Dior
There’s been whispers about lipstick being “over.” Since we’ve been wearing masks and staying home for almost a year, some people think it’s no longer worth the effort that we’ve resigned ourselves to a sad little life of lip balm and no more. Peter Philips says not so fast. The Creative and Image Director for Dior and one of the most exciting makeup artists today has something he wants to show you: Rouge Dior, a rainbow of 75 (refillable!) lip colors.
“When we were in the first wave of the pandemic, we went for pure comfort,” says Philips, acknowledging that lipstick was understandably put on the backburner. Now he says people want to wear it not only for the look, but for the psychological benefits. “It’s part of the ritual,” he says. Lipstick affects your state of mind. You can taste it. You can smell it. Lipstick makes you feel different.”
