Celine (Instagram), a name synonymous with high fashion and timeless elegance, has ventured into the world of cosmetics with the introduction of Le Rouge Celine.
Created by Hedi Slimane, this new lipstick line is a luxurious addition to the brand’s prestigious portfolio. Launching in fall 2024, Rouge Triomphe, a stunning red, introduces the line. Le Rouge Celine aims to redefine beauty rituals with its high-end, meticulously crafted products and additional lipsticks will launch in 2025.
The creation of Celine Beauté marks the brand’s first foray into cosmetics, curated by the visionary Hedi Slimane. This expansion builds on Celine’s haute parfumerie collection introduced in 2019 and points towards Slimane’s blending of fashion and beauty. With the birth of Celine Beauté, the House is offering up a range of luxurious objects, each reflecting their refined aesthetic and commitment to excellence.
At the heart of this new venture is the Le Rouge Celine lipstick collection. This collection epitomizes the essence of Parisian elegance with its classic satin-finish shades. The flagship shade, “Rouge Triomphe,” comes in a faceted gold sheath embossed with the maison’s couture monogram, symbolizing a timeless feminine ritual.
Moving forward, Le Rouge Celine will offer 15 stunning satin-finish colors, including the classic nude “La Peau Nue”. Each lipstick is designed for precise and effortless application, providing long-lasting radiance and hydration. Composed of 89% natural-origin ingredients, the formula embodies Slimane’s vision of clean beauty without compromising on performance or comfort.
The lipstick’s delicate fragrance, reminiscent of a 70s rose and rice powder accord, pays homage to Slimane’s unique olfactory style, which permeates the entire Celine haute parfumerie collection. The satin-finish texture offers a sensorial experience akin to haute couture fabrics, enveloping the lips in a light, creamy formula that provides both comfort and structure. The refillable gold metal sheath, inspired by 18th-century French classicism and Art Deco minimalism, is a testament to Slimane’s design prowess and lipstick is encased in a black velvet pouch and presented in a white paper box with a grand siècle molding design, making it a truly luxurious object to own and cherish.
Le Rouge Celine is just the beginning. Each season will bring new collections designed by Slimane, encompassing a comprehensive range of beauty products including lip balms, mascaras, eyeliners, blushes, and nail polishes. This ambitious expansion ensures that Celine Beauté will continue to set new standards in the world of luxury cosmetics.
