Guerlain Golden Bee Eye Palette Giveaway
Olivier Echaudemaison is one of my all-time favourite makeup artists. As Guerlain’s Creative Director of Makeup, he designs every single makeup product, colour choice and collection from his beauty atelier in Paris. He’s worked with every major Royal family throughout Europe over his remarkable career including Jackie Kennedy and Grace Kelly. He’s the go-to makeup artist for royal weddings.
When you meet Olivier, you are immediately taken with his enthusiasm and passion for makeup. He can’t wait to show you his latest creations carefully explaining the process that led to the collection. Every single detail of the formula and packaging gets his approval before it arrives online or instore.
For this reason, Guerlain palettes are coveted by collectors. They can fetch high prices at online auctions from collectors around the world. One of my recent favourites is the Golden Bee Collector Eye Palette. It’s an ultra-slim palette that features 10 premium eyeshadows in matte, iridescent and satin finishes that allow you to create a wide range of looks.
“The whole joy of a makeup palette rests with its endless colour choices,” he says. “Here, we’ve played with matte, silky-soft and iridescent textures as well as warm and cool colour harmonies. That means that depending on the mood, daytime makeup can become shimmering and sophisticated with the simple addition of some eyeshadow swept onto the arch or inner corner of the eye.”
Olivier decided to decorate the top of the palette with a whimsical bee illustration on the matte gold. It’s a nod to the Guerlain emblem for over a century.
“I especially like the two colour harmonies that come out of this palette. The cool, with its pretty mix of pink, aniseed, plum and silver. And the warm, which gives center stage to brown, brick, bronze and gold.”
THE GIVEAWAY: I was thrilled to have a Guerlain Golden Bee Eye Palette to give away to one lucky reader. To enter, I invited readers to tell me in a blog post comment below how they would rate this collector palette on a scale of 1 to 10? Sojung told us and I drew her name from all entries. Congrats Sojung

April 14, 2021 at 5:24 pmThis is so beautiful, like a delicious box of chocolates, you want to try them all.
I would, personally, give a rating of 8/10 as I would not be able to wear the pink or aubergine colours

April 14, 2021 at 3:47 pmI would rate it a 9 out of 10. I would definitely try all the colours atleast once but I am sure there would be colours that work for me over others. It’s a beautiful palette though and I would be so grateful to win. @shar076

April 13, 2021 at 3:28 pmI would say 8/10 as there are some colours I think would work great on young people in their 20s but once you reach a certain age purple and oranges are a no. The shades are all very wearable but not for people of all ages. One has to be careful not to end up mutton dressed as lamb, as they say! Very classy packaging and looks high end. I would certainly wear the majority of these as my eyes are green and I can wear different looks and shades.

April 13, 2021 at 3:09 pmI think it’s beautiful, and love the iridescent shades, especially. I’d give it 8/10, and would try to wear every shade! @adarst213

April 13, 2021 at 4:28 amWith such gorgeous colors, you have to give it a 10 out of 10. Guerlain is such an iconic brand that I’ve always loved, so I have no doubt that the shadow is smooth and creamy with deep rich coloring. @tracysuz
