The Chanel Le Rouge Duo Tenue is designed for those moments when you need your lip color to last and make a statement. Its dual-chamber design ensures that you get both vibrant color and brilliant shine in one package.
Prepare Your Lips: For best results, ensure your lips are clean, dry, and smooth. Gently exfoliate if needed.
Apply Liquid Lip Color: Twist open the end with the intense liquid lip color. Apply a thin, even layer to your lips. Start from the center and work your way outwards. Allow it to dry completely for about 1-2 minutes. This is crucial for long-lasting wear.
Apply Gloss: Once the liquid color is dry and set, twist open the other end containing the gloss. Apply a layer of the shiny and comfortable gloss over the dried lip color. This activates the mirror-shine effect and adds comfort.
Lasting Vibrancy: The intense color remains true and rich for hours without fading or feathering.
Continuous Shine: The gloss provides a comfortable, reflective finish that lasts.
All-Day Wear: Ideal for long events, meals, or any situation where reapplication is inconvenient, thanks to its 8+ hour durability.
There is no specific 'setup' required beyond understanding the two-step application process detailed in the 'Performance & Real-World Use' section.
Skin Tone Compatibility: The Red 172 shade is a classic red, generally versatile, but can be particularly striking on various skin tones depending on personal preference.
Other Variants: This product is part of a wider line, Le Rouge Duo Tenue, available in various colour_family options such as Pink and Brown, offering different shades like 'Soft Rose 48' or 'Intense Nude 194' if you wish to explore other hues.
Storage: Store the Chanel Le Rouge Duo Tenue at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, to preserve its formula and texture.
Securing Caps: Always ensure both caps are securely closed after each use to prevent the product from drying out (especially the liquid lip color) and to avoid spills.
Cleaning Applicators: Avoid cleaning the applicators with water or harsh chemicals, as this can affect the product formulation. If needed, gently wipe any excess product from the neck of the tube with a clean tissue.
Product Life: Like all cosmetics, this product has a shelf life. Check for a 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol (an open jar icon with a number followed by 'M', e.g., '12M') on the packaging to determine how long it's good for after opening.
