Once, twice, three times a lady…
After a summer of subdued natural beauty it’s time to up the ante. There’s nothing like a swipe of lippy to make you look and feel more glamorous. Whether its a plum, berry, pillarbox or coral shade, matte or gloss, the virtues of a good lip colour are endless. A red lip is a well know distraction from tired eyes, a swipe of gloss gives an instantly hydrating and dewy appearance. A pop of colour adds polished punctuation to denim and knits. And with a trio of new launches, there’s never been a better time for lip update.
Givenchy Le Rouge Deep Velvet
An absolute must-try for everyone who is predisposed to a red lip. Givenchy’s iconic Le Rouge lipsticks have been reinvented with a new formula, a slew of new colours and slick new packaging. Our favourite is The Deep Velvet lipsticks, they’re all about high pigmentation and a powdery matte finish. Available in six shades covering the spectrum from Beige Nu and Rose Boise to Fuchsia Vibrant and Rouge Graine, there is something to compliment every skin tone. There also happens to be a glittery selection of Le Rouge Night Noir shades. Available at Givenchybeauty.com
Marc Jacobs Starlust Collection
If it’s a party lip you’re after, you’ll find it here. With a new limited-edition collection for eyes, lips, and face in rich in an earthy autumnal palette, Marc Jacobs’ new Starlust Collection has everything you need to add a little polish and shine to your new season look. We’re head-over-heels for the shine of the Lip Lacquer Lip Gloss. If you think gloss is dated, think again. The super-sparking gloss is designed to be worn alone, or on top of your favourite lip stick. The colours include Genie Kiss, To The Moon, Pick Up and Atomic, and they’re sans stickiness, too. The new formula promises an ultra-brilliant, long-lasting and plump look. Available at Sephora.ae
Chanel Rouge Allure Ink Fusion
A reincarnation of 2016’s hit Rouge Allure Ink, the Rouge Allure Ink Fusion is a velvety soft matte liquid lip colour. Although liquid doesn’t normally equal a matte result, this clever mix of polymers and gel, simply glides over the lips creating an oil-enriched smudge-proof colour which
feels totally natural. The formula also comes with added Sappan wood and Vitamin E – antioxidant and nourishing at the same time. Colours range from Beige Natural to a daring Rouge Noir and everything in between, and they promise to hold for eight hours. The launch also includes new Rouge Allure Ink shades, half of which boast a new metallic effect if you feel like adding a little more shine later in the season. Chanel.com
