Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Gi your nearest and dearest beauty enthusiasts with one of these Christmas-themed skincare, makeup and fragrances that are inspired by the skies and its celestial bodies.

FLY ME TO THE MOON

Chanel pays tribute to its iconic No 5 perfume with a collection that draws inspiration from the moon and its phases. Give skin a natural bronze sheen with the Eclat Lunaire Oversize Illuminating Face Powder, which is embossed with the fragrance flacon encircled by the moon. Or dress eyelids in shades of copper and amber gold with the Les 4 Ombres eyeshadow palette in Ombres De Lune, also embossed with the house’s symbols set against the backdrop of the moon’s surface. Complete the look with Rouge Allure L’extrait lipsticks in warm red or brown, and slather your skin with the illuminating and scented No 5 The Gold Body Oil.

VOYAGE INTO THE SKIES

Diptyque turns to the heavens this festive season with A Map of Stars. A chart of white, gold and silver constellations decorates its three limited-edition seasonal candles, which offer scents of pine trees and wood fires. The house’s advent calendar is glow-in-the-dark and adorned with illustrations of the Milky Way. As for its Christmas fragrance Eau Rose, the bottle features subtle embossed roses with golden highlights and is housed in a dark red case studded with stars and letters. It also comes as a gift set with a hand cream.

SKY FULL OF STARS

The celestial world is captured in Cle De Peau’s Radiant Sky holiday range, which is a collaboration with Parisian jeweller Elie Top. His handdrawn night sky motifs feature on the collection’s products, which include the Luminizing Face Enhancer in 105 Shimmering Orb that’s made from finely milled synthetic opals, and the Eye Color Quad with red-brown earthy and meadow green shades embossed with stars. Other standouts are the lipstick mini set with mauve, pink and red shades, and a festive spin on the house’s most iconic product, The Cream.

GILDED OFFERINGS

A starry winter’s night at Monsieur Dior’s former residence – the Château de La Colle Noire – is the inspiration behind Dior’s holiday beauty collection. Dreamt up by artist Pietro Ruffo, a world of gold constellations decorates this year’s advent calendar with 24 mini-sized Dior beauty products that range from skincare such as the Capture Totale Super Potent Serum to makeup like the Rouge Dior 999. Other collector-worthy sets: this year’s Rouge Minaudière, and the Gris Dior Art of Living Ritual set, which includes the perfume, soap and 30 Montaigne scented candle accompanied by a snuffer.
