Best of beauty


Clear coolness - simplicity is the key.
Some perfect beauty products.




"Shimmer Palette" by ck Calvin Klein
The first impression might not be special, but it's worth a second gaze: The four brown-gold tones blend gently - the contrast comes from the black frame. The transparent coverage let it almost appear like a framed picture with a passepartout. It's about the details. This is an absolutely glamorous product (golden powder) in a super simple packing - what a great contrast.


Nivea Creme
The ultimate classic, filled in a tube, not the regular round box. The super strong brand makes it easy: You know from the first glace what's inside this tube. There is nothing decorative, nothing superfluous, just the brand name - Nivea - and what's inside - Creme. Here in Germany it was sold with a blue cap that I find even more perfect. 
Fragrance "Amazing Grace" by Philosophy
A very classic bottle  that doesn't appear male or female itself. Yet it immediatley gives an impression of femininity and softness - a proof for the power of words and typography. The word "Grace" written in a classic typo says it all: A fragrance for women who want to smell elegant, but without overpowering it. So how do you think will it smell? It's floral with a hint of musk, which suits the design perfectly - the clarity of the liquid underlines the freshness.


YSL "Sweet Lipmarker" Lipstick
I think this lipstick isn't sold anymore. Which is a shame. I love the idea behind this: Transforming a normal, essential everyday product that is already reduced to its function - like a pen or marker is - into a high-fashion beauty product. Using a pen as a lipstick is so obvious that no one adapted it before. So the design influences also the use - a true innovation with a fine design.

Which beauty-designs do you like?
