Clarins have launched their new lipstick range, Joli Rouge Velvet and we are loving the new texture.
20 shades of lightweight matte velvet pigment that wears well on the lips. The lipstick texture is completely undetectable.
It’s matte without drying and doesn’t cling to the skin whatsoever. The pigment is easy to build and it’s a particularly nice texture to buff the edges out for a diffused lip. In fact the velvet texture looks best when worn a little unkempt. If you’re after a more defined look then I think a lip liner is essential with this type of product.
Hydration comes from Organic Marsh Samphire and Organic Apricot oil.
Shade wise it’s mainly plum based pinks but there are a few bold reds thrown into the mix.
What I absolutely love about this texture is that it’s awesome to use as a cream blush, in fact I think I will use it more as this than a lipstick. The matte velvet gives a beautiful skin pinched effect to the cheeks that has no tacky feeling, great for a cream blush on an oily skin type.
The lipsticks are available now for £22.00 here.
