I can never look at a lipstick collection and think, “That’s enough.” A different shade can completely change the feel of a makeup look, and I love having options that range from polished and elegant to something a little more effortless.
A few shades that have caught my attention lately are these four.

Chanel Rouge Coco Bloom in 112 Opportunity

Chanel Rouge Coco Bloom in 112 Opportunity has that polished Chanel feel that makes a lipstick look instantly put together. I love shades that can work with a simple makeup look without making everything else compete for attention. The Rouge Coco Bloom formula also has a glossy finish, so this would be lovely when I want my lips to look smooth and fresh rather than completely matte.

Chantecaille Lip Veil Lipstick in Honeypot

Chantecaille Lip Veil Lipstick in Honeypot gives my collection a softer, more understated option. The shade has an elegant feel that makes sense for everyday makeup when I want something subtle but still noticeable. I’d pair this with softly defined eyes and a little blush. It has the kind of refined look that doesn’t need a complicated makeup routine around it.

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in 99 Pirate

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in 99 Pirate is the statement shade of the group. That rich red instantly brings more drama to a makeup look, even when the rest of my makeup stays minimal. I’d keep the eyes simple and let the lipstick do all the talking. A precise application would make this shade feel especially elegant for an evening look or a special occasion.

Peripera Ink Mood Matte Stick in 01

Peripera Ink Mood Matte Stick in 01 brings a more playful Korean beauty touch to the collection. I like matte sticks because they’re easy to swipe on and can create that soft, blurred lip effect without requiring a complicated application. This is the one I’d toss into my everyday makeup bag. It feels less precious than a luxury lipstick, so I can reach for it whenever I want a quick pop of color.
Chanel Opportunity gives me glossy polish, Honeypot brings a softer finish, Pirate makes the bold statement, and Peripera adds an easy everyday option. Together, they make a lipstick lineup that feels much more exciting than having four shades that all look the same.
