Gucci is returning to the beauty game in a big way with the launch of a lipstick line conceived by the brand\u2019s creative director Alessandro Michele. Launch date is May 4.<\/p>\n
On May 4, Gucci will debut a new lipstick collection on Gucci.com<\/a> and in select boutiques, according to its website. The 58-unit line, created by the brand’s creative director Alessandro Michele, takes a cue from old-time Hollywood.<\/p>\n The beauty lineup comes nine months after the debut of the @guccibeauty Instagram account, which suggested a possible makeup relaunch for the luxury house. It has 286,000 followers, whereas Gucci has 33.6 million. The new lipsticks follow Gucci\u2019s launch of its Bloom fragrance<\/a> in 2017 and its expanded 14-piece fragrance line, The Alchemist Garden<\/a> in January 2019.<\/p>\n \u201cMakeup is something poetic and fleeting that you can add to your face, changing or highlighting something about yourself,\u201d said Michele. \u201cI 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 emphasize or underline an aspect of ourselves, makeup is the most immediate and the oldest way, making it the most fascinating.<\/p>\n \u201cLipstick is the most beautiful object you can find inside a handbag,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt is the most fascinating because it has always had a beautiful scent \u2014 we made Gucci lipsticks perfumed with violet. Lipstick is a playful object because it recalls crayons that children colour with. Lipstick also symbolizes the world of cinema, and all the famous lips from Hollywood.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe aesthetic of Alessandro \u2014 the colour, texture, imagery \u2014 can be easily well-reflected in beauty in a very cohesive and coherent way,\u201d Marco Bizzarri, president and chief executive officer of Gucci, told WWD.<\/p>\n We will have to wait until May 4 for the full details, in the meantime a rather odd teaser campaign is underway on the brand’s IG account…<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bw4iqKIgPH2\/<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bw49snUALGQ\/<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bw8FMYBgRFf\/<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Check back for more details over the coming days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gucci is returning to the beauty game in a big way with the launch of a lipstick line conceived by the brand\u2019s creative director Alessandro […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":42185,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7082,2597,7088,1,7093,7084],"tags":[39,7953,732,96,7954],"class_list":["post-42184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beauty","category-best-selling-brands-in-duty-free","category-fashion","category-latest-news","category-luxury","category-makeup","tag-dutyfree","tag-gucci-beauty","tag-launch","tag-lipstick","tag-maythe4th"],"acf":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
