Gucci Rouge À Lèvres Voile Lipstick, 500 Odalie Red at John Lewis & Partners

A lipstick is the ultimate makeup tool.

Imparting a colour on the lips like a memory, the Rouge à Lèvres Voile Sheer Lipstick sheer formula gives a luminous finish in a pop colour palette of 18 shades that deliver a feeling of moisture and comfort in a lightweight texture.

Inspired by vintage makeup the lipsticks’ packaging interweaves House motifs with contemporary codes. Rouge à Lèvres Voile Sheer Lipstick makes a feminine statement in a pink rosebud print on ivory with a gold base as if they came from a 1940s dressing table. The roses are reminiscent of the wallpaper of an old motel, of a beauty parlour in Los Angeles in the 1950s or the lipstick you would find in a vintage market.
