I love a good bold lip. My obsession furthered with Taylor Swift’s new Bad Blood music video, but that comes at a hefty price – the deplorable state of my pout. Stained teeth, bleeding edges are only the beginning. Dried chapped lips make even the most gorgeous of colours look uneven and dirty.
Givenchy’s newest addition to their beauty line promises to cease our worries, all while looking like something 007 might carry. Dressed in a slim black leather casing with metallic finishes, the all new Le Rouge-A-Porter will be the ultimate couture yet easy-to-wear addition to your makeup pouch.
This is a re-invention of Givenchy’s luxurious Le Rouge, with a new hybrid formula including the ever-popular hyaluronic acid. Thanks to that, it has a sheerer, glossier finish – but, don’t put it off just because you want a stronger colour. It is indeed buildable with a slim body, making it real easy to apply when you’re on the go. No need for a lip brush.
Truly made for the practical woman in mind, it is the ideal lippie for those looking for an everyday shade for the office or the dramatic red for the femme fatale look. You can pretty much just go for that one shade. Wear it sheer during the day, and build it up for full coverage for the night.
Those wanting to play with variety will be happy to know it was launched with 16 colours, from buttery nudes, sophisticated pinks to a deep purple. Not only are the colours fitting for the season, its initial sheer coverage makes it less intimidating – perfect for the current summer trend of having a subtle flush of colour rather than an intense lip.
Verdict
While it is only my fifth day into using the N302 in Rouge Atelier, I am adoring how much it is keeping my lips looking kissable in this godforsaken heat wave. Best part? I did not even have to whip out my lip brush to reapply, I just whip it out and glide it on till I got right “shade” I wanted. No muss, no fuss.
Givenchy Le Rouge-A-Porter are currently available at Givenchy Counters at S$52 each.
