Which Lipsticks Melted Backstage at La Perla? - Fall 2013

You see, Moani was eager to create high-drama red lips using Hourglass Cosmetics. La Perla designer Giovanni Bianchi was inspired by the moody color palette of Francisco Goya and the embellished livery of bullfighters. The perfect rich ruby was just screaming to be created.

 

First, Moani prepped lips with Hourglass No. 28 Lip Oil (launching summer 2013).

 

Then she melted two shades together (Hourglass Femme Rouge Velvet Crème Lipstick in Icon & Raven). The proportions were “one part Icon and three parts Raven. The mixture of blue red and orange red makes for an opulent and regal fall statement. I applied the new color with a lip brush. Although vibrant, it’s not an especially sharp shape. It’s still fresh, delicate and elegant.”
