Beautiful Lives: Peter Philips
Lip Service
Chanel is hoping Philips can do for lipstick what he's already done for lacquer and skin art. His first major launch, Rouge Coco Hydrating Crème Lip Colour, is designed to woo the lip gloss-loving youth set. Its easy-on, one-swipe glide should persuade girls who grew up on Chanel Glossimer to embrace the sophisticated side, but what'll really sell them is the range of shades. Rouge Coco has its crimsons, but it mostly comprises rose and pink hues as well as mauves, caramels, and deep berries available in matte, pearl, and soft-shimmer finishes. "I wanted to get rid of the stigma that lipstick has to be red, which may scare away a lot of women who may be really curious to discover it as a power tool."
