Imparting bold colour in just one smooth swipe, this is definitely a matte lipstick – but with a difference. What sets it apart from the rest is its silk-like finish and feel. As rich in glossy emollients as it is in pigments, it is defined not only by its exceptional colour payoff but also its luminosity. Feeling as good on your lips as it looks, it is as soft as a sensual second skin while it works to sculpt and define your natural beauty – just like delicate La Perla lingerie. Hugging your lips with light-weight comfort, you won't even know it is there. Our formula is just as unique as the long-lasting finish: it is full of nourishing ingredients that have been carefully chosen to restore suppleness, improve skin barrier function and intensely hydrate. It is vegan, gluten-free, and clean too – and free from talc, fragrance, added parabens, D5 volatile silicones and alcohol. Now you can be confident that the colour on your lips is truly beautiful, both inside and out.

There's more to it than the one-swipe application. A blot with tissue tones things down, or a slick of tinted lip balm adds a soft sheen. Our trick for fuller-looking lips is to build a focal point of lighter colour at the centre of the lips, over a darker base. Then blend the colours for a gradient effect.

Our versatile formula also makes a great blush. We like to warm it with our fingers before blending it into the apple of our cheeks, for a beautifully fresh look.
