Why L’Oreal’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’ Makeup Line Is Everything You Need In Life

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal Poly chapter.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years, you know that Disney has been developing a live-action remake of Beauty and the Beasty with an all-star cast, including actress and feminist Emma Watson. To celebrate the release of the film, L’Oréal Paris has released a limited edition makeup collection that has seven different lipsticks, each with its own matching nail polish.

Although the collection is only being sold by Amazon Italy, they do ship worldwide (so brush up on your Italian). The lipstick/nail polish combos are based on six characters from the film, as well as the iconic enchanted rose, and are sure to have everyone saying that just like Belle, your looks have got no parallel.

Here’s the rundown on the collection:

Belle

The first lipstick and polish are based on leading lady Belle, and are a passionate crimson color that’s sure to capture your heart the same way Belle captured the Beast’s. Each is embossed with sweet golden silhouettes of Belle holding the enchanted rose.

The Beast

Every beauty needs her beast, and this kit is no exception. Encased in a dark blue tube with golden scars streaking across it, this dark brown lipstick and royal blue polish will have you looking as fierce as the Beast.

Enchanted Rose

The enchanted rose is one of the most infamous symbols from the film, so of course it found its way into the collection. Comprised of a deep red lipstick and clear nail polish reminiscent of stained glass windows, this kit comes in sparkly blue packaging with a red and gold rose wrapped around it.

Mrs. Potts

Who could forget Mrs. Potts, the iconic character who showed us all that “there may be something there that wasn’t there before” between Belle and the Beast? You’ll be just as unforgettable as her in this matching pink lip and nail kit, which features tiny pink silhouettes of Mrs. Potts.

Lumière

Lumière is ever the gentleman, so it’s only fitting that he would have such a refined look styled after him. Featuring a nude lipstick and dusty rose nail polish, emblazoned with a baroque design, you’ll be looking both proper and glamourous in this look.

Cogsworth

Although Lumière often teased him about being uptight, we all know Cogsworth was a softy at heart, reflected perfectly in this soft red lipstick and polish duo. It comes complete with elegant wood-patterned packaging, a perfect reflection of Cogsworth.

Plumette

Just like Beast couldn’t stop staring at Belle as she walked down the stairs to the ballroom, no one will be able to take their eyes off of you when you’re wearing this sexy merlot lipstick and polish inspired by Plumette.

A beautiful collection inspired by a timeless classic, this set is a must-have for any die-hard Beauty and the Beast fan. It’s available for a limited time only, so get yours today!
