Lipstick - A Power Tool. A Girl's Other Best Friend.I have taken pictures of pages from the latest magazines featuring interviews with Peter Philips, the global creative director of Chanel Makeup. Along the way, I will type out key points so that you can read without straining your eyes.
Rougue Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Colour ($44)Credit line: Many thanks to HerWorld April 2010. Do checkout their revamped website @ HerWorld.com. And to Female April 2010, my current favourite mag.
So here is the colour orgasm, enjoy!
Article by Denyse Yeo in HerWorld.An interview with Peter Philips reveals that Rougue de Coco, a lipstick line fronted by Vanessa Paradis, wife of Johnny Depp, was created for young women. A attempt to bring back a generation of lip gloss-eaters (that's me!) onto lipsticks.
The reason for Rougue de Coco - Young women with shiny lips that can look greasy if overdone, and hair sticking onto puckers.In contrast with Chanel's existing Rougue Allure range with more sophisticated and darker extreme colours, Rougue Coco is a creamy lippy that keeps lips moisturized for 8 hours.
In 30 shades, each is linked to the brands founder, Gabrielle Coco Chanel. Think names like Camelia and Mademoiselle.
Encouraging women who wear lip gloss to try lipstick and discover a whole new world.******
How to pick a Rougue de Coco.
Pink: Legende for almost everybody, and Mademoiselle for darker lip tones.Looking at the colours on the mag, I think I like Orchidee.
The pink attack! (I am so glad my Omnia camera is working. The colours are as I see on magazine. The shine was created by their photography, not my lights or paper angle.)For browns, I think Sycamore looks good because of the shimmer.
Browns.It says Gabrielle looks best against yellow-toned skin. LOL. Looks like my type outs are more like notes for myself. :PPP
Classic Reds.For Paris, I don't know if it's coincidence or what, but Paris B of My Women Stuff managed to notice Sandra Bullock wearing Paris at the Oscars, and she has tried on the colour here and here. (Two Paris at one go, nice pair. =))
Next, I am quite amazed that there is beige tone range.
Sari Dore is REALLY nice on fair skin. The other 3 are all good for everyone everyday!

Forgot how to wear lipstick? Here are some quick tips from Peter Philips.
Tips.- Try to test on your lips if possible.
- For yellow skin, don't be afraid to try blues, they make your teeth look whiter.
- Use the lipstick to apply for true effect, rather than a brush.
- Use lip liners - match the colour to make lipstick colour last, use darker one for fuller lips, and a lighter liner on top, darker one below for balance.

More from Peter Philips in Female: (Warning: WORDY!)
Lipstick application process: Apply once, blot, apply second time, blot, dust with loose powder.
Lip gloss killed the lipstick. (How true.) Lip gloss is slicked on, dabbed on, never applied.
The first "ready-to-wear" lipstick Peter created for the brand, Rougue Coco. He wants to seduce women back into lipstick to covet and wear it the way they do the Chanel 2.55 bag, because wearing lipstick shouldn't be complicated or torturing. It is beautiful, sensual and a privilege - power.
Rouge Coco comes with a melt-away balm-like texture and sans stickiness, designed to go directly on lips smoothly and easily without the aid of a brush. It delivers a satiny cream finish while giving you full colour pay-off in just one swipe without dryness, that is the greatest problem with lipsticks that are saturated with pigments. The colour range is wide and accessible.
Apart from Legende, try Vanessa's favourites, Gabrielle and Cambon.******
Last but not least, presenting to you a mini survey on men's opinion about lipstick or lip gloss.
