LOUBOUTIN LIPS

For a footwear brand whose calling card colour is red, corresponding lips and nails are the obvious choices for a move into beauty. Christian Louboutin nail polish came last year, and now a range of lipsticks are joining the line-up in September.

When a woman carries a handbag, we look at her shoulders. When she slips on a pair of heels, we observe her walk. If she applies lacquer to her nails, we admire her hands," said Louboutin in a statement. "An object that embellishes the lips - the beacon of sensuality and organ of communication - has to be fairly amazing. The object should inspire a beautiful gesture."

Like the nail polishes before them, the lipsticks are designed as objects of desire as much as they are colour cosmetics - with £60 price tags to match - in vial-like golden packaging with ribbon ties. The 38 colours are available as Silky Satin, Velvet Matte and Sheer Voile finishes - including a classic crimson, of course

LAYER UP

Its that time of year, the fading of summer transitioning to Autumn when you need an extra layer but it is still to warm for a winter warmer.
