Pat McGrath and Nicolas Ghesquière Unveiled Louis Vuitton’s Monogram Beauty Collection
Runway Magazine Editorial Team
Pat McGrath and Louis Vuitton’s Monogram collaboration just gave luxury beauty its most anticipated crossover of the year. The house’s most recognizable print is finally on its makeup.
Dame Pat McGrath and Nicolas Ghesquière collaborated on Louis Vuitton’s first Monogram-canvas beauty collection, a limited-edition eye-and-lip line featuring the Monogram Dune and Monogram Infrarouge eyeshadow palettes, marking the first time La Beauté Louis Vuitton products carry the house’s Monogram print.
This launch matters because it arrives during the 130th anniversary of Louis Vuitton’s Monogram, giving McGrath and Ghesquière one of fashion’s most recognizable symbols to reinterpret. Furthermore, it marks a new creative chapter for a beauty line McGrath has led since its debut.
What Is the New Louis Vuitton Monogram Beauty Collection?
The collection splits into two distinct directions: Monogram Dune and Monogram Infrarouge. Each version explores a different mood entirely. Louis Vuitton Monogram makeup now appears directly on cosmetics for the first time since La Beauté launched, translating the house’s iconic canvas into color and packaging.
Monogram Dune draws from a desert landscape, moving through soft beige, warm nude, and luminous neutral tones. Monogram Infrarouge takes the opposite approach, built on high-contrast blacks and reds. According to WWD, McGrath described Infrarouge as “unapologetic” and made for “a woman who defines herself on her own terms.”
Who Designed the Louis Vuitton Monogram Makeup Collection?
Pat McGrath, La Beauté Louis Vuitton’s Cosmetics Creative Director, teamed with artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière on the entire collection. McGrath has worked backstage at Louis Vuitton shows with Ghesquière for years, giving the pair an established creative shorthand. That long partnership shows clearly in how closely the makeup mirrors his design sensibility.
Nicolas Ghesquière beauty collaboration moments like this one build directly on McGrath’s original vision for La Beauté, which she previously launched with the house. Per Marie Claire, McGrath continues to run her namesake label, Pat McGrath Labs, alongside her creative director role at Louis Vuitton, balancing both projects.
What Products Are in the Collection?
The Monogram Dune Eyeshadow Palette contains four shades, paired with a rosy beige satin lipstick and a holographic-sparkle lip balm topper. The Monogram Infrarouge Eyeshadow Palette also includes four shades, along with a redcurrant-toned satin lipstick and a glitter-infused lip balm topper. Both eyeshadow palettes retail for approximately $340 each.
La Beauté Louis Vuitton’s new collection pricing extends to the lip products as well, with satin lipsticks and balm toppers priced around $195 each. Every product in the line is refillable, continuing the sustainable packaging approach McGrath established when the beauty line first launched. Luxury makeup collaboration 2026 moments like this one tend to sell out quickly given both McGrath’s reputation and Louis Vuitton’s collector following, so interested shoppers should expect tight availability once the collection goes live.
