold – the brand’s most signature colours since it launched in 1947.
Versailles was always an important source of inspiration for the iconic designer, from its amazing architecture and detailing to gardens and fountains.
The hero product of the holiday collection is the Diorific Perfumed Illuminating Powder, a delicate powder with pearl extract included. When applied to your cheekbones, the tiny pearl and gold particles give a stunning luminescent, rosy sheen. It also smells wonderful, with a hint of J’adore.
Lipstick shades include Diva (ruby red), Etoile (frosted beige), Joy (glossy rosewoor), Royale (red gold), Winter (raspberry brown) and Minuit (dark fuchsia). Available in both matte and metallic pigments, the lipsticks give lips more volume with a velvety touch. If ultra gloss is your thing, add Dior Addict Gloss to your wish list: the product is available in sparkling fuchsia or pink with gold micro sequins.
My must-have product is the iconic 5 Coleur eye shadow, in Golden Flower (shades of golden brown, copper and peach) or Golden Snow (shades of snow white, gray and purple). The luminescent colours are sure to stun at any holiday party!
Dior holiday Golden Winter 2013 products are available from November 6, 2013.
