Now that wearing masks outdoors is an option, there is no better time to talk about the appeal of lipsticks. Here, we round up some of the new lipstick launches right now to give your puckers a dash of colour.
New to the Dior Addict range of high-shine lippies this month is a shade called Dior 8. The name – a nod to Monsieur Dior’s lucky number – is classic brick red hue that will universally flatter any skin colour.
Joining the noteworthy Rouge Coco makeup line is the debut Rouge Coco Baume series that marries the qualities of a sheer lip tint with the moisturising properties of a lip balm. Available in six rosy shades like 922 Passion Pink and 918 My Rose (pictured), Rouge Coco Baume features a key active ingredient of Olive Oleoactive that was inspired by the hundred-year-old olive trees on La Pausa, a large villa in France owned by Coco Chanel from the early ’30s to ’50s.
This limited-edition colour from Rouge Hermes Spring/Summer 2022 lipstick range will add a sunny touch to your complexion with its joyful orange shade that comes with a glossy finish. Besides its lightweight feel, the lipstick is also scented with a blend of arnica, sandalwood, and candied angelica concocted by Christine Nagel, the director of creation and olfactory heritage at Hermes.
Guerlain’s latest lipstick offering does not only come with a high shine factor, it ensures your puckers do not every get dried up. The latter is due to its 95 per cent naturally-derived formula that includes ingredients like hyaluronic acid, winter rose extract oil, and organic shea butter.

The collection now welcomes four new wearable nude and red shades of Nude Lingerie (150), Orange Carac (151), Chesnut Corset (154) and Burgundy Bodysuit (155) that will add a touch of natural radiance while keeping your lips hydrated.
