BLURRED LINES
Another day, another matte lipstick, but atypical matte lipsticks? Now, that’s something to get our hearts pumping. The Chanel Rouge Allure Liquid Powder feels just like second skin on the lips, with a photographic blurred-lip effect that gives a modern twist to the classic red. Made with plant oils, polymers, and waxes, the liquid powder feels comfortable throughout and dries down to a velvety finish. Or, for a quick slick, make the YSL Beauté Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Matte Lipstick your go-to. Extra matte and intense, YSL Beauté’s first ultraslim lipstick is available in 24 shades of pinks and reds. “Drawing a square shape around the Cupid’s bow before applying lip colour is an insider trick known to professional make-up artists,” says YSL Beauté’s global beauty director, Tom Pecheux. “So I simplified the application process and designed a square bullet to help women create a sharp lip line for themselves.” Très, très chic.
