Lipsticks

Apply a nude or matching lip liner around the entire lip perimeter before applying lipstick. The waxy formula of lip liner creates a barrier that prevents lipstick pigment from migrating. For extra hold, apply a thin layer of translucent powder along the outer lip line before lipstick. Explore the full L'Absolu Rouge Collection to find the most compatible lipstick and liner shade pairings for feather-free, long-lasting wear.

L'Absolu Rouge Cream is the most hydrating formula in the Lancôme lipstick range, containing hyaluronic acid spheres, squalane and emollient waxes that nourish the lips during wear. The L'Absolu Rouge Intimatte Soft matte is the most hydrating of the matte formats, providing comfortable wear without the tight, dry sensation of traditional mattes. Discover the Lancôme soft glam makeup guide for beginners for tips on creating a complete, hydration-focused lip look. Both formulas are recommended for dry or sensitive lips.

Choosing a long-lasting lipstick is an easy way to ensure your lipstick lasts. Other ways to ensure long-lasting lipstick include using a lip liner to shape and fill in lips before applying lipstick, apply your lipstick in thin layers and blot with a tissue between applications, avoid touching or licking your lips, and carry your lipstick with you for touch-ups throughout the day.

While it is technically possible to use eyeshadow as lipstick, it is not recommended. Eyeshadows are specifically formulated for use on the delicate skin around the eyes and may contain ingredients that are not safe for ingestion or prolonged contact with the lips. Additionally, eyeshadows are typically not designed to adhere to the lips or provide the same level of comfort, longevity, or colour payoff as lipsticks. Using eyeshadow on the lips may result in a dry, uncomfortable texture, uneven application, and a lack of staying power. It's best to use products as intended and opt for lipsticks or lip makeup products Specifically formulated for the lips to ensure safety, comfort and optimal results.
