There’s nothing like the vampish streak of a red lip - or so a host of celebrities and designers seem to believe. Cashing in on the insatiable demand for a smudge of colour and an instant confidence boost, designer makeup ranges are mushrooming – and most begin with a foray into lipsticks.
Celebrity stylist, Rachel Zoe, has just announced that she is to unveil a standalone lipstick range, while fashion designer Kate Spade is to launch a lippy line in the autumn.
Elsa McAlonan, Daily Mail Beauty Columnist, told MailOnline: 'Over the past few years we have seen an increase in the number of designers launching their own lipsticks,' and, she says, the trend looks set to continue, predicting that we will see more launches in the next twelve months.
Designs, shades and feel of Rachel Zoe's brand, called Exude, are still under wraps but Ms Zoe, 39, promises the lipsticks will ‘forever revolutionise the way a woman applies her lipstick.’
Fashion designer Kate Spade, has also tapped into the trend. Collaborating with Fifties-inspired Poppy King, whose red lipsticks have attracted an almost cult-like following, the New York-based handbag designer will launch a lip colour range in Autumn.
Named Supercalifragilipstick, the lipsticks may be a mouthful to mention but promise to deliver a full mouth in sheer, long-lasting shades.
It follows the success of Kate Spade’s capsule collection featuring just one shade of red, called Twirl, which hit the beauty stands last year.
