Eclipsed by the mask in recent months, lipstick is making a comeback in color we didn’t expect: a flashy orange, daring and more vibrant than ever. Enough to breathe a good dose of optimism into our daily lives while waiting for summer.
No, lipstick is not dead! The pandemic has certainly weakened him, for a time, relegated to the background by wearing a mask, but he has not said his last word. In its boldest version, it’s even making a comeback, an orange that won’t go unnoticed this summer. It remains to be seen if he will be able to appear in front of the world or be content to be the star of the most beautiful pictures posted on social networks.
Natural vs. extravagant
However, the global pandemic was at the origin of a return to naturalness, with a complexion worked, but not overloaded, lips all in shine, but not tinted, and a more marked look, but without extravagance. A return to essentials directly linked to confinement, the generalization of telework, but also the obligation to wear a mask in public spaces. Why achieve a sophisticated makeover that no one will notice? So what does this return to color as vibrant as orange mean? The end of the epidemic… hard to imagine. We would rather bet on a need for optimism, freshness, cheerfulness in response to a gloomy period.
