In what is a defining new moment, Louis Vuitton presents its first ever limited-edition beauty collaboration between LV Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquiére and Creative Director for cosmetics, Dame Pat McGrath DBE.
As the creative force behind the beauty on the Louis Vuitton runway for over two decades, Dame Pat McGrath has translated the vision of each collection into complete looks that exude character, attitude and emotion. So, when Nicolas Ghesquière took the helm as Artistic Director, the creative dialogue found a new and defining expression.
This new collection is the natural culmination of a partnership that has consistently pushed the boundaries of beauty and fashion, and sparks the beginning of a special limited-edition chapter for La Beauté Louis Vuitton.

This partnership also marks the 130th anniversary of the celebrated monogram and features reinterpreted details inspired by the iconic Monogram Dune canvas with its warm, luminous beige, and the Monogram Infrarouge canvas, with its statement red on the deepest black; each one a tribute to the woman who has always worn Louis Vuitton entirely on her own terms.
The Monogram Dune and Monogram Infrarouge collection of makeup pieces are accompanied by a dedicated line of small leather goods and accessories, which have been conceived for the first time in these limited-edition canvases.

Representing the world of quiet power and poetic luminosity, the Monogram Dune collection is inspired by the ever-shifting beauty of the desert landscape, where light continuously reshapes colour, depth and perception.
Here, soft beiges and sun-warmed nudes define the palette with each shade chosen to feel as intimate as a second skin and as enduring as the landscape that inspired it.

Reflecting a subtle interplay of light and dimension, the LV Ombres 724 Monogram Dune – Eyeshadow Palette ($470) features four harmonious shades namely the pure luminous icy white, a radiant rose gold, a lightly metalized hematite grey, and a delicate anise.

For a touch of softness to the lips, the LV Rouge 724 Monogram Dune – Satin Lipstick ($265) comes in a warm rosy beige that reflects an understated femininity, complete with subtle intimate elegance.
Emerging from the meeting point between sky and sand, the LV Baume 098 Stellar Veil – Topper Lip Balm ($265) gives you a delicate transparent luminous finish that unveils a subtle interplay of light and dimension, where the holographic sparkles catch, refract, and diffuse light like reflections.

Inspired by the striking drama of the Monogram Infrarouge canvas, this collection is for the woman who embraces contrast, wears boldness as a second nature, and whose beauty commands attention without ever seeking approval.

Reflecting a world of fearless intensity and self-defined femininity, the LV Ombres 715 Monogram Infrarouge – Eyeshadow Palette ($470) features four shades that come together to shape this expression. They are: an elegant muted rosy beige, a cool-toned taupe, an intense sparkling bluish anthracite, and a mysterious, velvety burgundy.
