DIRECTOR'S CHOICE
Skincare brand Augustinus Bader, whose eponymous founder is a biomedical scientist and physician, has teamed up with award-winning director Sofia Coppola to introduce tinted lip balms in three shades. Coppola's eye for colour - as shown in luscious films like Marie Antoinette and The Beguiled – is here presented in deep pink (Shade 1), red coral (Shade 2), which she likes for summer, and a burnt earthy plum (Shade 3). The Tinted Balm starts off as a sheer wash and intensifies with each application. Made with a hydrating blend of plant-based butters and oils, such as shea butter, vitamin E and candelilla wax, and featuring the brand's TFCS skin cellular-renewing technology, each application moisturises the lips and shields them from environmental stressors.
