When asked why he created a lipstick line after his nail polish one, Christian Louboutin simply answered "lip is the natural next place where I can use the color red on a woman’s body."
Known for his coveted red-soled shoes, women everywhere were thrilled that he was delving into the world of beauty with a nail lacquer line. Always enhancing a woman's natural beauty, Christian Louboutin's next adventure is with all things related to lips. After the beautifully shaped bottles of polish, what would the lipsticks look like? Not only are they beautifully packaged but they are so magnificent that they can be worn as jewelry. Not your average lipstick, these objects of desire are true pieces of art. Inspired by Babylonian architecture and the Queen of Beauty herself Nefertiti, there is a Middle Eastern essence in the design. Rouge Louboutin has gold and silver caps that look like crowns. On this crown is a small opening with a black ribbon, to have the option of either wearing it as a necklace or decorating your handbag with it. It fits so naturally in the palm of your hand. Each one is packaged in a velvet bag and in a black and gold reusable box. What a perfect gift idea (for yourself)!
Louboutin knows that women love options and in order to enhance every woman's beauty, he created three different textures and an array of colors.
Silky Satin, Velvet Matte and Sheer Voile, take your pick.
Silky Satin Lip Colour: (20 shades)
For the woman who wants a sensual, moisturizing color that lasts, this natural looking satin finished lipstick comes in different shades of berries, reds, corals, nudes and browns.
Velvet Matte Lip Colour: (9 shades)
A matte look can sometimes mean drying, but not with this lipstick. The creators made sure that your lips look matte and don't feel dry.
Sheer Voile Lip Colour: (9 shades)
Some woman love to shine, whether it's in their patent leather Louboutins or their lipstick. This sheer lip color moisturizes the lips with natural oils and leaves them glossy.
Being an artist, Louboutin knows that when creating the perfect lip color an expert tool is needed to highlight the lip contour, hence the Lip Definer. Making sure this Unique Objet D’art & Expert Tool doesn't overpower the lipstick, he created a nudes line just like his shoes and nail polishes. To be consistent every time, this mechanical pencil sharpens itself when you close and reopen it. Did we mention they are also waterproof? Sounds like the perfect liner.
From shoes and nails to lips, if you want to feel sexy and confident Mr. Louboutin has got you covered. Just like the shoes and the nail polish, these works of art are so beautiful and rare I almost just want to keep them in my vanity and just adore them. Actually using them sounds like such a luxurious experience every single time.
