“Nature is always my main inspiration.” says LA-based artist Marleigh Culver. As the visionary behind this year's California-inspired holiday packaging, she started by researching native flora + fauna from fuchsia-flowered gooseberry to whiteleaf manzanita, picking out defining characteristics like petals and serrated leaf edges. As for color? That was more intuitive for Marleigh. “I loved being able to reference ILIA’s shade palette... I’ll mix colors and follow my gut on whether a color feels balanced and right and emotive.” Shop the limited edition collection at ILIABeauty.com.
