3 beauty hacks to feel opulent
Published: 29/08/2024 | Author: Claire Allanson
Old money aesthetic. Quiet luxury. The name changes, but these trends refer to the same style that never goes out of fashion: an effortless sophistication that feels opulent, but never OTT. Yet despite the names, you don’t need a trust fund to feel opulent – luckily, we know a few simple beauty hacks to give you those extravagant vibes.
1. Dial up the perfume intensity
Do you know the difference between your EDP and EDT? If you want your perfume to last longer, it’s time to know the many iterations of fragrances. Wearing an intensely concentrated Parfum – with up to 30% of pure perfume oil – not only increases the staying power of your scent; these luxe essences also evoke an opulent experience that make the premium price worth the investment.
Case in-point: Giordani Gold’s Essenza Parfum collection. The original Parfum is a treasured icon, embodying effortless sophistication with Oriflame’s exclusive Orange Blossom Luxury Essenza® fragrance note. It’s gloriously luminous, and this renowned velvety floral that epitomises Giordani Gold is just one aspect of the luxe appeal – the Essenza bottles are literally adorned with real 24 carat gold details!
Housed in a dynamic red bottle with the same iconic details, the new Essenza Supreme Parfum is another level of opulent sophistication that is audacious, lavish and supremely sophisticated. Crafted with a deeply supreme blend of three iconic flowers, the White Floral Infusion is a slow perfumery tribute to gently extract an essence – which elevates the precious olfactive qualities of raw materials. Interwoven through the rich sensuality of Olibanum, this new Parfum fave hits the old money aesthetic with a truly opulent bloom that lingers for 12 hours.
2. Prioritise luxe foundation
If you invest in one luxury makeup product, make it foundation. Fresh-faced skin that looks uber-healthy exudes a luxe aesthetic – and with today’s array of hybrid, multi-functional foundations infused with skincare actives, flaunting an expensive, next-level skin glow has never been easier. Dubbed “status skin” by Newby Hands, global beauty director for Net-A-Porter, getting the look comes down to making your skin a priority.
Choose a “skinified” foundation, like Giordani Gold Eternal Glow – supercharged with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide, this deeply hydrating foundation works like makeup to give you radiant coverage, while also delivering powerful skincare benefits to help make your skin look better over time.
3. Make touch-ups an opulent experience
Nothing feels more chic than needing to reapply your lipstick at a party, and pulling out an exquisitely beautiful product. Keep a few luxe beauty products in your handbag to use on-the-go – a simple hack to feel opulent each day, this makes each touch-up an elevated experience.
We love the crafted design of Giordani Gold Eternal Glow Lipstick: the bullet shape has an elegant diamond profile for precise application (and luxe vibes), while the golden packaging feels just the right amount of luxury: subtle and modern, yet with a heritage quality that makes it feel treasured.
