For the Prettie$t Pink Pout: Cle de Peau Extra Silky Lipstick

October 28, 2009

All the au courant rouge reds and aubergine lipstick shades being promoted by most of the magazines simply don't look good on everyone. If it doesn't flatter, it doesn't matter...so best go with colors that work with your complexion. Luxe color and skincare company Cle de Peau offers their Extra Silky lipstick in 25 shades, including four new colors for Fall 2009 - all of which look classically pretty-in-pink.

Whether it's peony, strawberry or rose quartz, Cle de Peau has the a wide range of elegant, sumptuous pinks you will reach for again and again. The feather-light lipstick feels as though it melts into the lips when applied and provides the high-gloss luster of a gloss, but with the staying power of traditional lipstick formulations.

Small wonder the long list of celebs tickled Cle de Peau pink includes Catherine Zeta Jones, Cameron Diaz, Mary Louise Parker, Kim Kardashian, Giselle Bundchen, Rihanna, and Victoria Beckham.

Yes, $50 a pop is expensive for JUST another lipstick, but Cle de Peau's beautifully formulated Extra Silky lipstick is worth two of some of the more commercial brands' offerings. Based on your skin tone, try:

LIGHT SKIN

FAIR-TO-MEDIUM

OLIVE & DARKER
