The story goes that when
Christian Louboutin was putting the finishing touches on a pair of his glamorous stilettos, he thought that something was still amiss Luckily, his assistant was painting her nails nearby with a bottle of red nail polish and in a moment of eureka, the designer grabbed the nail polish and slathered the soles of the shoes red. Just like that, the iconic Louboutin red soles were born. Many years later with the launch of the Christian Louboutin Beauty range, the same red color was reinterpreted in many different forms, aptly given the name "Rouge Louboutin". So today I will be sharing with you my review and swatches of the
Rouge Louboutin Silky Satin Lipstick ($120 CAD). To read on, click......

Packaging:
Housed in a lacquered black metal body, the Rouge Louboutin Silky Satin Lipstick is nicely weighted for a very luxurious feel. The cap is studded with raised Art Deco patterns and the underside is painted red to evoke the glamor of the Louboutin red soles. The cap is looped with a silky black ribbon so if you wanted to, the lipstick can be worn as a necklace. As I've said in
my last Christian Louboutin review, the packaging of these lipsticks is as luxurious as it gets. They feel more like a precious piece of jewelry and not just a tube of lipstick.

Formulation:
With a lightweight yet creamy texture, the Louboutin Rouge Silky Satin Lipstick is a rich true red lipstick finished with a natural sheen. For the Louboutin Rouge shade, two other finishes (Velvet Matte and Sheer Voile) are available. The pigmentation is great as one swipe provides an almost opaque coverage. Moisturizing, cushioning, and smoothing, the formulation doesn't bleed or feather but the color is not smudge-proof. With that said, you can get at least four to five hours of decent wear without having to touch things up. Overall, this is one amazing red lipstick. The color is super classy and the packaging is just stunning. If you plan on investing in any of the Christian Louboutin Lipsticks, this one is my recommendation!
