Chanel Rouge Allure in no. 98 'Coromandel'. I was inspired to pick up this color after watching Mary Greenwell expertly apply it to Sali Hughes' face in the behind-the-scenes shoot for Sali's brilliant book Pretty Honest. Little did I know, through further research via Lisa Eldridge's #makeupmoment blog posts, that Coromandel was also used on a couple marvelous leading ladies in recent films: by Ivana Primorac on Kiera Knightly in the sultry library scene in 'Atonement' and by Morag Ross on Cate Blanchett in the mesmerizing, gorgeous film 'Carol'. As if I needed more reasons to feel special wearing fancy red lipstick. 💄
Revlon Fire & Ice
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 'Fire & Ice'. In Pretty Iconic, in the same Revlon entry as 'Cherries in the Snow', Sali Hughes told a touching story about what this color in particular meant to her and her friend. The nostalgic, evocative power of makeup makes me happy and is nothing to be sneezed at. 💄💫
Revlon Cherries in the Snow
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 'Cherries in the Snow'. Was inspired to venture away from the Nordstrom counter and into the Walgreens for this lovely lady featured in Sali Hughes' inspiring book Pretty Iconic. At $8, it's worth a spot in the regular lineup.
