The caring and smoothing make-up Essence de Beauté is presented to breathtaking effect in novel dimensions and mysterious blue tones: extremely shallow, circular, with an exceptionally wide span - the elegant glass body coated in light metallic blue is capped by a radiant transparent closure in deep blue with the silver Ricaud logo in the centre.

The new organic system Substitutive for increased skin density gives the observer a completely different view of things. In the brilliantly designed glass container the laws of geometry seem to be have been suspended: the square mutates into a circle, the sphere assumes characteristics of the cube - a bravura interplay of shapes and dimensions which achieves complete aesthetic appeal.

What you see is a sort of glass ball, but where your eye expects an inevitable rounding, the gleaming transparency of the glass suddenly swells to create a beautifully formed angle: confusing, refreshingly different - at all events a magical impression.
