The Lancome L'Absolu Rouge Cream Lipstick 08 is ideal for creating a classic, elegant, or bold lip statement. Its creamy texture ensures a smooth, non-drying application, making it comfortable for extended wear. For best results, prepare your lips by exfoliating gently and applying a light layer of lip balm. The rich pigmentation means one or two swipes are usually sufficient for full color.
For Everyday Elegance: A single, blotted layer can provide a softer wash of red, perfect for daily wear.
For Evening Glamour: Apply directly from the bullet for a bold, impactful red. For extra precision and to prevent feathering, outline lips with a matching red lip liner first.
Layering: To enhance longevity, apply a thin layer, blot with a tissue, and then apply a second layer.
Touch-ups: Due to its creamy nature, keep it handy for touch-ups, especially after meals.
Prepare Lips: Ensure lips are smooth. Gently exfoliate if needed and apply a thin layer of hydrating lip balm. Blot any excess balm.
Optional: Lip Liner: For enhanced precision and to prevent feathering, outline your lips with a red lip liner that matches or is slightly darker than the lipstick shade. Fill in your entire lip with the liner for a base.
Apply Lipstick: Starting from the center of your upper lip, apply the lipstick outward to the corners. Repeat on the lower lip. For a more intense application, apply directly from the bullet. For more precision, use a lip brush.
Blot (Optional): For increased wear time and a more matte finish, gently blot your lips with a tissue after the first application, then reapply.
This cream lipstick pairs well with:
