It’s been a while huh? I’m thinking that the temperature has dropped enough now to kick-start the red lip series again…
I’m easing myself back into the season slowly though with this little number from makeup uber-God Kevyn Aucoin.
Kevyn Aucoin’s The Expert Lip Tint in Dantique is a proper grown-up red that oozes sophistication and I’m completely smitten with it. The shade reminds me a little of my Burberry Lip Cover in Claret but while the Burberry is slightly more pink-berry toned, this one leans to a rosey/red-brown. It’s a totally work-appropriate red if you live in fear of wearing your lips a little too loudly.
Genuinely moisturising on my lips and wears down evenly to a pretty stain, I can see myself hitting stump on this shade.
There are currently some Kevyn Aucoin lipsticks for sale on eBay at a very good price, I’m sure they’re old stock but I’ve bought a couple with no problems, otherwise – you can buy online priced at £20 each from MiseBeauty.com
Wow that looked like such a vampy colour in the tube (not that I’m against that), and comes out as such a wearable, and, like you said, work-appropriate.
I loved the red lip series, I’m glad it’s back!
This is such a gorgeous rust red. Another reason why I need some Kevyn Aucoin in my life right now.
He was my hero growing up, can you believe that next year it will be 10 years since his death?
I had a book by him when I was a teenager, as my mum doesn’t wear make-up it taught me everything!
I love his product packaging. It looks so rich.
That’s beautiful and wearable, love it!
Beautful shade! I must buy some of these lip tints, they always look so lush
Very pretty! I like the packaging, very simple and functional. 🙂
I did not know that Kevyn Aucoin had his own stuff! The colour is beautiiful and the case is SO sexy. (Yes, that’s right. SEXY.)
Autumnal and gorgeous!
I love it!!! So easy to wear!
