By being the final gesture of a look, a lipstick offers a thousand and one possibilities of shades and textures. Here are the best lipsticks of Spring/Summer 2022!

Special Lipsticks: Iconic Colors.

Lipstick has some transcendent power and many aesthetes have realized the power of lipstick. Starting with Coco Chanel, who didn’t hesitate to say, “If you’re sad, add more lipstick and attack” and then, with Christian Dior who, from the very beginning, sought to capture the sublime of his couture in this special aspect: he wanted to “dress women’s smiles”.

Today, the charm and panache of lipstick are provided in a thousand and one colors, and for Spring/Summer 2022, Icon-Icon has selected these lipsticks whose sublimation gesture is inherited from an antediluvian tradition.

This year, Dior innovates with a new version of the Dior Addict. The iconic lipstick of Monsieur Dior’s house reinvents itself in a shiny version whose formula is composed of 90% ingredients of natural origin. This lipstick -disposed in a setting, refillable, lacquered in black vinyl and embossed with the mythical Dior Oblique logo- is definitely in line with its time!

When it comes to pigment, the Dior Addict glossy lipstick offers intense shades in a vinyl-like shine.

Chanel reimagines its iconic Rouge Allure, in a highly concentrated pigmented version. Chanel reimagines its iconic Rouge Allure, in a highly concentrated pigmented version. Renamed for the occasion Rouge Allure L’Extrait, this new lipstick from the Chanel makeup studios captures all the impertinence of the 1920’s lipstick, a substantial item in female emancipation, worn by Coco herself!

With its high pigment concentration and its ingredients with a high light reflection index, Rouge Allure L’Extrait by Cannel offers you to color your smile with intense, satiny hues. Shades that form a collection of 20 colors all brighter and bolder:

from nude beiges to flamboyant reds, including deep roses. Rouge Allure L’Extrait is finally a very Chanel lipstick: symbolic and powerful, with evocative titles like Rouge Audacieux, Rouge Libre, Rose Impulsif…

Another great French fashion house that has transposed the sublime of its creations into iconic lipsticks: Hermès.

Launched in 2020, the saddler’s first line of cosmetics quickly became a must and for good reason! The colors of Hermès’ lipsticks are drawn from the iconic shades and materials of Hermès. We are thinking, in particular, of silk, a key material of the house, which brings together more than 75,000 shades in the Hermès archives in Lyon.

Jérôme Touron, creative director Beauty Hermès, said: “I imagine our makeup textures resonating with the other materials in the house. Like a game of analogies.”

Moreover, each of these lipsticks has its own signature scent. Imagined by the “nose” (perfumer) of Hermès, Christine Nagel, this one is a natural smell, subtly vegetal, and beneficial. Notes of sandalwood, arnica, and angelica for example.

Guerlain, elle, est une maison pionnière de la cosmétique. and with Kiss Kiss Bee Glow, the bee house revisits its insect totem. Violette, Director of Makeup Creation Guerlain says: “This colorful balm, inspired by bees, is phenomenal. It makes no compromise between naturalness, efficiency and sensoriality. It has all the qualities of a basic lipstick! The more you wear it, the more plump, soft, and embellished your lips seem.”

This new lip balm enriched with honey and composed of 98% ingredients of natural origin has the particularity to color the lips of a chic and intense shade! Smooth and addictive, its ultra-melting texture has a soft and unique long-lasting comfort. It comes in 6 shades, “syrup”, that dress the smile in a transparency inspired by honey flowers.

Now, here is a Charlotte Tilbury lipstick. It is a condensate of the expertise of the leading make-up artist who has been making artistic make-ups inspired for the biggest fashion magazines for a long time. Limitless Lucky Lips by Charlotte Tilbury is an irresistible long-lasting lipstick for ultra-matte lips.

“Lipstick is happiness in a tube, and my new Limitless Lucky Lips are spreading joy around you!” says Charlotte Tilbury.

The Limitless Lucky Lips lipstick underlines the most charming smiles, comes in 9 shades, and is slipped in a golden tube stamped with kisses, universally flattering tones.

1944 Paris introduces an anti-aging lipstick named Camille. A novelty that the house describes around the fact that “the innovative formula of lipsticks 1944 Paris combines comfort and long-hold for soft and shiny lips. It is composed of a carefully selected mix of baobab oil, candelilla wax, Vitamins C and E. Thus, this lipstick provides an intensely silky sensation.”

In total, the Camille glossy lipstick offers a new cosmetic breakthrough around 7 very spring-like shades, the whole in a black tube lacquered very Parisian.

At Too Faced, the Too Femme lipstick balm is designed to combine glamour and comfort. Thanks to its base mixed with extract of acerola cherry and shea butter this balm is nourishing and moisturizing.
