This is the perfect smile, according to Gucci

Gucci has recently launched a new lipstick collection that’s been praised for its bold campaign images and message, which reinforce the brand’s inclusive stand on beauty and personal empowerment. 

The new Gucci Beauty Line begins its journey with a 58-piece piece lipstick collection and 3 formulations including Lip balms, satin and sheer. Ideated by the one and only Alessandro Michele, the creative director describes this collection as a manifesto of beauty as he sees makeup as a tool to help express a person’s inner character and personality. 

“ Makeup is something poetic and fleeting that you can add to your face, changing or highlighting something about yourself. I find it an almost magical language, strongly linked to the other details I use for the expression of the self, such as jewellery and a hairstyle. Of all these aspects needed to emphasise or underline an aspect of ourselves, makeup is the most immediate and the oldest way, making it the most fascinating,” Michele recently said of the collection. 

 Inspired by the golden ages of Hollywood, Michele’s vision is presented on women’s lips, with a mix of 80s aesthetic and playful and quirky elements.“I thought back to the lipsticks I saw in my life, when I was little, my mum’s lipstick, who was always inspired by the 50s, and I wanted to give it the most powerful meaning, that of the Hollywood divas and the mythology of cinema, which first put the lips in the spotlight,” he said of the main influences behind his creations.  

The new line includes pretty much everyone’s go-to lipstick shade and some more eccentric options a là Michele.  Let’s be honest, with so many options, it’s hard not think of a Gucci’s Pre-Fall 2019 collection piece that could best accompany the new lipsticks and that complete the Gucci aesthetic that the new creative director has already made iconic.
