The internet has tried just about everything in the name of fuller lips, from overlining them into an entirely new shape to testing every plumping gloss that promises a little extra volume. But Chanel is offering a more glamorous proposition: What if the secret to a good pout was simply a very good lipstick?

It’s a question worth entertaining, especially as glossy lips continue to make their way back into the beauty conversation. The reflective, softly defined looks circulating on social media borrow heavily from the ’90s, when a neutral lip liner and a shiny finish were practically beauty commandments. Chanel’s interpretation, naturally, comes with a little French savoir-faire and some particularly attractive packaging.

The Perfect Pout

The ’90s supermodel lip is alive and well, and Chanel has just the gloss for the occasion. Try the shade Icing for a milky pink finish or Accessoire for a neutral beige that practically begs for lip liner.

The house’s Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss is a good place to start. Its hydrating formula combines camellia ceramides and a Hydra-Peptide Complex, while the high-shine finish helps lips appear smoother and fuller. Among the shades worth knowing are Icing, a milky pink that complements the barely-there makeup aesthetic, and Cristal, a shimmering pink for those who prefer a little sparkle. Accessoire, meanwhile, offers a neutral beige that would look right at home in a ’90s supermodel’s makeup bag.

The All-Night Lip

Why choose between a matte lip and a glossy one when Chanel offers both? This dual-ended formula pairs richly pigmented color with a mirror-like topcoat, promising up to 16 hours of wear.

For those who like their lip color to last beyond the first coffee, Chanel’s long-wearing liquid formula combines rich pigment with a clear gloss topcoat. Pink Nude and Caramel Beige are especially appealing for a softly contoured finish, while the house’s satin lipsticks offer a more classic alternative when the occasion calls for something less shiny.

A Chanel Classic

Not every lipstick needs a lip liner, a gloss, and a 10-minute tutorial to earn its keep. Chanel’s Rouge Coco glides on with a satin finish and a nourishing formula designed for effortless application.

A Chanel lipstick makes a lovely stocking stuffer, but the house’s beauty offerings hardly end there. Its compact mirrors and curated sets are equally worthy of a spot on the holiday wish list, provided they don’t mysteriously end up in your own handbag first.

The beauty of the look is that it doesn’t demand much beyond a flattering shade and a little attention to detail. And unlike the latest internet beauty challenge, a Chanel lipstick is unlikely to become embarrassing in a few years.
