Clé de Peau Beauté has collaborated with Icelandic artist, Kristjana Williams, to create a print for the Lunar New Year. Her design marries the brand’s signature key motif with traditional seasonal symbols including butterflies, peony flowers and cherry blossoms.

The design is showcased on the limited-edition sleeves of Clé de Peau Beauté’s The Serum 100ml. The Serum is instantly absorbed to offer soft, supple skin; it is exclusive to the global travel retail market.

Clé de Peau Beauté is marking the tenth anniversary of its popular lipstick shade Legend Red #103 with a limited-edition Legend Color Collection featuring four different lip finishes.

Available in Asia Pacific travel retail, the new range is presented in striking red packaging and features Lipstick Cashmere, Radiant Liquid Rough Shine, Refined Lip Luminizer and Radiant Lip Gloss.

The NARS Chinese New Year Collection offers a selection of the brand’s best-selling “cult classics”.

Launching in APAC, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the range is presented in glossy-red packaging etched with gold.

It includes Light Reflecting Setting Powder, which is designed to enhance the look and feel of wearing foundation, and Singapore Quad Eyeshadow in four colours: Sparkling Pale Gold, Sparkling Metallic Brass, Shimmering Deep Rust Red and Sparkling Antiqued Bronze.
