I’m always on the look out for the perfect pinkish, brownish lipstick. The kind of nude and natural lippie that makes me look more pulled together, healthy and er, prettier. Bobbi Brown once told me the secret was in finding a colour that matches your own lips or is a shade darker. I tweeted the other day about my Shiseido find, the perfect soft, mauv-ish brown with a hint of copper to give it a lift. It’s Shiseido Shimmering Rouge in colour RD709 and has found its way into my make-up bag.
Today I add to the list with Lancome‘s newbie, L’Absolu Nu in 304. It has more pink to it, without being girlish. It is completely flattering, thanks too to its slightly sheer finish and transparent pearl pigments – so lips look luminous and younger, rather than flat, and older.
I have yet to track down the perfect equivalent out of Dior’s new Addict line of lipsticks but it’s surely only a matter of time. Right now am thinking of going off piste, and trying out a shimmering peach, such as the one Kate Moss is wearing in the ad. See below…
