Louis Vuitton’s Iconic Monogram Beauty Collaboration Is Here


La Beauté Louis Vuitton is more than a makeup line. The refillable, luxurious formulas created by Dame Pat McGrath also function as objets d’art—collectable items born to be displayed on your vanity and, eventually, passed down for generations. I know I’m going to hold onto my blending brush, lip liner case, and monogrammed lipstick canisters forever, which makes the steeper price feel a tad more manageable. Future heirlooms, after all, don’t come cheap.

Recently, the house announced a particularly precious addition to the artful lineup: a limited-edition collaboration between McGrath and Louis Vuitton Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquière, which officially lands in stores today. Celebrating the 130th anniversary of the iconic monogram, the collection is inspired by two Louis Vuitton canvases: Monogram Dune and Monogram Infrarouge. “Monogram Dune is about a poetic, luminous woman—minimal, warm, and expressed through soft beige and nude tones. Monogram Infrarouge is its counterpoint—a fearless heroine, defined by intensity, bold reds, and striking contrasts,” Ghesquière describes in a news release.

As you can probably guess, these extravagant compacts come with the price tag to match: Each of the eye shadow palettes cost $340 (compared to $250 for the original LV case) with the lipsticks and balms tagged at $195 (compared to $160). They’re Louis Vuitton’s most expensive beauty offerings to date—certainly not an everyday purchase, but one that will surely last a lifetime. Whether you’re ready to snag your own collector’s item or simply want to marvel at the prettiest palettes in existence, scroll ahead to see all the opulent details.
