• The new Rouge Allure range has been reinvented by Peter Philips, Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, with the new formula featuring a much higher concentration of pigment, combined with moisturising and antioxidant agents to keep lips supple and protected.

BROWNS: Déterminée, Rouge Noir, Délurée

• Mademoiselle Chanel’s signature vermillion red lips were the inspiration behind the 6 shades of red in this range, so that you too can find your signature red lip.
• Further to yeseterday’s review of shade Excentrique, today I have Pirate, a deep blue-red
• The creamy formula applies flawlessly on lips – even with or without lip balm.  The pigment is so concentrated that not even a generous layer of lip balm will tone it down.  Wear it with lip balm for a juicy finish & extra moisture.  Or wear it directly on lips for a creamy demi-matte finish that feels snug on lips.
• Comes with a ”one click release” packaging so your lipstick is safe on the go.
• Unlike many pigmented creamy lipsticks, this one is surprisingly easy to apply & you don’t really need a lip brush for a flawless application.
• Verdict: Whilst I’d be happy with only a handful of nude or orange lipsticks, there’s something about red lipstick that I can’t seem to get enough of.   What I love about Pirate is that the blue tones fused with the deep red makes my skin and teeth instantly look brighter and more “done up”, the same reason I am drawn to deep plum/berry lips.  As I mentioned yesterday, the finish is absolutely flawless – concentrated colour with no accentuation of lip lines, and lips feel and look “dressed up” in just a few sweeps.

I have a few minor lip flakes hiding in this pic, but they are all smoothed out by a combination of the lip balm & creamy moisturising texture of the lipstick.

The lipstick is an identical match to the lip liner Rouge Profond.
