For individuals seeking a lasting, high-shine lip look, the CHANEL Le Rouge Duo Tenue in Endless Pink 174 offers an innovative two-step solution, combining an intense liquid lip color with a comfortable, mirror-shine gloss.

The CHANEL Le Rouge Duo Tenue is designed for those who desire vibrant, long-lasting lip color with a brilliant shine. The Endless Pink 174 shade delivers a beautiful, noticeable pink that complements various skin tones. Its dual-formula approach makes it versatile for different occasions.
Application Steps:
Prepare Lips: For the smoothest application and best longevity, ensure your lips are clean, dry, and gently exfoliated. Avoid applying lip balm directly before the liquid lip color, as this can affect adherence.
Apply Liquid Lip Color: Open the side containing the intense liquid lip color. Using the applicator, apply a thin, even layer across your entire lip, starting from the center and moving outwards. Be precise, as this color is long-wearing.
Allow to Set: Let the liquid lip color dry completely for approximately 1-2 minutes. This is crucial for the 8-hour wear claim and to prevent the color from mixing with the gloss.
Apply Gloss Topcoat: Once the color is dry, open the side with the transparent gloss. Apply a generous layer of gloss over the dried lip color. This step activates the 'mirror shine' effect and adds comfort.
Real-World Application:
Daily Wear: The long-lasting formula makes it ideal for busy days when reapplication isn't always possible, such as work or errands.
Special Occasions: The high-shine finish and vibrant color make it perfect for events where a polished, impactful look is desired, like weddings or evening gatherings.
Eating & Drinking: While designed for longevity, expect some slight gloss wear during meals. The underlying color, however, should remain largely intact. Reapply the gloss as needed for refreshed shine.
Setup (First Use):
Uncap the liquid lip color applicator and gently wipe any excess product from the wand on the rim of the tube before applying.
Uncap the gloss applicator and ensure it is free of any debris.
Compatibility:
This product is designed for direct application to the lips. While generally compatible with most lip primers, always allow primers to fully absorb and dry before applying the liquid lip color.
It is not recommended to apply other lip products (like lip balms or other glosses) underneath the liquid lip color, as this can compromise its wear time and finish.
Care and Maintenance:
Storage: Store the CHANEL Le Rouge Duo Tenue upright at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, to preserve the integrity of both formulas.
Capping: Always ensure both caps are securely replaced after each use. This prevents the liquid lip color from drying out and the gloss from spilling or attracting debris.
Cleaning Applicators: Avoid cleaning the applicators directly with water or harsh chemicals. If necessary, gently wipe any excess product from the applicator wands with a clean tissue before returning them to the tube.
Product Life: For optimal performance and hygiene, adhere to the product's indicated period after opening (PAO) symbol, typically found on the packaging. (Info needed: Specific PAO symbol, usually 6M, 12M, or 24M for makeup products).
