You could say 'a sophisticated take on an up-to-the-minute line of beauty products' if you want to get the 'beleza' in. (Basically the adjective before 'take' contrasts with the product or product type. E.g. 'A flirty take on formal business wear.')

Asker: Gostei desse! Só para entender melhor a estrutura da frase, se eu quiser acrescentar outros substantivos, exemplo "sofisticação e beleza"?
