Gucci Beauty's new Rouge à Lèvres Gothique lipsticks were recently unveiled, joining the luxury label's Rouge à Lèvres Lunaison and Rouge à Lèvres Mat lipsticks.
The Gothique collection is characterized by its ultra-pigmented shades, all of which boast metallic finishes that leave the lips with a subtle sparkle. While many metallic lipsticks have a tendency to feel more dry, Gucci Beauty balances the unique finish with a creamy formula, which not only hydrates, but makes it easier to apply and more comfortable to wear throughout the day. Due to the well-balanced formula and strong pigments in the lipsticks, they're made to be long-lasting and durable.
As the formula includes a specially made carbon black pigment that's blended in, the pigment is truly one-of-a-kind, as the dark pearls offering bits of darkness to supply a flattering undertone. The vivid shades that comprise the Rouge à Lèvres Gothique line are said to take inspiration from "iconic Hollywood movies and characters from the gilded era" -- with each one meant to celebrate individualism and self-expression.
