FRANCE. Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) Beauté has unveiled its End of Year Holiday 2008 make-up items, which began rolling out into travel retail this month.
The Bow Collection reinterprets a symbol and motif that the late designer wove into many of his couture creations. The overall look was created by Val Garland.

Festive make-up from YSL Beauté: the new End of Year Holiday 2008 Bow Collection | |
The advertising visual features model Coco Rocha hidden behind a thick fringe of hair. Her laughing lips are defined with an intense, plumping lipstick; her fingers linger on the black satin bow tied around her neck.
The Bow Collection features one “must-have” accessory, according to YSL – the Palette Duo pour les Lèvres (Duo Lip Colour Palette), priced in travel retail at €45.34.
This limited edition takes the form of a matte gold butterfly adorned with a sparkling bow, which opens its wings to reveal two festive lip colours: a raspberry red and a lighter pink gloss.
The palette also includes a small mirror, applicator brush and twisted black cord for accessorising a handbag or belt.
Another key item of the Bow Collection is the Touche Eclat Collector limited edition (€26.71). YSL’s best-selling illuminator/concealer has been repackaged in a black velvet pouch, trimmed with a satin bow, for the party season.
The collection also includes new shades of Golden Gloss, Rouge Pur lipstick and La Laque nail polish, priced at €19.21, €19.80 and €16.41, respectively.
