Perfect pout: 3 to-die-for pink lippies from Lancôme

Pucker up

Lancôme turns 80 this year and to celebrate, they've delved back into the archives

The three limited edition lipsticks they're launching next week are based on colours created by brand founder Armand Petitjean: Rouge Désir (#1951), Rouge Impatience (#1949) and Tango Rose (#1958). The vintage lipstick shades, reworked into Lancôme's legendary L'Absolu Rouge formula, will be available exclusively online.

Each colour is intrinsically linked to the era it hails from: take Rouge Désir, inspired by Blanche DuBois from A Streetcar Named Desire, which had just been staged, and Tango Rose, reflective of the spirit of the late '50s. Each lipstick retails for $50; lancome.com.au.
