If you have cracked or peeling lips, there’s no way to rock a fierce red lipstick like Jolie or Godse. There's more to a kissable pout than swiping on a stick of lip balm in wintertime. Check your ingredients! Cinnamon mints and gum can dry and irritate your lips. Also, some lipsticks contain a preservative, propyl gallate, that cause irritation on many people’s lips. Skip these irritants to keep lips looking silky smooth.
Everyone loved YSL’s black bobs and mod noir lips…but what’s on the runway rarely translates to reality without some creative license. Enter Lancôme’s new artistic director of makeup Aaron de Mey. He created a lip set to combine the new Color Fever Gloss in Piha Black with the line’s Piha Red lipstick (named after a beach near his New Zealand hometown) so more daring chicettes can whip up their own wearable version of the trend. Debuting in November, only 500 sets will be released at $48 each. Get on the Bloomingdale’s waiting list now by calling 212-705-2886. Or battle it out for orders online and at Lancôme boutiques this fall. Besides, you’ll get an eye gloss out of it, too–de Mey uses the Piha Black to vamp up those smokey eyes. Question is, will any of the lucky beauty editors who receive advanced samples rock it during Fash Week?
