We know the so-called ‘lipstick effect’ has been superseded by the eye make-up effect but frankly, we do give a damn about sweeping on a gorgeous lipstick for all those days when we’re not wearing a mask. Even when we’re #WFH – as someone said, when you catch a passing glimpse of yourself in a mirror it’s so much nicer if you look nice…

These new Chantecaille Lip Veils join the existing collection and they are, quite simply, perfect. The three shades - Plumeria, Acacia and Tamarind – are the softest, prettiest, natural autumn colours, which suit all skin types.

Creative Director Oliver Chantecaille calls the tints ‘neutral’, which may sound a bit dull but we promise they’re not. They just make lip colour look like, well lip-coloured, but much better.

The texture is heaven as with all Chantecaille lip products. Creamy, light, and super emollient from the intensely nourishing, sustainable, FairWild-certified baobab oil it contains.

As usual with Chantecaille, there’s a charity element. Lip Veil was created to support Space for Giants, a conservation non-profit that protects elephants’ migratory paths across Africa. The box and tube both have an elephant tramping across them.

We love elephants, we love Chantecaille and we ADORE these new lip treats…
