Add a modern edge with a variety of bold lip colours and finishes chosen by Peter Philips, the creative and image director of Christian Dior Makeup
The lip sync
Bright shades in softer finishes make for an easy entry into bold lipstick. Use fingertips to press colour onto the lips for a balmy, blurred effect. Diana (left) wears Rouge Dior in Fahrenheit – Velvet as a blush and lipstick. Valerie wears Rouge Dior 999 lipstick on her lips and cheeks.

The power of pink
Easy-to-wear, petal-hued shades become more impactful by applying several layers and opting for a glossy finish. Here, Philips created the look with Rouge Dior lipstick in Rendez-Vous and matched it with a smoky eye using Dior’s Diorshow 5 Couleurs Couture eyeshadow palette in Khaki.

All hail the power of the scarlet lip: keep the tone bright, the application precise and the finish gleaming, using Rouge Dior 999 – Satin lipstick.
