Meeting the Creative Director of Guerlain, Olivier Echaudemaison, was a career highlight of mine—with a passion for makeup and a clientele list of the most beloved faces, from the late Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor, to today’s royalty, his word is beauty gold. He told me that I must wear lipstick when heading out at night, as dressing up the eyes is just not enough.
When I wear lipstick, I usually stick to the nude, peach, and coral hues or go for a full on rich matte red—nothing in between. The relaunched Guerlain Kiss Kiss Lip Colour lipsticks have just landed on my desk and inside their pretty black and gold cases lies seriously moisturizing lipsticks that deliver a shot of color to the pout.
Perfectly designed for the lady who wants to join the lipstick club and isn’t sure where to start, one application of the Kiss Kiss Shaping Cream Lip Colour in 325 Rouge Kiss will reveal a pretty strawberry-stained pout and will leave you feeling like you’re wearing a balm. Your lips will not feel suffocated and the best part is, if you blot them with a tissue, you will be left with a rose-tinted pair of lips à la Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. If you want a bolder lip, add a second application of the lipstick and you will have a sparkling, plumped up scarlet pout in seconds.
