The CHANEL Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue is a two-step lip product designed for those seeking vibrant, long-lasting color with a high-shine finish. It combines an intense liquid lip color and a comfortable gloss in one convenient package, providing extended wear and a mirror-like sheen.

To get the best performance from your CHANEL Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue, follow these application steps:
Prepare Your Lips: Ensure your lips are clean, dry, and exfoliated for the smoothest application. You may apply a thin layer of lip balm and blot off any excess if needed.
Apply Liquid Lip Colour: Using the flocked applicator, apply an even layer of the intense liquid lip color (side 1) to your lips. Start from the center and move outwards. For shades like 186 Pink Nude or 196 Red Brown, ensure full coverage.
Allow to Dry: Let the liquid lip color dry completely for at least 1-2 minutes. This is crucial for its long-wearing properties and to prevent smudging. Avoid pressing your lips together during this time.
Apply High-Shine Gloss: Once the liquid color is dry, apply the transparent gloss (side 2) using its brush applicator. This step locks in the color, adds brilliant shine, and provides comfort.
Precision: Use the tip of the liquid lip color applicator for precise outlining of your lip shape.
Thin Layers: For both color and gloss, thin, even layers work best for longevity and comfort.
Touch-ups: If your lips feel dry later in the day, reapply only the clear gloss for renewed comfort and shine without disturbing the base color.
Layering: For a more subtle look, you can sometimes apply a single, sheer layer of the liquid color. For maximum impact, build up with two thin coats, allowing each to dry.
The CHANEL Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue requires no complex setup. It is ready for use directly out of its packaging.
This lip duo is designed to be a standalone lip product, providing both color and shine. It can be paired with:
Lip Liner: For enhanced definition and to prevent feathering, apply a lip liner that matches your chosen shade (e.g., a pink nude liner for 186 Pink Nude or a red-brown liner for 196 Red Brown) before applying the liquid lip color.
Other Makeup: It complements a full face of makeup or can be worn alone for a polished, effortless look.
Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue:
Close Caps Tightly: Always ensure both caps are securely fastened after each use to prevent the product from drying out.
Storage: Store the product at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat or cold.
Cleanliness: Avoid wiping the applicators directly, as this can introduce debris into the product. If an applicator needs cleaning, gently blot it on a clean tissue.
