Not satisfied with conquering the fashion and fine jewelry worlds, Miuccia Prada has set her stylish sights on the world of cosmetics. Prada Beauty, which launched today, offers a selection of color products—think next-level lipsticks, eyeshadows, and foundation—and four skincare formulas for your best face yet.

Drawing upon the Italian fashion house’s rich archive of 27,000 different textiles and patterns, the brand’s global creative make-up artist, Lynsey Alexander, worked with Miuccia and her team to create products that “bring a touch of eccentricity to a sophisticated complexion”. “I went deep into the archives for inspiration because I had the most incredible access to all these prints,” says Alexander. “All the leathers and nylon textures—the back catalog is never ending.”
The eyeshadow palettes bring to (even an untrained) mind the fabrics of Prada shows from days gone by. Comprising four different shades of eyeshadow (“three neutral shades, and a twist”) in a selection of pigmented textures that glide onto skin, there is a palette for every inclination. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that they’re housed in Prada-embossed palettes that would be worth the money even if they arrived empty.
