Making sure every piece was carefully crafted, Gabriela took the time to study the artistry and technology in the film for the newest collection which pays homage to the magical 1959 masterpiece. “Celebrating the film’s 60th Anniversary, Bésame Cosmetics has once again collaborated with Disney to create a new cosmetics line inspired by the original film’s animation cels, color palette, and unique illustration style,” said the brand. The historian curated the palette with 20 highly pigmented shades in the bright and neutral families. The hues selected were from Aurora's dresses, Maleficent's staff, and other important key colors in the film.
