Lipsticks are often bought for either their colour or finish, but these brands create extraordinary luxe lipsticks that are definitely worth their price tag.
According to the extraordinary Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani, makeup just like clothing or accessories have the power to create distinctive allure.
In today’s competitive beauty world, how a lipstick looks on your lips is just as important as the packaging.
Here are 6 luxury lipsticks that live up to their hefty price tag:
1. Gucci – Rouge à Lèvres Voile Lipstick ($58)
FOR A LUXE LIPPIE THAT IS MORE AFFORDABLE
Presented in stunning floral packaging, Gucci’s lipstick is on the more affordable side of the
luxury lipstick scale and is inspired by the designs of vintage makeup.
Gucci launched their makeup line in 2020, and haven’t looked back. The cosmetics by Cotyn are hugely popular in the luxury category.
With 20 shades to choose from, the colours range from everyday nudes to bold statement reds.
It is dermatologically tested, having a moisturising formula that easily applies onto the lips.
Apart from using it as a lipstick, it can also be applied onto the cheeks as a blush.
2. Christian Louboutin – Satin Lip Colour ($137)
FOR A BEAUTIFULLY PACAKGED LIPSTICK
Known for their staple red-bottom heels that have been worn by Rihanna, Selena Gomez and numerous other celebrities, the Louboutin lipstick is known for its extremely luxurious packaging.
The first makeup product the elegant shoe designer released was a nail polish the same colour of red as the soles of their shoes. Next came the lipsticks.
Moulded into the shape of a bullet, the lipstick’s satin finish lasts up to four hours without bleeding or smudging.
Not only can it be used as a lipstick, its multi-functional packaging contains a crown-shaped lid that can be threaded with a ribbon to double as a beautiful pendant, so it is part beauty, part luxe accessory.
