Dazzling. Flamboyant. Provocative… She has no time for the commonplace and the garish. She loves to lose herself in a party ambiance.
Free from conventional displays of glitz, the Yves Saint Laurent
woman shimmers and radiates with an inner fire of seduction. Her face sparkles with myriad shades of precious golden light. Her evening attire? An Yves Saint Laurent black chiffon dress, simply draped over her bare skin.
Stylish in every detail and passionately Couture, she wears a touch of gold here and there as a subtle highlight or a bolder flash of colour... with hues of copper, blue-grey, platinum or pink. Pure gold, or alloyed with a shadow of crimson or bronze… she sees colour as a perfect accessory, like her Belle de Jour “Metallic Colorama” leatherette clutch in burnished gold.
With one gesture, she highlights her complexion with a hint of gold and pink-champagne powder, transforms her nails into jewels and darkens her eyes with a smoky bronze... A final touch of frosty pink on the lips and... let the party begin!
Yves Saint Laurent explores the different facets of this precious metal and reinterprets them in an original palette of sparkling, burnished and glimmering colours. Make-up to be combined with evening attire to celebrate the Holiday party season.

PINK GOLD
This winter, the
Yves Saint Laurent woman shimmers in an extravagant harmony of pink gold, plum and crimson. Seductive and dazzling, she is the picture of vibrant glamour, lighting up her gaze
with a play of contrasts: the eyes are resplendent in crimson gold and the lashes clad in deep violet.

PALETTE METALLIC COLORAMA
FACE HIGHLIGHTER - PEARLY FINISH
Inspired by the new Belle de Jour “Metallic Colorama”
limited edition collection of accessories, the Palette Metallic
Colorama also features, both inside and out, the metallic
effect and the embossed Cassandra logo.
AN OBJECT OF DESIRE
The Palette Metallic CoLorama nestles within a gold
leatherette, rectangular case and comes with its own mirror.
A magnetic catch opens to reveal a complexion highlighter
for the face and décolleté.
A PRECIOUS POWDER
Subtly flecked with iridescent pigments, the powder adds sparkle
to all complexions with its pink-champagne shimmer. Its optical
highlighters catch the light and blend away imperfections.
A cashmere feel and an exceptionally smooth texture give
a flawless long-lasting finish for lavish radiance that lasts the whole
night through.
APPLICATION TIPS
“Apply the multipurpose PALETTE METALLIC
COLORAMA with a powder brush over the whole face
to suffuse it with a delicate golden light, or apply
lightly to the cheekbones and arch of the eyebrows
to sculpt the face.”
A trick of the trade:
apply to the eyelids for a touch of light.
TOUCHE D’OR
FACE HIGHLIGHTER - GOLD*
A genuine beauty enhancer for radiant skin, TOUCHE D’OR
is like a magic wand: on its own, it illuminates the skin with
unrivalled radiance; mixed with another colour, it adds
a luxurious sheen to the eyes or lips.
The brush applicator dusts the complexion with an
iridescent veil of powder. In just a few strokes, it highlights
the contours of the face and illuminates the cheekbones.
Applied beneath the arch of the eyebrows or to the corners
of the eyes, it gives the eyes instant brightness.
APPLICATION TIPS
“TOUCHE D’OR can be used in several ways:
as a highlighter at the top of the cheekbones. On the eyes,
on its own or mixed with another colour, it leaves them
twinkling with gold. Applied over a lipstick, the transformation
is instantaneous. And last but not least, it can add a dash
of brightness to the décolleté or the curve of a shoulder.”
LA LAQUE METALLIC COLORAMA
Gold makes a statement right down to the fingertips, transforming the nails into precious jewels.
La Laque nail lacquer comes in a trilogy of new gold shades with “brushed” metallic glints for a truly vintage look.
Aged gold, rosy copper, brilliant silver: Yves Saint Laurent presents a variation on a theme for a sparkling Christmas season.
La Laque N° 139 - Gold
La Laque N° 140 - Pink Gold
La Laque N° 141 - White Gold
APPLICATION TIPS“Apply to the whole nail or just to the very tip."
