Read My Lips: Gucci Makeup Is Finally Coming To Singapore!

After the unassuming quiet harmony of Alessandro Michele’s vision first seen on the runway over four years ago, it had built crescendo to a rhythmic roar. The shift disrupted the House’s narrative in fashion and Gucci has now turned its attention to makeup, with its very first makeup line.

The makeup line has a 58-piece lipstick collection, featuring three different formulations - Rouge à Lèvres Satin with a satin finish, Rouge à Lèvres Voile with a sheer finish, and Baume à Lèvres, a lip balm with a translucent finish.

Enhance the natural smoothness and texture of the lips, the lip balms give a soft glow of colour with three shades and one transparent formula. The balm melts on the lips, keeping it hydrated and moisturized. Some shades to be named includes ‘Joslyn Clair’ in a transparent colour, ‘René Pink’ a red-pink shade and ‘Penelope Plum’ a plum hue tone.

Finally, What is the Star colour of this collection?

The Collection’s Colour Star is none other than their 25* Goldie Red. Chosen by Alessandro Michele himself, because of his admiration for the red. The emblematic red shade is formulated in satin and sheer finishes. The shade recalls the red lipstick, the Creative Director saw on the lips of the self-assured women when he was a child in the 80s. The shade is also inspired by a legendary Hollywood character, Goldie. The starred 25, which also appears on the label is a reference to the Creative Director’s lucky number.

Alessandro Michele feels that makeup should not mask but rather exalt flaws and make them part of the language of beauty. Defects should be evidenced and but not hidden away. And with this, everyone should be able to wear the makeup how they want to, whether they want to reveal their true self, allowing them to be themselves, or as a means to transform, allowing them to be who they want to be.

There is an accompanying campaign film, shot by Chris Simmonds, which shows close-ups of models and lips that look not perfect but bold, bright and beautiful！

The Gucci lipstick collection will be available at Takashimaya Department Store Beauty Hall from 12 September 2019 at $53.00.
