Dior’s Rouge Dior in shade 999 is the fruit of 2 perfect red lipsticks that Monsieur Christian Dior created in 1953 for the runway, “9” and “99”. More than half a century later, the fashion house brought the two together and created this gorgeous, rich red.
Charlotte Tilbury’s Matte Revolution lipstick in Pillow Talk is an iconic nude that has proved its duality throughout the years. With a single slick, it enhances the natural color of your lips while a few more layers can turn it into a dramatic mauve for an understated glamorous effect.
YSL Beauty’s Rouge Pur Couture lipstick in shade 19 is the very first lipstick color created by Monsieur Saint Laurent in 1979. Bold and sophisticated, it’s still a favorite in the beauty scene up until today.
First hitting the beauty counter at Bergdorf Goodman in 1991, Bobbi Brown’s creamy, semi-matte lipstick in pinky Brown immediately sold out and contributed to the debut of the ‘90s nude lip look.
When you first lay your eyes on NARS’ lipstick in shade Schiap, you – as a true fashionista – will surely remember the legendary Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli who made this shocking pink her signature color. Named after her, this electric fuchsia is as surreal as her designs.
Guerlain’s Rouge Impériale lipstick shade was originally launched in 1870 as the House’s first lipstick color that comes in the form of a stick. Distinguished by its deep berry crimson red, it was revived by Creative Director of Makeup Violette as a new staple for the ultimate charming look.
