How Givenchy Beauty used a Xiaohongshu tutorial matrix to launch its spring base makeup
From February 21 to March 10, 2025, Givenchy Beauty built its launch around “白月光LIVE肌” (moonlit LIVE skin, a clear, luminous complexion), using 55 creators and 55 mainly video posts to demonstrate a clear, natural-looking base for the 38女王节 (8 March Women’s Day) shopping moment.
Turn the product benefits into one visible makeup finish
The “白月光LIVE肌” (moonlit LIVE skin) concept framed effortless natural beauty through a clear, skin-like base with light but no greasy shine. It paired the 纪梵希明星流光菁润粉底液 (Givenchy Prisme Libre Skin-Caring Glow) foundation, also called “超贴瓶” (ultra-fit bottle), with the new 00月光滤镜 (00 Moonlight Filter) shade of 纪梵希四宫格散粉 (Givenchy Prisme Libre loose powder) as a spring complexion duo. Across the sustained Xiaohongshu rollout, 95% of posts were videos. Tutorials and GRWM content placed the products inside the base-makeup steps, while different looks—including Korean-style soft makeup, cool minimal looks and Asian makeup styles—expressed the same aesthetic.
The campaign addressed young urban women seeking a clear, natural base, an effortless mood and a finish that looks good on camera, including white-collar women and Gen Z students. It remained focused on product consideration rather than discounts. Some posts mentioned gifts such as a MINI loose powder when purchasing through the 京东新品频道 (JD New Products channel), with 京东新品日 (JD New Products Day) providing the channel tie-in alongside the seasonal launch.
