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 22, 2021 at 9:12 am9 – I had a Guerlain eyeshadow years ago and the quality was amazing, glided on, stayed put without any creasing, and lovely strong pigmentation. This palette only drops a point because although I love to see a green included I just wish it had a bit more aquamarine to it.

April 22, 2021 at 7:18 amI would absolutely use all 10 shades! I love the color story and the component. This color story has all you need! I love iridescent colors, satins, matte and shimmer. It looks like luxury,and I could do natural, creative, or a nice evening look. I really want to be creative and use all 10 shades ❤ Twitter: @MrsBrianJaneway

April 21, 2021 at 6:29 pmI’d use 8 of the 10 shades. I prefer mattes, I like satins, but I’m afraid of iridescents because they tend to age (we’re all not GenZ!) LOL! My green/blue eyes, that are usually teal, really pop w/ warm colors, but the pale green intrigues me. The only colors I would avoid are the silver (better for women of color who’re able to go more bold with eye makeup) and the black. It’s a great collection bc the cool colors pink, aniseed, plum are really warm colors too. Now that we’re all wearing MASKS, it’s time for me to get back into wearing eye shadows bc no one sees my lipstick. 🙂 Thanks Dave! @PeconicLady

April 21, 2021 at 8:16 amI would give the palette an 8 because I would probably use 8 of the shades regularly. A couple would only be used occasionally are still great for certain occasions! @kzarr on twitter
