With waxy petals and glossy green leaves, gardenia first inspired a Gucci fragrance featuring key notes of white gardenia, Jasmine grandiflorum absolute, pear blossom and brown sugar accord.
Gucci Beauty has translated the eau de parfum as a limited-edition eyeshadow palette and a lipstick, whose packaging features the same floral pattern, based on an illustration from 1966 by Vittorio Accornero.
Inside the Gucci Palette Beauté Des Yeux Gorgeous Flora, 12 highly-pigmented eyeshadows come in satin, matte and metallic finishes with the lightweight texture allowing layering and blending to create various looks.
Gucci Beauty global make-up artist Thomas de Kluyver combined three metallic shades, Gorgeous Turquoise, Fantastic Violet and Fiery Orange, for the Flora Turquoise eye make-up look.
The matte Sand Shell, Solar Fire, Bright Coral and Sweet Hazel along with a touch of satin Silver Sky are applied to create the Flora Sky Blue look.
The third Flora Violet style is a harmony of metallic Fantastic Violet, matte Mauve Jasmine and satin Delicate Blush on peepers.
Lips are dressed in Gucci Rouge De Beauté Brillant Flora in They Met In Argentina, a warm rosewood with neutral tones and uplifting notes of pink and coral.
The hybrid formula has the pigment payoff of a lipstick and the nourishing properties of a balm infused with black rose, peony and jojoba seed oils as well as hyaluronic acid on a base of karité butter.
Presented through a series of portraits and a video by Max Siedentopf, the new make-up items allow users to create their own #FloraFantasy.
Gucci Beauty cosmetic counters are located at Paragon, Central@CentralWorld and Central Ladprao department stores and Megabangna shopping mall.
