Ladurée macarons need no introduction. These elegantly crafted sweets and the patisserie represent “art de vivre” (beautiful life), that became an inspiration to many and even continued to blossom into another level: cosmetics.
Les Merveilleuses Ladurée symbolises the essence of French history and essence. The line is created for women who endeavour to be beautiful, whilst using Les Merveilleuses as inspiration. She is known as the beautiful ‘goddess of liberty’ in any field, whether that be in thought, behaviour or fashion. Strong minded yet demure, she also lived in Paris after the Revolution in the late 18th century — which is used as inspiration for their packaging.
In this line, you will see an assorted selection of makeup products but you may notice that there are high numbers of blushers. The reason? In the 18th century, the noble and elegant ladies in France were only allowed to use cheek colours to make them look more attractive.
Nevertheless, each product is designed and made to be relatable to Les Merveilleuses’ story, in efforts to empower women by offering tools to help enhance their appearance.
Les Merveilleuses Ladurée is available at Hermo, and coming soon to Robinsons and Four Seasons.

Roses — a symbol of love, passion, and beauty are often depicted in portraits of ladies in 18th century Europe. They even use actual roses to colour the cheeks which the petal-shaped blusher is meant to represent. Each petal is delicate, soft, and provides a gentle finish on the cheeks. This is one of the most popular items from the brand.
