The New Matte Lip (And The Shades You Need To Try)
It’s matte but not as you know it.
Matte lipsticks often still cut a bad rap because of their sometimes-tendency to dry out your pout, or even leave a telltale ring of colour around the edges.
It’s for this precise reason that Lucia Pica, CHANEL Global Creative Makeup and Colour Designer, lent her master skills in maquillage to create a new lip collection of CHANEL Rouge Allure (on-counter October 1). And, boy are we jumping that she did?
Based on the tactile feel and texture of matte, but not in a “dry type of way—think of the most luxurious cashmere,” Pica reveals the concept has been taken one step further with the line-up featuring new Liquid Powders, six chic shades that create an almost blurred effect.

Once dry, pop on another coat to achieve this flawless, opaque finish.
